Water hat! by orangecrush

Water hat!

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! :)
very cool Jerry! it's been a fun week - tx so much for setting this up!

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 :)
July 21st, 2014  
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.
July 21st, 2014  
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!
July 21st, 2014  
wow
July 21st, 2014  
A fave, must try this one day with my boys and little girl! Thanks for organising this fun ONS,I really enjoyed it!

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!

Great shot, well done
July 23rd, 2014  
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.
July 23rd, 2014  
What a fun shot..........your daughter looks like she was enjoying it!
Love how it looks like she is wearing a hat and all the frozen water drops!

Brilliant!! Love it!! FAV
July 23rd, 2014  
Wow! Can I ask how u did this, did u have some sort of sound activated shutter release?
July 24th, 2014  
@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!
July 24th, 2014  
@nikkilee I just held down the shutter release button and crossed my fingers! :)
July 24th, 2014  
Wonderful! fav
July 31st, 2014  
Oh my god, I am in awe! What an amazing capture! I love her calm smile. So awesome.
