Sound trigger for high speed flash photography, part 9

Some experiments with water filled balloons (about 100mL of water).  My niece was popping the balloons for me this time.  The SB-25 flash gun was set at 1/32 power.  The camera was set to f/10, ISO 200.

I am out of balloons now.  The dollar store is just down the street, but before I take any more balloon shots, I need to think about a different backdrop.


Balloon placed slightly on the side.  Notice the crown of water formed at the bottom.
