Not Still Life
by Jim Thode

Water balloon pierced with an arrow. The shot was taken an night and I used a diffused flash for the only light source and to stop the action. Timing of the flash was with a switch that was actuated with a sting that was tied to the arrow. Just for the fun of it!

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM
1s f/10.0 at 92.0mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

All of yours are terrific, but this is my favorite. I still don't understand how you did it but it is incredible.

A lot of effort, but the result is worth it. My favourite of the 4.

An amazing image - it's fantastic how most of the water is still in the balloon's shape - very cleverly done!
