balloons!

having some fun with ballons in the weekend!

hai gareth

i put soap in the ballon so it was foamy. i hoped that it could capture the water's movement. i didnt i crop the picture, next time i would do a wider angle.

thank you for your comment

Try cropping the top image square loosing the highlights from the window. IMHO it improves the photo no end.


Best wishes, Kris.

i shot a couple of picture, how about this one?




anyway just wandering kris why is having the highlights from the windows is bad?

Hi Iqbal - any other highlights draw the viewer's attention away from your subject (the balloon/s) - so stray highlights end up becoming a distraction.

ah i see..thank you gareth, i-berg for the explanation.
how about the composition? the way i see it maybe it needed a wider angle?

No, I don't think a wider angle lens would help. That would give you greater depth of field whereas the shallow depth of field is what gives the image a more 3D feel and greater interest.

The alternative shot you posted is better, but I think I still prefer the square crop of the first. But then I am a sucker for square images. I must dust off my Yashica...

Best wishes, Kris.
