Balloons

A bit of a shadow of its former self. It's the Northampton Balloon festival this weekend and as the forcast was good and it's only 20 minutes from where I work I got up extra early in the hope of catching the 6 am flight! This sort of thing never happened before I took photographs..

Great shot and beautiful light. Good point, the camera definitely improves one's vision.

Lovely shot! I assume you mean getting up early never happened before photographs? I am afraid it still doesn’t happen in our house! I’m much more likely to produce a sunset than a sunrise!

@sarasotab Thanks :)
@carole_sandford Thank you Carole. Yes I'm not really a fan of early mornings but it is a great time to be out with a camera.
@shepherdman Thanks

Most fabulous on black. One of the many benefits of being a photog is seeing and appreciating things differently- Fav.
