that's awesome how it retains the shape of the balloon.


I've also got that same knife, but in blue!

[Ranger]

That is really cool! It looks very strange!

[Tangerini]

Oooh that's incredible!

[mct]

Awesome!

I remember seeing some slow motion film of balloons being popped on youtube or somewhere similar and you only have a split second to get that shaped water effect.

Just out of interest how many tries did it take for you to get this shot?

[Andrew T. Mironov]

I got 6 pictures from 8 balloons
almost every shot came out different, but I think i like that one the best

Great Shot!

Excellent!

The best way to photograph popping balloons or anything at hi-speed is to use a sound or infra red trigger to fire flash in a controlled environment, you've been really lucky with the capture and its also a pretty good shot. H

This is really neat! Have you thought about using a projectile of some sort to pop the balloon so that your hand isn't in the photo?

Fricking awesome. After trying to capture a drop of water falling in mid air from a dripping spout this weekend, I have new found respect for how hard it is to time shots like this. Great job.
