Frigid Balloons

This was a cold day and we were about to go into a shop when I decided to stop and try to get something. I include this in my movement series and I think it has this look from a combination of a breeze and a little zoom. My fingers don't move well when they get real cold, I was having a hard time getting a grip (to stay smooth with the lens), the sun was doing nothing for warmth, but working as a fine backlight (and the angle of the shot gave me neck pain). I had to stick it out, there was an image here and I had to find it. I've found that when my fingers stop moving during shooting, they always seem to work again after warming them up. And that's good.

I knew we'd never get the angle on these balloons where they were high in the sky. I thought to try something right where I was. It was another one of those days were I'd purposefully left the house with one lens. That could be dumb, I don't know. This image wasn't working until I decided the power pole had to be in it. Maybe it makes you think of height or helps show the distance and perspective. I like the hint of clouds in the top of the frame. It helps tie it all together.
