Well Steady... Both references work quite well, and even fit the intent.

The group most well known for that song is the 5th Dimension, but a large number of people have done their own version, including Sinatra from what I understand.

Meanwhile... this post will put you back UP in the world of FM!

Cheers!

that's it...."My beautiful my beautiful Ballooooon..."

I saw a Hot Air balloon today flying over the typically wooded hills around here (Birmingham) and I thought:

"Those people must be crazy. Where are they going to land that thing?"

If I go up in a balloon again (I did once to bungee jump in Napa many years ago), I want to know there is a field/pasture or desert or prairie waiting for a soft safe landing.

Been here since 2005, and I consider myself a lurking newbie. I am strictly a hobbyist, but do a few paying gigs.

I used to post and comment on here but stopped for many reasons.

1: Back in the day, this place was full of hero worship. Not a hero? then dont bother.

2: Comments like..Snapshot, dont waist our time. I am sure to the guy who posted, it wasnt a snapshot.

People would hammer folks if the image was too large (or too small). Many of the shooters whos work I admired and followed left because of this. (who was the guy who had a daughter named "Seven". His family stuff was stunning)

3: Too much critisism, little advice.

Today,life is a zoo, and I have less time to shoot, but just the other day I did a bunch of stuff in my house for friends of the wife who wanted some calendar shots. Not the first time I have done it, but they were horrible. Would love to have fealt I could post and get some genuine advice.

Anyway Steady, good thread, and your comments always seem balanced.

Rant over!

Regards

Brendon
