I did these photos for this weeks assignment but thought I just had to share them over here.









notice he kept that smile on his face.

Wow fantastic shots, love the detail especially in the last two, very effective. You are very lucky to have such a supporting husband doing his part in these awesome shots.

Amazing. I have always wanted to try high speed photography. And I love that he kept the smile. I have two questions - what equipment did you use, and how did you pop the balloon?

[teedlepeep]

Those are all great !! You make me wanna try that now too ... hmmm doubt mine would be so cooperative... maybe one of the dogs lol

Your husband is such a good sport and between you, you have really made me laught out loud. I bet this was so much fun to do and well worth all your efforts. Brilliant freeze action especially the one to finish off. I love how you captured the water cascading down.
Amazing work Michelle. Thank you for sharing the fun.

Love the new Avatar. LOL

Beautiful work Michelle, I like the sequence of the shots and the way you captured the water cascading down his head. And what a great sport he is, especially if you used a bullet to burst the balloon instead of a pin from behind the curtain. (William Tell aka Michelle.) LOL

Nothing special howbig, I took the pictures outside but in the shade. I used a dark background to show up the water droplets, I set the camera on a high ISO (800) so I would get a fast shutter speed and used continuous shooting. Our daughter was more than happy to hold the water balloon above her fathers head and pop it with a pin.
