EXPLODING WATER BALLOONS

Exploding Water Balloons

Fun stuff :)
This time I tried to capture exploding water balloons.
In the end I had lost count how many balloons I had poked.. hihi...

There were many frustrating instances, of course, where I had either clicked too soon or too late. Like a split second too early or too late.

And here are the results.

I decided to try this after seeing this father and daughter doing high-speed photography capturing exploding water balloons at Taman Rimba Ampang. They were very nice people, allowing me to watch and ask questions. The father actually makes a living as a photographer.


Urgghh.... air tu dah berkecai! Lambat click! Hihi...

Lagi berkecai!


Hampeh.. hihi...


Hampir!! Huhu.... :D


Adoi!


Tu dia siap ader kulit belon.. hihi...


Bentuk dah ok tapi bocor kat bawah pulak.. hihi...


Hmm... cam ok, tapi kat bawah ader kulit belon pecah....

    1. Yes, I can definitely see that.... hihi...

      Thanks doc for the appreciations and questions :)

      buat kat mana?
      dalam bilik air je ke.. kat luar..?
      - Dlm bilik air. Bilik air tu ader 2 tingkap kecik so bukak luas2. Shoot masa high noon so got bright light. Therefore leh set speed tinggi2.

      siapa tukang kemas ? hehehee..
      - Saya le doc. Tang kemas ni yg paling pedih... hihi...

      guna sound trigger ke ?
      - Nope. How to use that? Please teach me!

      flash letak kat mana?
      - Tak pakai flash. Kalau pakai flash speed 1/250 je takut tak freeze letupan air tu. On manual ader shots yg I managed to set the speed sampai max 1/8000.

      multiple shots per balloon ke single shot je?
      - Multiple shots. Used high speed continuous burst.

      Tam Tam tak kacau? :)
      - Mmm... maunya tak. Mula2 sibuk dia so curious. Tapi lepas bunyi kuat belon meletup dia terus cabut... hihi...

  3. hahahhaaaaa!!
    kesian TamTam!!!!

    alaaa..
    bilik air saya burukkk!!
    kecik..

    ada yang guna sound trigger
    guna bulb mode
    guna sound trigger .. device will set off, triggering the shutter and flash unit in response to a sound [ or light for light trigger ]

    tapi kalau tanpa sound trigger pun dah macam ni.. no need lah!! :)

    kalau nak buat lagi..
    kat Rimba Ampang ke.. mana-mana ke ...
    saya rela ikut..
    rela jadi tukang pegang belon !

    2. Betul tu doc.. kesian Tam Tam. I think dia trauma kot. Pas tu pujuk2 dan babap2 dia ok dah... :)
      Don't worry pasal bilik air tu doc. Cause background will be black using a black plastic cardboard. So nak la nampak persekitaran bilik air :)
      Ooo... like that how it works. I need to learn more and use the sound trigger technique next time. Thanks doc for the explanations.

      Wokeh I'll you know. We'll have fun!!! :)
