The things you do on weekends

Everybody does something on the weekend. Some sleep , some work, some visit family, etc.

This weekend I kept myself busy by rigging a whole contraption in my garage. The idea was to photograph water filled balloons as they exploded when struck by a dart or a projectile (in this case a nut fired from a catapult).

As you can imagine , this a difficult thing to photograph. Timing is paramount.

Below is a few shots of what can be done with enough time and preparation. It took me all of saturday afternoon to rig the setup and the first photo was taken at about 7pm.

This weekend I will attempt it again with even better timing and bigger nuts! see if we can make a big splash.

When I succeed I will post again .
