Bristol Balloon Fiesta
I went with the family to the Bristol Balloon Fiesta last Thursday. It was the first time we had attended this event and whilst during the day it was relatively slow going, particularly as the winds had picked up which prevented the balloons launching, the evening was spectacular! During the afternoon, the shaped balloons were inflated and tethered, there were several shapes and sizes, not forgetting the pink gnome but, the motor bike dominated the skies with a height, when inflated, of 37 metres and a width of approx 45 metres, it was huge. The evening culminated with the night glow where 20-30 balloons were synchronised in inflation and then burning/glowing, all done to music! Here are a few shots taken on the day, it was a colourful day, Black and white would no do it justice! We will be going again next year!
Course update
As I reached the end of my Apprentice period with PhotoTraining4U, I attended a couple of courses run by Mark Cleghorn. I have only just got round to processing the files as I was away on holiday!
First up was the Wedding Photographers Wanted, which was a 2 day event run by Mark but he was assisted by other professional photographers, Gary and Sue Photography and Kenny Martin. The purpose of the 2 days was to allow the professionals to pass on their secrets to the business of Weddings, along with some great shooting tips and tricks to shoot and sell more, with the second day being practical shooting in and around the City of Cardiff with the masters. Here is a sneek peak at what I shot during the second day -
The second course was a follow up to the Wedding Photographers Wanted course and designed to give ideas on how to shoot Bride and Groom out on Location, hence the name Location Location. It was for photographers to develop their creative ideas and how to shoot quickly when getting out of the car when travelling perhaps between the ceremony and reception or looking at it as a follow up photo shoot in a cherish the dress style shoot, where more time would be available. It also included details of Album design and a bit of promotion/marketing. Again it was in and around locations in Cardiff and was great fun. Here are some of my shots from the 2 days.
