High-speed amateur pix of balloons in mid-pop


At last week's FOO Camp (a weekend-long nerd retreat organzied by Tim O'Reilly), there was a workshop on DIY high-speed flash photography, which is used to capture such amazing sights as soap bubbles bursting, bullets passing through glass, etc. For the workshop, they had a group of volunteers pop balloons with pins while the DIY high-speed cameras snapped away. Here's the Flickr set of the results, which are amazing and eldritch.
