Upside down ;-), a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

Shot taken at the International Balloon Festival of St-Jean-sur-le-Richelieu.
It tooks us a long time to understand the way this thing could be possible!!!

Here is another view of the "inverted" hot air balloon.

wow!! i'm just wondering how its possible too!! I woulwdn't like to be there! its so scary! lol!

MiguelP (14470) 2005-03-15 12:45

Yes, how is it possible Stephane? On attend votre explication... Meanwhile I like the compo of this picture, it works better, in my opinion, with the other balloon (the normal one) in the same shot. Great colors too.

Original! Est-ce que c'est un ballon gonfl� � l'h駘ium qui tient au sol? Belles couleurs, bravo!

Lol. That is funny. I am assuming this is a ballon that is made to look like it is upside down although it is really not. Correct? Very cool! I really like your composition. JP

Hmm....je suis sceptique quand m麥e. :)
En effet cela me parait bizarre cette histoire. Mais la composition de la photo est tr鑚 bonne, Bravo !
Nico.

C'est quoi le truc ?

G駭ial la compo. Les couleurs sont belles. Malheureusement je ne vois pas encore la mise en sc鈩e mais pas grave j'appr馗ie la photo.
Merci
Caroline

Salut Stef. Heureusement que tu m'as expliqu� en personne comment ce ballon fonctionne!

Ce que j'aime de la photo, c'est qu'on dirait presque une image sym騁rique dont le miroir serait une diagonale. Bien vu!

cantorboi (409) 2005-04-16 22:16

I thought sure this was PS trickery until I read your note on this and the other "inverted" note. Good composition, and quick thinking to get this shot. Very upsetting to the equilibrium.

seb36 (1060) 2005-04-21 3:44

I first thought you did some trick to the photo but hey! it's a real one! Well captured and very well framed. Congrats!

cobraphil8 (84) 2005-08-03 2:37

Excellente cette vue, cela occupe bien tout l'espace de la photo et puis cette sc鈩e est insolite � premi鑽e vue ;)

C'est toujours surprenant de la voir. Il faut aussi savoir que g駭駻alement, la montgofli鑽e Festo existe en deux exemplaires : celui-ci (invers�) et l'autre (normal) et g駭駻alement les deux volent ensembles ce qui cr馥 l'impression d'黎re dans la 4e dimension. La montgolfi鑽e invers馥 doit d'ailleurs toujours 黎re accompagn馥 d'une seconde, car son pilote est incapable de se diriger comme les autres (il ne voit rien puisque sa nacelle se trouve dans l'enveloppe) ; c'est donc le pilote de la seconde montgolfi鑽e qui lui donne les indications de vol par radio... Voil� pour les explications compl鑼es. Excellent coup d'oeil !

rally a funny one, but also very inetersting colorfull shot. good POV and framing, but colors could have been a bit more livelier. anyhow, thanks for sharing!!!

Fun shot; thanks for sharing!

Hi Stephane. As a keen balloonist, I thought this was something you had created in PS when I saw the thumbnail, but when I opened the full frame and saw that the registration number was still the correct way up on the 'inverted' balloon, I realised it was one of those novelty balloons. This is probably the most creative novelty balloon I have seen. Good capture. TFS. Cheers . . . David

Great!!!!!

LeToun (0) 2006-08-28 11:42

Excellent !!

au d饕ut, je croyais � un montage et comme tout le monde, je cherchais la nacelle pendue en dessous. tr鑚 ing駭ieux !
