Fotografiranje letenja s toplozračnimi baloni

Lepoša, Nina (author), Ahtik, Jure (mentor)

Toplozračni baloni imajo lepoto, ki se zelo razlikuje od drugih načinov letenja. Fotografiranje iz helikopterjev in letal je lahko navdušujoče, a toplozračni baloni se veliko počasneje premikajo, saj njihovo gibanje večinoma narekuje veter, zato so toliko bolj zanimivi za fotografa. Hkrati je na fotografijah ujetih veliko barvnih kombinacij, oblik in vzorcev. V uvodnem delu so predstavljena teoretična izhodišča delovanja toplozračnih balonov, kratki pregled zgodovine letenja s toplozračnimi baloni in fotografije iz zraka. Prav tako smo pregledali pravne podlage za fotografiranje javnega dogodka z množico ljudi in zakonodajo na področju letenja s toplozračnimi baloni. V poglavju tehničnih smernic so povzete teoretične osnove fotografije in nastavitve osnovnih parametrov na fotoaparatu. V eksperimentalnem delu je predstavljeno načrtovanje in izdelava fotografij, namenjenih za promocijo dogodka. V končnem delu smo vključili analizo razlike med fotografijami posnetih s tal in s toplozračnega balona. Glavni namen magistrskega dela je bil izdelati serijo fotografij, ki bo vsebovala krajinsko in reportažno fotografijo s pridihom abstraktnosti, pri različnih pogojih in osvetlitvah. Pri raziskovalnem delu smo fotografirali Slovensko odprto državno prvenstvo in svetovno predprvenstvo v letenju s toplozračnimi baloni. Rezultat raziskovalnega dela je serija fotografij, ki je na kreativni način, s poudarkom na skrbno izbranih kadrih, prikazovala naravo z baloni, s pogledom z zraka, predvsem pa dokazala, da lahko človek čarobnost sveta doživi iz druge perspektive.

• Title: Photography of flying with hot air balloons

Abstract

Hot air balloons represent a different kind of beauty than all other ways of flying. Taking pictures from helicopters and airplanes can be inspiring but what's different about hot air balloons is that they move much slower because their range of motion depends mostly on the wind. That is why they can be much more interesting for a photographer. We can capture together a lot of color combinations, shapes and patterns. Firstly, we are introducing theoretical base about the function of hot air balloons and a short overview of history of flying with hot air balloons and air photographing. It was also in our interest to learn about relevant law of taking pictures of a public event with a crowd and legal acts on the subject of flying with hot air balloons. In the chapter about technical guidelines we summarized some theoretical basis of photography and settings of basic parameters on a camera. The second part is experimental part of our paper in which we present planning and making photographs that are meant to promote an event. Final part of our work consists an analysis of differences between pictures taken from the ground and those taken from hot air balloons. The main purpose of this master’s paper is to make a series of photographs which contains landscape and news photography with a dash of abstractness in different conditions and lighting. Our research part contained photographing Slovenian open state championship and World pre-championship in flying with hot air balloons. As result we present a series of photographs which show the nature with hot air balloons, on a very creative way with the emphasis on carefully chosen shots, with an air view and most importantly we proved, that a man can feel all the magic of this world from a whole different perspective.
