For those of you who didn’t think it quite right to do photographs of balloons in B&W, here are balloons up-close and personal, in early morning, stark, bright light, backlit, and in living color. Several balloons where launching from the “goat head” field at the top of our road, so I grabbed a few photos as I drove by on my way to work. All the photos were done with my iPhone, and the effect on the last photo is shooting through a dirty windshield.
