Up up and away!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hope he comes down in Australia - or if not, that he has his passport in his pocket!

Andrew,

I'm actually having trouble deciding if that's a capture, or a release. :)

 LOL, reward offered for safe return.... you can keep the operator ;) .

This balloon is actually being replaced in two weeks. The replacement is 6metres long and has it's own 8m long trailer :) .

Yes it is great advertising. We get two to three jobs from passers by everytime we send it up. The new balloon will have the ability to carry signage which we will offer to companies looking to advertise at sporting events etc.

Great image! How much of a payload can the new one lift? Two operators?

Put it this way. A D3x with video gear and banners will not be a problem :) .

Yes it will be a two man operation. Since the last man is now probably floating somewhere over the Antarctic I'll be needing a replacement. No prior experience required as training will be provided, however applicants with concrete boots will be viewed favourably ;) .
