jun17.jpg - This is my first balloon pop, and I will get better at this. After taking my first shots, I realize the camera was shooting at 1/60s. It needs to be much faster to really freeze the action. So I will probably add a second floodlight (only one light on the right side) on the left, and up the ISO speed to compensate. My camera will only shoot 6.3fps, so I only get 1 frame before the water is almost completely out of the picture.Mods: Removed my hand with the needle to pop the balloon from the shot.

$OK, here's a more instantaneous view of it. I tried again tonight, and added a second floodlight on the opposite side to double the light, then increased the ISO to 2000, shutter speed at 1/2500s, aperture at f10, for some depth of field. This quite well froze the action! Mind you, this shape maintains itself for a tiny fraction of a second. At 6.3fps, there is exactly 1 frame with water in it before I get a black frame with no more water. This time, I used black tape to secure the needle to a straw. It was less obvious, but I still airbrushed it out.Mods: Airbrushed out the straw bearing the pricking needle.$
