Like a bird Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

We have August, summertime, but it's raining again, all is grey. Therefore I decided to upload this Photo. It was my first Flight in an Balloon at Dolomiti Balloonfestival 2005 in Dobbiaco/Toblach. Next time I will try to fly in Austria.

It is always nice to see hot air balloons because they've got wonderful colours. Maybe I'd have waited a little while to take the picture in order to have a snow field everywhere and, like that, have the full shadows of the balloons.

Hi Miroslav, very nice shot! The colourful balloons over the white snow are very spectacular. I had never the opportunity to try a flight but I would really like to ...
Great shot, thanks for sharing!

Just a note: maybe you should put the dubble name Toblach/Dobbiaco in the directory in order make it possible to find it also through the german name.

Nice shot, Miroslav. The colours of the balloons contrast magnificently against the white of the snow, and their positioning as a diagonal across the frame makes for a good composition. Good sharpness too, but it needs rotating slightly CW as the balloons are all leaning to the left (and they can't fly like that!) I love hot air ballooning, but have never done it in a winter climate. Your photograph gives me the incentive to try it in winter because the balloons stand out so much better against the landscape. Cheers . . . David

Wow! Great perspective, and I love the sharp contrast of the colours of the ballons with the snow on the ground.

I'm glad you got the shadows of the baloons - they convey a sense of movement in an otherwise very serene photo.

Hi Miroslav,
Great colourful shot with plenty of details !
And the position of the sun makes long shadows...but not those of the baloons. Strange but very nice !

Bonsoir Miroslav
Des montgolfières sur un fond de neige cela fait une image qui sort des sentiers battus. Les couleurs claquent et l'image est pleine de légèreté.

Hmmm....so nice...
Great capture of a great moment, very good colors and clarity.
I always wanted to know how it looks from a balloon. You have encouraged my interest. I envy your flight...when I´ll have a chance, I´ll try to go flying in a balloon too (but not alone, I don´t want to have an experience like in the movie Vratne lahve! :-)
Great work Miro!
