Montgolfiade de Geneve Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hallo, sorry been absent from trek-earth for a while :)

Fresh from the CF card, just took it 2 hours ago, from the Hotair balloon festival, Montgolfiade de Geneve.
Taken at Park Bertrand where they launched many balloons. In the afternoon, the balloons will be launched from different places at geneve.
The festival would be until tomorrow.

Have a nice week end

Hi cessy

Wonderful colour & reflections. There is some banding in the sky. Maybe gaussian blur would fix it? Good sharpness & repetition of the balloons. Tfs!

Hi Karyna,
the reflections in this shot are very beautiful.
The POV perfect.
Best regards

Hi, Cessy. Balloons are always nice to look at with their wonderful colours and round shapes. You've created a nice depth here with the two balloons grounded or just taking off and the one already high in the sky. I also like the reflection in the pond where the water has a very peculiar colour. And you are very happy to have such weather. Here it has been raining almost continuously since this morning :o(.

Cessy,
Great composition here with the reflection adding nice balance to the shot.
The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF. The polarizer provides great depth to the shot with the deep blue sky. The colors of the balloons are nice set off by the sky.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Cessy,
I see you now don't have to travel as far as Chateau d'Oex and have this spectacle at your doorstep, nice take off image that could get some more intensity, see WS
Have a nice week end JY

I Cessy, the baloons are always photogenic, and the reflected water enhances the subject, but:
-the horizon is leaning to the right
-the contrast and brightness could be better, as shown in JY's workshop

I realise you posted it only 2 hours after taking it, so I understand there can be imperfections :-)

Hi Cessy.

I think you like ballons, isn't it?
I like this vertical format and also the reflections on the water.
The contrasted colours are nice too.

Regards.
