Today was the last day of the ons8 challenge, High Speed! I played around with water, coke juice, and fruit all day! I finally broke out the water balloons and started taking shots of the girls throwing balloons at each other! I remembered Tim Tadder's "water wigs" shots and I had to give it a go!
My shot doesn't even come close to his but it was a lot of fun! My girls were such great sports!
This is a shot of my daughter with a water balloon popping on her head! We were laughing like crazy! :o)
Thank you all who participated in the ons challenge! I love how it gets me connected again and gives me a chance to meet new 365ers! Until the next ons challenge! :)
Oh, this is so much fun! What a great high speed interpretation! Thanks for the ONS8 challenge -- it was a great week (and I loved that it didn't contain a selfie this time!).
Oh wow!!!! Super! Fav! I read up on how to do one of these type pics but HAD to face some house cleaning today... Hours cleaning two bathrooms. One is quite large . So... I just did not get an high speed photography shot yet. But I am still reading and leaning... So... One day! Thanks for hosting ons8! Need to post my "not high speed" pic for the day!
Great shot for the last day, sorry I had to bail on the last two challenges but just couldn't lift my head off the pillow I was feeling so sick but I really enjoyed the days I managed :)
Super timing! Water balloons are still on my bucket list. Doubt I will have any one willing to help like this though. Glad you all had fun. I really enjoy your ONS and look forward to when it comes around again.
Brilliant! I saw some pics similar to yours but in the middle of winter it's difficult to find someone who's prepared to be a model! Not even the offer of using warm water helped. So cool you got to have fun with your kids!
That looks great fun - wonderful timing. Many thanks for putting the challenge together - had great fun doing it, although some of the words were stretched somewhat in my case! Fav
What a fun thing to do! At first I thought she was wearing a jelly fish on her head, and I could not figure out why she was smiling!!
Thank you so much for setting up the ONS this week....it has been a lot of fun, and got many of us out of our ruts, and gave us a little guidance and a community to share when things got busy otherwise. Looking forward to the next one!
Please tell me what sort of balloons you used and how many times did you miss taking the exact moment? Was it difficult? How can you pinpoint when to take the shot? Looks fun.
@neatz i just used a regular balloon filled with water and had my camera set for rapid shutter release and just held down the button. It took about 4 balloons!
@taffy Lol! I know, Last ons I put the selfie back into the hat! :o)
Have a look at these.
(We had a real live, please don't let it be repeated too soon, one night stand with our dog Jinks last night! http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/365/2014-07-21)
Thanks for ONS - it's been fun. :)
Thanks for ONS, Jerry - it's been great, as always!

Love how it looks like she is wearing a hat and all the frozen water drops!
