Peek-A-Boo

Uploaded: August 01, 2012

Description

I took this image of 4 hot air balloons at 8:20pm at the Citrus Classic Balloon Festival in Santa Paula, California. The balloons were being inflated for the evening glow. The Canon 5D MK3 did a remarkable job of capturing these colors in such low light.

Canon 24-105 at 73, F8, 1/5th sec on tripod, ISO 4000

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/5 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 4000, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 73.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
