BALLOON IN JUNE by Mark Aksoy

July 2017 - BALLOON IN JUNE

About the Image(s)

This image was taken at the nearby Chester County Balloon Festival on a beautiful summer day last month. The soaring hot-air balloon was shot handheld with my Nikon D80 plus 24-120mm Nikon lens. My settings were 24mm, f/5.6, 1/320sec and ISO400. In Lightroom, I adjusted the exposure, enhanced contrast and clarity, and applied the Dehaze filter. In Photoshop, I added a border.

WOW!!. This is a very very nice image. I really like the color balance, the composition, and the technical excellence as manifested by the extremely sharp focus and lighting. The image MIGHT be improved by increasing the exposure by about half a stop. See VF. GOOD JOB!!!   Posted: 07/22/2017 14:08:21

Great composition. I love the diagonal. Great space at bottom left to create the moment .   Posted: 07/23/2017 14:39:06

Great image with the blue sky as a background. The wispy clouds also add to the image. The colors of the balloon are great against the sky.   Posted: 07/24/2017 10:46:38
