So I borrowed a BB gun from a friend and with a little padding on the wall I set to popping balloons. This time I added some glitter to the mix but wasn't overly excited by the results.

3. My favorite of the bunch. I put two balloons together and only hit one. I think it looks like an exploding planet.

4. The glitter ones weren't as exciting.

7. More did not equal better.

I like the second one a LOT! Looks like something the Hubble would have taken (without the pieces of balloon, of course)...
 
Thanks

The aftermath...don't worry the rug is just an old piece I had

Very nice! Hopefully, you were able to just roll it up and toss it in the garbage?

The first one reminds me of some fire photography. I saw a DigitalRev video with Ben Von Wong doing some by lighting coffee creamer (I think?) on fire...That could be fun! :)
 
Yeah i want to try fire but that won't do well in the basement.

You could do the same thing with coffee creamer and an exposed flame.
 
Yeah, fire in the basement is a tragedy waiting to happen...It's on my list of things to try in the near future though!
 
Any suggestions on what to try next? I was thinking water or maybe eggs
