Sharon Doig, Black Mountain and Balloon (SINGLE SHOT 2024)

What's more thrilling than watching the Canberra Balloon Festival on the ground? Being a passenger in a hot air balloon flying in the festival! This shot was taken at sunrise while passing over Lake Burlie Griffin, Canberra, Australia. The early morning golden hour light gives the photo a 3D look to the hot air balloon and Black Mountain Tower. Shot on a Pentax KF, F10, 1/200s, 800 iso at 55 mm.
