Basically, the flash did not go off.
The balloons were chosen because they were clear.
The girls were playing "Statues' and when I shot the camera was at f/11 and 1/200th/sec.ASA 200
It was not until I started to print the photos I thought that by darkening the print slightly and increasing the red and cyan channels and knocking back the other channels I could give the impression of a greyscale photo with just a little colour.

Nice! The silhouettes are great with the colored balloons! A closer shot of the girl in the middle holding the red balloon would be very nice, too. (The advantage of having an 8mp camera in order to have a greater crop potential.) Shu
