Last month my wife and I had an opportunity to experience a sunrise hot air balloon ride outside Florence, Italy. We were fortunate to have a perfect morning. The flight was about 90 minutes. These are just a few of the many images captured. We were in 6 countries in 18 days. This morning certainly is a life long memory from that adventure.

Working at a golf course 2 mornings a week and having to be there before dawn, catching morning light is no problem. Beauty abounds. A few examples. Always experimenting, always learning.

Thanks, this was shot with a D-850, 24-70 2.8, ISO 200, f/8, 10 sec exposure. I did not use bracketing. I hope that helps. Yes, I did used a tripod on the deck of the ship. Hope you like it.

Was the shot of the night city done with HDR? At low light levels long exposures are needed. My camera will do an automatic bracketing using shutter time as the exposure variable. I guess I'm asking if the long exposures duration interfere in the HDR capture process

Thanks Jerry, just wanted to give a different look. I have loads of images of the old city, walls, cannons, etc. This puts the city (or ship) into perspective. Behind this ship in the harbor was another ship. The harbor is bigger than this image shows but lens compression makes it look smaller. I try to tell stories with a lot of my images. Always looking for a different angle.

Nice, but that ship looks out of place.

Thanks, after centuries of this town being invaded, it's now only invaded by tourists! The large ship in comparison to the rest of the composition is what I was looking for. Thanks again.

The first shot looks like the town is being invaded - the ship is so large in comparison. Colors in the second are outstanding.

Thanks, my intention in the first shot was the contrast of the ship, walls, boats and cars. The lens compression helped. Although this ship is small compared to others (2,300 passengers) it still looks massive in the harbor. Appreciate you checking it out.

Very interesting photo of the large ship in contrast with the old buildings and the small boats.
You captured the city lighting with reflections in the water beautifully

Our ship pulled into Malta and I wanted a capture from a little different perspective. After trying different locations, I liked this shot of our ship the best. I was on a ferry and had to wait until the name of the ship came into view. I love the composition with the massive ship along side the ancient walls, smaller boats and cars in the foreground. The second shot was from the deck of the ship later that night looking back one of the three islands off of Valletta. I hope you can appreciate what I was trying to convey. Sincerely value comments (positive and constructive) from other UHG members. Thanks!!!

Thanks, it was a trip of a lifetime. Loved St Moritz and the alps. Would go back tomorrow if I could. A photographers paradise.

Thanks and I'm glad I could fill that gap. We picked the perfect time to go and I was lucky enough to capture composition while moving. Around every corner was an opportunity to shoot. Certainly a stop on our 18 day visit to Europe that demands a return trip.

I enjoyed all your images more than words can say! I know I'll never get to visit Switzerland, but photos like yours fill the gap for me! Beautiful is an understatement!

I put a lot of faith in my D-850 😀 but let’s hope I never have to test that theory.

So if you dropped your camera and the shutter fired when it landed, would you still get a good photo?

Thanks Mike, Yes train movement was an issue but with a higher shutter speed it certainly helped. With this kind of landscape it was difficult to take a bad photo.

Excellent set! Especially impressive under the conditions (train movement).

Our only regret was we didn't leave enough time for this stop. We will definitely return. A beautiful part of the world for sure. Cows!!! Oh yes, here's one I didn't include. Swiss cows along a creek! Glad you liked the revisit and the images.

Well done. Did you tour the Egyptian Museum in Turin?
Sorry, no. Turin is farther west of Milan. Our train was from St Moritz, Switzerland to Tirano, Italy. Just a two hour ride each way. We wish we had more than 2 days there. Such beauty! Glad you liked the images!
