Norfolk in the Summer

4:30am is a time I generally only see if I have to go to Heathrow. This time I wasn't boarding a flight I was trying to photograph ten. Old Buckingham has a yearly balloon festival and after seeing a photo on instagram I booked tickets right away for early the next morning. Hot air balloons can be very fickle and with a modicum of wind they cannot take off. As a bit of luck the one morning I attended 9 out of the 10 balloons took to the skies. It was a beautiful sight.

Another Old Buckingham event, there's something both wonderful and terrifying with the announcer declaring it a miracle when these 80 year old planes are still flying. The Old Buckingham Air Show features spitfires, a flying fortress and a bunch of others. I thought the 56mm was going to get me no where close to capturing these but I'm really happy how they came out.

This year I was a volunteer for the Norwich Pride photography team, my first time photographing an event I learnt so much. Next year if I make it to the team I will do a lot more advance planning of shots, even though I was very familiar with the area I didn't quite achieve what I wanted to. I'm so thankful for the opportunity, I ended up on the roof of a department store harnessed in place.
