More hot air balloons in Waterford
-
Some more shots from the Irish ballooning championships in Waterford. I was fortunate enough to get a flight in one last night, and was rewarded with some gorgeous light

Pity about the foreground. Carrick definitely not showing its best side. I’m tempted to crop out the warehouses. What does anybody think?

Wowee, lucky you John.
That’s what I call extreme landscaping.
Some stunning shots there.
Cheers Andy. Praise indeed from one inclined to descend into the bowels of the earth on any occasion! :)

Cracking shots John, Love the second last shot with the reflections its a cracker.
I would be tempted to crop the last one too . maybe just to the base of the ballon on bottom left?
Deeyou were very fortunate with that sky John
Great Shots
I’ll keep the bucket for your garden!!!LOL
Thats really cool… What was it like flying in them?
They all remind me of being a kid for some reason. Magic!!
Sinead.
Thanks folks.
Dee: I’d tend to agree, but looking at it, I’d prefer to leave a bit of foreground. I though about cloning, but then thought again, as it’d be a huge job. I might try to darken the foreground so that it doesn’t look so ugly.
Sinead: It’s a pretty amazing experience, when the burners aren’t firing, it’s really quiet and calm. It’s not cold either despite the altitude (the burners see to that!), it’s just so different seeing things from that height. I’d thoroughly recommend it if you ever get the chance.
