i clicked my long time venture photo tonight......."the big drop" again...last time i did it was in 2008 using burst mode of a canon 40 D in 1/1600th of a sec....an easy shot... this time i used strobe light...single click...at 1/200 th of sec to match the max speed of the flash burst.... Elinchrom fx 400 light with snoot on left side... black backdrop...clicked with trigger on left hand and pin to burst baloon on right hand...matching the timing.... concept suggested by Challiyil Pavithran Vipin as a comment in my previos effort("why not try them in a complete black background and light from one side.")..... inspired from Seny P Arukattu's similar photo .... thanks alot for my right hand Akil Musthafa for his patience and effort ..... and Vineesh Venugopal for his lucky presence....my family for the support....my house maid for cleaning up the flooded living room..... success was on the forth trial... with the last balloon
