Yellow & Cute, a photo from Vaud, West

Photographer's Note

This is not the most brilliant composition but it's a photo which makes me feel happy as I love the bright colours and blue sky. No need to saturate. I programmed my camera to accentuate vivid colours.

At the balloon festival, I wanted to see this chicken but when it took off, it had it's back to me and by the time in turned around, it was already too high in the sky to include chapel or mountain. It was convenient having the 18-200 mounted as usual.

---------------------------------------

Ce n'est pas la composition la plus recherchйe mais une image qui me rend heureuse а cause des couleurs vibrantes et le ciel si bleu. Pas besoin de saturer. En effet l'appareil йtait programmй pour accentuer les couleurs vives.

Au festival de montgolfiиres je voulais voir ce poussin mais lorsqu'il a dйcollй, il йtait de dos et le temps qu'il se retournait, il йtait dйjа trop haut dans le ciel pour inclure chapelle montagne. C'йtait pratique d'avoir le 18-200 montй comme d'habitude.

Nice picture. The simplicity is its strong suit since no elements deflect attention away from the hot air balloon and the striking colors. Well seen and well placed within the frame.

Bonsoir Nikki
Des couleurs qui claquent. Superbes.
Je suis dans le mкme cas que toi, je n'ai rйussi а le cadrer que de dos au dйcollage :-(
On devait vraiment кtre voisin pour nos prises de vue.
Bravo

Hello Nikki,

Un poussin qui explose le ciel par sa couleur йclatante. Une compo simple mais un sujet qui attire le regard dйs la vignette.
Bravo !

Hola Nikki.

Correctнsimo tнtulo y nota. Ademбs comparto lo que dices sobre el 18-200 (me vuelvo loco cambiado continuamente los objetivos).

Ademбs, todo hay que decirlo, la foto resulta muy graciosa.

Un saludo.

salut Nikki,

Elles sont marrantes, ces montgolfiиres aux formes diverses, зa me rappelle les cerfs volants de Dieppe. Jolies couleurs ici.

Hi Nikki
Come on and admit - which exactly of the bright colours is it that you love so much???! Good that the chicken finally turned round, he is looking directly at us now. Looks like you had a fun day and perfect weather there again!

Hi Nikki
Yellow and blue work so well together and you have the right amount of each. I think he likes having his picture taken.

Hello Nikki! Totally cute, what do you want more, a little blue, a little yellow, absolutely sufficient to make a great picture, a happy picture, no need to be up there in the balloon, it is as exciting to be on the ground when it comes to hot air balloons, I never get enough and go completely gaga :))) Have a wonderful weekend, Barbara.

PS. I saw your question to Clark regarding Arches (I guess he will answer you as well). It GETS HOT in summer, I was there last June. But I mean you are from Australia so you should be fine, same same temperatures, at least it is a dry heat which makes it more acceptable. A lot of people in these parks in summer and yet there are always ways to avoid them, do a step to the right and bang you are alone ... just some thoughts. Plan to go there?
