Re: Fun with Balloons

That is really good Paul especially manually triggering. We had a guy at camera club a couple of weeks back using an electronic sound trigger and his shots were not as good as yours

I'd never get away with those at home

me neither, I bet she would not let you do it with paint though

Thanks Stan, she actually suggested doing it with paint but outside I definitely wouldn't get away with it indoors.

Wonderful images Paul and great Blue Peter spirit. It's amazing what skill and ingenuity can achieve.
I'd never get away with those at home, so would you mind if I popped around to yours next weekend to give it a go?

Alex if your close enough you can pop round kitchen is a bit crapped though so might be a bit of a squeeze

Paul, the shots are fabulous and made even more impressive now I know how you did it.

Re: Fun with Balloons

Well captured Paul, I doubt that I could achieve that sort of coordination to capture an image like that.

I watched that program too, but didn't think of running into my kitchen to pop balloons. Hats off to you for giving it a shot :) Imagine how crazy it would have looked if you cloned out the popped balloon?

The wife suggested cloning out the popped balloon but I thought I would leave it in so people could easily see what it was. Will give it a go when I get in from work

Re: Fun with Balloons

Well done.
I hope you know what you've started first there was splash art kits/Smoke images and now water filled balloon popping.

Re: Fun with Balloons

As I said on FB, I cannot stand the thought of more water right now but admire your shots. I also admire the forbearance of your wife: mine would go nuts!!! How much water was there in them? It looks like gallons, but I am sure it was not as much as it looks! I will definitely try when we are in a period that looks more like drought outside!

Re: Fun with Balloons

Richard - each balloon were roughly 4 inches in diameter. As for the wife she just said as long as you clear up the mess then go for it. What I wanted was to fill each balloon with paint or flour but maybe next time when it warmer outside as I don't think I would get away with paint or flour going all over the kitchen
