Black-And-White Photo Competition 3 2022 : Entry Number 33

A brilliant photo combination of foreground and background. The photographer definitely deserves credit for this photo. People's gestures are beautifully displayed with the big balloons.

I love street photography, that why my camera always with me. I, with my daughter, walking in Vingis park in Vilnius, Lithuania, there, during the summer, hot air balloons rise every day. People gathers to watch the event, this spectacle always fascinates all. I found the most suitable angle from which I could see the balloons rising and the people watching them. A massive bench helps to express the separation between the people on the ground and the balloons rising. The trees growing around helped a lot to perfectly frame the whole shot, a massive bench helps to express the separation between the people on the ground and the balloons rising. People's gestures speak for themselves. Shot taken with medium format camera ARAX MC, lens Arsat 80/2.8, film Ilford PAN F 50 The camera isn't the best for street photography, but it was perfect for this shot.
