Red Balloon (PiP)

Red Balloon (PiP)
This balloon appeared out of the mist in Derbyshire last week and not very far from the ground!
I watched it approach and wondered whether to move my motorhome from its path, suddenly the flame was lit and it began to rise very gently and passed over us quite safely but very noisily. It must have been very loud in the basket being that close to the gas jet.
My first attempt at a PiP and my thanks to Herb who provided me with excellent instructions.

Frans Schols, Berny, Aschi "Freestone", Ecobird and 2 other people have particularly liked this photo

An excellent series of images Greg. What good luck that it was close enough for you to get some lovely clear shots.

Was concerned for a while that it was going to be too close but hot air rises and so did the balloon!!

Ha ha Greg, a great shot here and also a fine set of PiPs. (My pleasure to provide some help with the technical part of that -many thanks for the honourable mention.) Love this red balloon and the low contrast weather makes a great background. I used to see these going over our old static near Gisburn and often envied the occupants until I saw one make a very dodgy landing in the nearby fields.
Cheers, Herb
