Thank you, and thanks for the idea. I made sure everyone knows it wasn't me that came up with it originally. I've seen videos on how to do high speed photography and a lot of them include timing circuits and such. This is just simple hand-eye timing (and luck), a process I may never have thought of on my own.

Sure, practice makes perfect but, unless you learn from your mistakes, you are only perfecting your ability to fail.

Thanks for sharing these and the set up, I have done the pin into a water balloon, this takes it to another level. :judge: Well done.

I'm glad this got revived. I still love these shots. I'm wondering though... Just how many balloons were harmed to make this series? :woohoo:

Very good and imaginative. I don't know that I would have ever thought to do something like this, but maybe it will lead me down a new path, who knows.....

Very cool... but I had $10 on the balloon winning. Couldn't pass up them odd!

But you said the balloon won a few times! Where's my winnings?!?! :o

Total balloon winnings: 7 x $10 = $70
Total balloon losses: 6 x $10 = $60

The final total of winnings, $70 - $60 ($10) was lost in overhead costs of balloon purchase and cleanup. You know how the red tape goes...

Sorry bud :(
