"Balloon Man" - a photo on Flickriver

"Balloon Man"

            This man brings a bag of balloons and a chair to the Farmer's Market in Appleton, Wisconsin and creates hats and animals for children.  The kids love it.  The parents often leave a few dollars in the bucket for him.   I think the man is visually impaired, but he has a great time with the people.  He enhances the world.

I used my Pentax K5 and Pentax 18-135mm lens to make the image.  Processing was done in Aperture 3, PS CS5, and NIK Silver Efex 2.

Camera settings:  ISO 400, Aperture f/10, Shutter 1/125, focal length 100mm
