Moon_Balloon_sm.jpg
by Ron Crain

Reno

Out of 2 days of shooting the Reno Hot Air Balloon Races, I think this is the most unique shot.
This shot was taken as I was waiting for the shuttle back to the hotel on Sunday morning after the bulk of the festivities were over. Used my longest lens (70-200/f4.0), this is a crop of the original image, ran it through Neat Image (first time I tried it).


other sizes: small medium original auto

Please, no tweaking... To me the shot is great as it is, I like the softness of the halo of the moon! It makes you wonder, look twice and then: aah...

Great capture ron, I might tweak it a bit to darken the sky and maybe bring up the moon a bit
