Oh, so close

A balloon almost colliding with an office block. No, make that 2 office blocks.

I shot this early one morning in July this year arriving at work, with a Fuji X100, a great little unit with one big drawback - it is too easy to change exposure and operational settings. This was a snap I had just seconds to get, and in pulling out the camera, I dialled in +2 stops exposure, and knocked the auto shutter speed to manual, making this about 5 stops or more over exposed. This is the bit left in the RAW file that I could save to present this little drama you you...

PS This balloon belongs to the RAAF, the Australian Air Force. Hope they fly jets a bit better.
