Yes those barmy summer days (did we have any?) are clearly a thing of the past, yet October can prove to be one of the best months, full of light winds, wonderful misty dawns and colours to die for. Can't wait to get out there and shoot some more landscapes and the good thing is.... dawn isn't so early and dusk isn't too late!
Not quite packed the balloon away yet as I'm on standby to fly the Channel with 70 other balloons - should provide some interesting and colourful images, but I must remember to fly the thing as I don't want close-ups of the waves.
Off to Bristol again this weekend to witness 20 or so gas balloons take-off in the 54th International Gordon Bennett Trophy. We will be supporting a local pilot who set a world record last year. They fly thousands of miles over several days and the winner is the one that flies the furthest as measured in a stright line from the take-off site. Could be tricky shooting as they take-off at night! Gordon Bennett 2010 Gas Balloon Video
