title:

Hot Air Balloon Sunrise

gen. notes:

This is a superimposition of two shots taken on the same day. It was of the sunrise horizon as the hot air balloon that was about to lift me above the earth's surface was being inflated. The second shot was of the interior of the balloon itself, fully inflated.

photo edit notes:

Color and contrast adjustments were made both layers independently using different files. I used the burn tool to darken the metal loop in the lower left to keep it from distracting from the main focus. The balloon image was selected, copied and pasted on a layer above the sunrise. Very little repositioning was needed to center the radial focus on the horizon. I used the paintbrush eraser tool to provide the degrees of transparency that I desired to see the sunrise.
