Thanks

Yes it was and I'll upload it later

Thanks and I used 1/2500

Actually I didn't use a flash I don't own one I used a shutter speed of 1/2500

Hi-res is up I was using f/5.6 with an ISO of 800 on a canon 50D I was using a black bed sheet about a foot away from the balloon. The only light source was the sun, which at mid afternoon was directly lighting the balloon. I did increase the amount of black in camera raw because some of the background had a very small colour cast

It also took a good few attempts to catch the balloon perfectly

I have a 50D also that I use as a back-up, been shooting it for 3 years, nice camera. Mine has close to 175,000 actuation's on it now and still works.

Yeah I love it and that's good to know because mine only has 20,000 because I've only recently got it.

Well firstly there was a person holding the pin but I edited that out to give the image a better effect. And as for synchronisation, I was just taking the picture at what I thought was the right moment, sometimes I missed, but sometimes I didn't

What do you mean you edited out the person?

Well, when I say person I mean that there was little bit of finger in the bottom of the image after throwing the needle. and I used the healing brush to erase it as I didn't want to crop anything off of the bottom of the image.

No, I just didn't word it correctly, silly me. There was only a little bit of finger at the bottom which I healed out instead of cropping because I thought that the composition looked good from camera.

Done it looks slightly different because of the tighter crop and the fact that I had to re-process it to make the sbs, but I made it as close as possible

Thanks you too... if you've entered :p

Thanks!
