Photographing from a hot air balloon at Lake Eyre

Just returned from a road trip to Lake Eyre in the northern part of South Australia. We were there at the invitation of Balloonist and adventurer, Kiff Saunders. Kiff was involved in an horrific road accident earlier this year and celebrated his first balloon flight by flying over Lake Eyre.
The outback photographer got to ride along with Kiff. You can view some of the images captured here at excitations stock archive.

What an amazing flight, lifting of just as the sun peeped above the horizon and over Australia's largest salt lake in minutes. Amazingly, even though we were drifting slowly over the lake, the whole flight seemed to flash by. So many things to photograph and so little time to do it.
