The Ride

Encinitas, CA

prescience n.
Knowledge of actions or events before they occur; foresight.
So as I got into my car tonight to drive to my Photoshop class I recalled that I had seen a great shot of a hot air balloon two weeks ago. Perhaps it might happen again, I better take my Canon EOS 10D and put on the zoom lens.
VOILÀ!
By the way, please note the Cinco de Mayo colors!!!!

Excellent shot ! The bog balloon on the right pushes the eye to the smaller one that pushes to the tiny one at the bottom. I like this one a lot !

I expected to shoot some on 1st of may but unfortunately the wind turned and was blowing in direction of the airport take off here in Brussels. So the 22 baloons where not allowed to start.
Baloons are indeed a great photographic event, especially when many are together and starting at same time.

Your camera. Never leave home without it. Btw - Robin, you're a man of many experiences. So, when we gonna see a shot from way up IN the hot air balloon?? Great capture!!
