thanks, but funny you should pick my balloon shot
That was the very first picture I took on vacation Oct 2003 at a balloon festival that I thought might be good enough to post on the internet for a contest. It won POTW and a bunch of POTD's and I was so excited that I wanted to learn more about photography.
It ended up being my first picture I sold about 7 months later to the guy who owns the balloon when he found me on the internet
The rest is expensive history with a more expensive camera, printer, lenses, and all the stuff to print and sell my work
Everyone starts somewhere so just keep shooting
I bet photobot doesnt find dust spots and automatically fix your image if its tilted?
