Reminds me of the Yorik speech in Hamlet: "Alas poor Yorik, he dissolved.." or something like that. -tv

Thanks RK. Actually these shots are are taken in the dark, so the focus needs to be done manually. - angioman

Awesome shot...and you shot this with the 85 1.2 which is slow focusing lens.
Great job.

Thanks Sue Anne & Penny. Mikey - this was the second attempt - got lucky! Timing only worked if I was the one popping and clicking the remote. Only hard part was reaching the balloon while still being able to hold the wired remote:) - angioman

Very impressive!! You've got the touch to time this right. How many balloons did it take to get this? Cheers, -mikey

Wow! This is cool! Was this a balloon blow-up?
How did you trigger the flash! Looks great!
