Today’s challenge photo is of too friends and fellow photographers, Rennan Quijano, left and Steve King (yes it’s his real name) who are participating in the Spring Photography weekend at Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park here in Dawson Springs, Ky.
Ray wanted to try something different so he bought this large red weather balloon and with Steve’s help, they attached Ray’s GoPro Camera to the bottom of the balloon and tethering it with heavy duty kite cord they filled the balloon up with helium and set it aloft for a time over the lake here at the park. Ray set the camera to take a picture every three seconds and left it up long enough to record over 600 images. After editing them he said he only got about 5-6 that he was happy with, but in my book… for a first time test it turned out great. He’s turned in one of the images in for the contest tomorrow and I’m excited to see what it looks like and how well it does.
Photo was shot with my iPhone 5s and post processing was done in Snapseed.
