Today we woke up early in the morning because we want to be at Putrajaya Precinct 2 early, to be there before the hot air balloon rise up!
It is the Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta!
I prepared some snacks, sandwiches and fingers food for both Issac and Annabelle as we have to leave the house so early before 6.30am. We were finding our way to the right place as we followed the signage along the road once our car entered to Putrajaya areas.
In the morning, the weather seems like not really favorable for the event of the day. Patches of thick clouds hovering all around and made the sky so moody.
The balloonists already at the designated fields to set up the balloon, firing up the hot air and around 7.00am we can see a few of the hot air balloon were ready to fly up to the sky.
I was quite amazed and quite an eye-opening experience seeing the numbers of people holding DSLRs, It was as if the existence of compact point and shoot camera has ceased, and no longer matter.
Not only the volume of DSLR users are unbelievably enormous, the lenses mounted on their DSLR s are nothing short of spectacular. All those giant ultra wide angels, bazookas such as 70-200mm, and even more fisheyes lenses.
Even Daddy too, brought his 2 cameras – Canon 500D and 7D. And, we can feel and massive ‘human flood’ in to this area!
More and more hot air balloons up to the sky! The design of some of the balloon were rather interesting, though there were also plain and ordinary looking ones. The crowd favorites of coarse were the Darth Vader and Doraemon.
This was of coarse, our first time such an event. I have always seen hot air balloons through newspapers, magazines, paintings, television shows, or even the internet.
I have not really encountered a life on my life. Being there having an opportunity to see through my own camera was quite a satisfying experience.
We did not go for a ride, because by watching the lining with hundreds of people for the tickets really scared us away.
We left Putrajaya around noon time, there was raining by the time our car drove through the bridge.
This shot was taken by Daddy during we left the area.
Good and great satisfaction of the close encounter with the hot air balloon. Hope next year we able to come again.
