Balloon Glow in Abilene - 09-26-2010, 12:25 AM


I pushed the second one hard on the exposure. I may have tried too hard to save it. I like the scene. I hope the post processing doesn't show too much.
On the first one I post-processed out some ghosting flare. The last one hasn't had much done to it. C&C please.

Thanks,
Jill

These are very nice. I can totally relate to shooting these... I shot the Plano balloon festival and I had a hard time with exposure too. I was shooting a 5D2, 35L and 85L, and I was at ISO 2000 most of the time.

I really like the 2nd one too, the composition is better than the 3rd one.

I'm going to the Balloon races in Natches in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to trying again.

Thanks, Todd. I enjoyed your pics of the Plano balloon fest. I'm going to try a different process on #2. My first processing brought out some banding noise, something I've never seen before with the 5D original. I hit it with some Topaz denoise 5, which has an anti-banding feature, but I think starting over will be best. I'm sure you will enjoy the races at
Natches. Some of the ballooners in Abilene are going from here to Albuquerque. I wish were going with them.
