those are great. would you be willing to share your technique for taking the picture at just the right time?

I tied a string around a wood frame that holds up some vines in my back yard, and then tied the other end of the string around the balloon and just let it hang there.
I auto focused on the balloon then switched to manual focus.
I practiced a few times with the timing....
swinging the knife (not hitting the balloon) and pressing the trigger at the same time.
then after i though i had the timing down, when I hit the balloon, i pressed the shutter release button.
knife in the right hand, shutter in the left...
 
cool, so did you use a remote release? get any water on the camera?
 
great idea, and cool shots!

I also have the same knife in blue, very useful
