I want explain you how is passed the story of this shot. When I saw the person and the balloon I was maybe at 6 or 10 meters, I've turned up, pre-focused and preset the camera and I've approach them up to the moment he was in the right position, fast final focusing adjustment and click, he and his family was so astonished ...., I've smiled and said him thanks and sorry I couldn't resist take the picture with the Mickey balloon behind him, they have smiled too, very kind persons. Thanks again my friend, I keep my fingers crossed to be together shooting again in September!
