Riding in a hot air balloon can cause a certain amount of haziness and you should fit a UV filter to your camera to help reduce, possibly eliminate this altogether. Then there is the hot air balloon itself. Some balloons seen at festivals and showground launch sites are quite amazing with fantastic shapes and vibrant colours and designs on the balloon envelope itself.
