Balloon morning: a 4 a.m. alarm for a pastel sky
Planning a balloon shoot for soft light — and which lens to pack.
Written by Mira
Balloons go up faster than you think — mostly in the first 20 minutes after sunrise. Arrive half an hour early.
What I packed
- 35mm for wide frames with people
- 85mm for single balloons against the sky
Expose the sky a touch brighter than normal for pastel tones without heavy editing.
