The Acqua Matrix photos were taken from three different positions (see map) in different moments, showing different aspects of the balloon.
  It is quite difficult for an ordinary visitor to photograph the Acqua Matrix: the scene illumination changes swiftly and the images are moving, so the film should be very fast. There is so many people that the use of tripod is anti-social and it is very likely that dark heads will border the bottom side of the photos.
  These photos have been mildly retouched through colour saturation and contrast enhancement. Otherwise it would be very hard to perceive their contents.

  In spite of these difficulties I hope these photos worth, at least, the patience to wait for the download.

  The storyboard, in my own words, is also available.

close album   When I first considered this album, the Acqua Matrix and the fireworks were intended as the main subjects. Then I realised other pictures were also interesting. In the end, these two sections remain the more detailed, but I like the other ones as well. goto previous page
