    Very good idea! What did you use to burst the balloon would be my first question?! :D
    I reckon more sharpness would be preferable, but seems like ‘easier said than done’. I’d be happy with it :)

    great composition to capture the shape of the water…yes how did you burst the balloon (and how many balloons were burst in the process!)

    I can’t post what I said when I saw this Jenny but I’m well impressed. Now for the important bit, you have to tell us how you did it. My little one will love this game. :lol:

    Ah now Jenny, you should have posted this in Members’ Announcements.
    Everyone…. Jenny got first prize, and not for the first time, I might add.
    (and she sorted my tripod head too)
    To quote her friend Fozzie –

    Yaaaayy for Shutterbug!

    HaHa! You are all very kind, and Pixelle thankyou you know I am the shy
    retiring type :lol:

    Well you have to blow the balloon up before you can fill it…..I found this out after
    trying for all of ten minutes to fill it!! Tied it to the washing line and set up the camera
    on the tripod and got it ready for continuous shooting, fastest shutter speed I could get
    on the day was 1/1250s Had my sister in rain mac and wellies standing by with a stick and
    a pin selotaped to the end, started shooting while she jabbed away at it, you can imagine
    the splash it made when that ball of water hit the ground…..she was soaked!! :lol:

    Only three balloons were harmed in the shooting of this pic!

    Hi Jenny,

    Great idea well executed and not too much carnage on the balloon front.
    Top marks for getting the sister to get soaked.
    Entertaining thread and good story.

    Well done with the win too.

    Cheers,

    John.
