Hot Air Balloon

[ta thanx]

This is my first photo on here its an old one just to test the water.
My brother in law was on it so made a good present for him and his friend.
It was taken early morning over Burton in Lonsdale.

now re-sized hope its ok this time. Sorry about that.
this is straight off the camera all I have done is a little crop of the bottom and some rubbish cloning to get shut of an unsightly hedge
re-size and then sharpen.

I think that's a gorgeous pic. What processing did you apply?

 

[ta thanx]

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm a bit of a novice at the processing side of this photography.
I think it was just a contrast boost and a little sharpening.

That's beautiful, but it's almost like you've blurred certain parts of it?

To the left of the church, there's a blatant line where it goes from soft to sharp.

Very nice indeed.. you sure thats all the processing?
Looks like you blurred nearly all but the balloon and church to make them stand out more?

It's a really nice shot but it looks as though the blur goes across in stripes ...

very nice, I'm sure I saw a Virgin balloon this weekend, but I was in Ambergate derbyshire, so probably not the same one lol.

Great capture, but the processing is not to my taste.

Reminds me of the novel 'Enduring Love' by Ian McEwan.

Great shot imo - just very pleasing on the eye
