A hot air balloon that is so brilliant and colorful that rainbows simply refuse to appear in its presence!
The photo is totally “un-touched”, straight from the camera. It was taken with a Canon EOS 10D with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L telephoto zoom lens @ 200mm. The shutter speed was 1/350th sec at f/16. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. A Manfrotto tripod was used.

Hello, My name is Gene. I live in the Susquehanna river valley (West Branch), in the mountains of north central Pennsylvania. I strive to produce photographic images that are simply “true” to the subject, usually with minimal post processing. If something is beautiful or interesting enough to deserve a viewer’s attention, it justifies being captured just as it is …or as close to reality as possible.
