    Sounds fun!

    If I were next to you, I would bring a spoon and a tin can and start banging it until your cam explodes!

    now where have I heard that before! :p

    thanks! it's a lot of fun for me as you can see!

    got to love the toys, keeps me from doing actual work

    thanks man, I've only posted a couple other threads, so you haven't missed a lot ;)

    the drops were with my friends Canon 30D and my Sigma 105mm macro lens
    the other stuff is with my new Canon 40D, 24-105mm lens, flash, and sound trigger (bought as an unassembled kit online).

    what the? I'd loose it and would not be responsible for beating you with said spoon fyi :)

    Now all you need is a High speed Video Camera... And we will watch small chunks of CD flying all over in slow motion... :)

    These are shot with a single off camera flash that is to the right of the camera.

    I've shot some since with 2 flashes, one on either side - seems to stop the action of the balloons a little better, haven't tried with cd's yet

    Thanks in advance and I love your work,

    I am getting into photography more and more as I feel I have the gift for it, but just need to learn more about it, so sorry for all the brain picking , but It means a lot when you answer !

    sure man pick away, NP, happy to help!

    of course, you'll need an external flash unit for this, not the on camera pop-up kind.

    I got mine from here (great service, fast shipping, good instructions), http://www.hiviz.com/kits/sk2.htm
    SK2-BB Sound Trigger Kit with Breadboard - $12.00

    and what I failed to realize and or notice at the time, you'll also need a "pc cord to hotshoe" for the flash to be able to connect it to the circuit. like this: http://www.adorama.com/FAPCHSA.html

    _______________________________

    more balloons! hey, I bought some glitter the other day @ Wally World...that'll be fun to load the balloons and see what happens...then of course I need to try ones filled with water @ some point!!
