    Nice One...However it could have been great If you had waited for the water to splatter more, would have given an amazing effect...But even this one's a good one though...

    @Aksveer: thanks for the explanation! So, your image is even more stunning than I realized initially! I supposed the balloon was transparent and the reddish thing was a kind of goldfish... but now I see that what looks like a transparent balloon is actually the water "frozen" in its initial shape with the red balloon collapsed in a fraction of a millisecond. Wonderful capture! :-)

  35. Aksveer (35 months ago | reply)

    Thanks everyone...


    Thanks....
    Well, I did use up all of the balloons my daughter had collected (I HAD to buy her a Barbie doll later). The garden was a mess with all the water from the balloons (my wife went ballistic).... A small price to pay for this shot !!!!..... :-))

    Perfect shot! Love the BG bokeh, too.

  38. naveen_chillar (30 months ago | reply)

    Very nice shot indeed, can you please email me on flickr about the setup... i.e. how did you burst the balloon & was it tied to something from top.

    Would really appreciate.
