Water Balloon Pop

A friend and I played this afternoon at trying to capture water just as the balloon popped. I assure you, it is NOT easy. This was the best I got which I actually think is pretty good. I took 141 shots and kept only 20 on the first go around. I'll probably end up keeping only about 5 or 6 images.

I think it is excellent. I have never tried it before, and it certainly doesn't look easy to do, but it looks like loads of fun.

This so much fun to do. I did a similar thing wi burstibg callins over my grandsons head. It was hilarious.

Very cool!

[Stef Neyhart]

Great timing and detail. This reminds me I should get rid of the 50,000 photos that I have in Lightroom. :)

I've tried this before so I know what you mean about the 141 shots and only keeping 20. Well done on this image! They're a lot of fun! :-)

Not tried this but I image it takes some great timing like catching water drops (which I have done) and a lot of patience and towels to mop up the mess. I like the shape of the water. It looks very cool. Might have to give this a go 😊😊

[Elizabeth]

Super cool image!

[Candace]

Wow, that is a lot of hard work to get this great capture!

[Jessika Panteleios]

Excellent shot. What a cool final outcome.

[Sarah Munnings]

Fantastic, I love this type of photography

[Lisa Poland]

Neat shot. I used a setting that took multiple shots when I did it, even then I didn't get anything sometimes.
