Re: PESO: King of Hot Air
Thanks, Don. Yes, the time of day was part of the problem. They started inflating the balloons at 6:00 AM. Although this was not one of the first to be inflated, the sun was still low in the sky and basically behind Elvis's left shoulder. I had to position myself to keep the sun and its glare out of the frame.

Re: PESO: King of Hot Air
It wouldn't be too hard to photoshop out that one balloon right over his head if you wanted to get rid of it. A little bit of selective levels curves would probably make him pop as well then invert the selection to add a teeny-tiny bit of gaussian blur to the other balloons which would make him stand out more. And that's a photo where pumping the saturation just a bit wouldn't be a distraction either. On 7/31/2013 4:33 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: Thanks, Don. Yes, the time of day was part of the problem.
