Using darts on water-filled balloons is an inexpensive yet creative approach to photography. I once had a keen and adventurous spirit in experimenting with such techniques close to home. Recently, I revisited a portfolio from years past and realised that my photographic pursuits have become increasingly rigid, focusing solely on landscapes and sunsets. This realisation is troubling, as it suggests a diminishing willingness to explore new artistic expressions.

Joel has been inquiring about our potential retirement destination. However, we shall not be retiring for at least another twenty years. Time, indeed, passes swiftly.
"Zero Day" on Netflix was quite a good watch.
Amazing clicks, Loved it
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and creative photography project! Bursting balloons make for such dynamic images, and it’s great to hear you’re reflecting on your artistic journey. Exploring new techniques can definitely reignite that adventurous spirit. The Panasonic G9 is an excellent choice for capturing those moments! As for retirement, twenty years may seem far off, but it’ll be here before you know it! And I’m glad to hear you enjoyed "Zero Day"—it's always nice to find a good show to watch. I’d love for you to check out my new post!
ReplyDeleteThese are fun! A great photo project.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to do
DeleteVery interesting and creative. I like seeing the dart break through in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteBoys share the same preference
DeleteInteresting effects!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome, Roentare! The last one looks like a fuzzy green fish with yellow lips and tail. 😂
ReplyDeleteThis is a way to remember the younger self's motivation
DeleteAll of them are beautiful. I couldn't decide which one to choose. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteA hug :)
You are most welcome
DeleteNah.. it need not reflect a diminishing willingness to explore new artistic expressions. It may well reflect a maturity in life in general - a search for peace, natural wonders, nature's colours, climate change and environmental issues. Younger men seem more fascinated by excitement.
ReplyDeleteYou always have a good perspective in life
DeleteFotografías realmente creativas y muy atractivas visualmente.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo.
At least it is appreciated by my blog world
DeleteDelicious
ReplyDeleteIt is very cool
DeleteEspectacular serie. La última fotografía es impactante tomada en el momento del impacto y por el efecto visual que causa en el globo.
ReplyDeleteThe point of impact
DeleteYou are right, when you are younger you experiment with many techniques, which would not be bad to repeat. And surely even with better results.
ReplyDeleteA very funny shots
It used up the whole afternoon
DeleteDice mucho de tu creatividad
ReplyDeleteThis is a common way to do high speed photography
DeleteGreat experiments!!
ReplyDeleteBut also your landscapes are wonderful!!
Needs a break from landscape stuff

...I wouldn't know where to start doing this!
ReplyDeleteVery clever and I like the sunglasses on the balloon.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun with balloons and cameras. The photos are captivating requiring close examination.
ReplyDeleteSunsets are too easy. Yet to try the water-filled balloons though.
ReplyDeleteInteresting and funny!
ReplyDeleteI usually leave my shutter on a fairly high speed so I can instantly catch things before they're gone. It's good to experiment as you've done here. This can give you ideas for more normal shots. I really enjoyed these.
ReplyDeleteI use high shutter speed for anything to do with action photography
DeleteBoth the experiment, and especially your photos, are fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are amazing and yes we do indeed tend to take the same photos all the time.
ReplyDeleteThese are really fun and colorful and so different from what you usually share. I enjoyed the series.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous shots!
ReplyDeleteYou have caught them well, super shots :-D
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous shots.
ReplyDeleteUna técnica que pienso sea necesario un ayudante con puntería que explote los globos.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Yeah, hard to do it alone
DeleteWow, what fabulous shots. I want to do this.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. ☺
Oh wow; these shots are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThat is so interesting.
ReplyDeleteMe encantaron tus fotografías, me parecen muy artísticas. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. And while I understand what you are saying, i do think the landscapes and sunsets are pretty gorgeous and need to be captured too...#Waterthursday
ReplyDeleteAh! The joys of youth and keen spirit of experimentation and discovery :-) Thanks for taking part in the "My Sunday Best" meme.
