With so many people taking pictures I was really trying to find unique ways to get a shot. I was standing near some trees so I decided to take a picture through the leaves. I had to switch to manual mode to stay focused on the balloon. In auto focus the camera kept jumping back and forth between the balloon and the leaves, unable to make up it's mind.
Shooting through the leaves made for an interesting perspective and broke up the monotony of the blue, cloudless sky. Take away the leaves and I venture to say that this would be a very boring photograph. I set the camera aperture to f/2.8 to throw the leaves out of focus as much as possible. If I didn't tell you they were leaves you might think it is a reflection in a pond.
Camera specs in a nutshell; Canon 1D Mark III with EF 70-200mm lens at 200mm, f/2.8 @ 1/6400, ISO 400
Keep shooting!
