Introduction

The goal of this project was to photograph five water balloons popping at once, in order to get an image of five rings of water (like Olympic rings). The challenge of this project was coming up with a setup that would allow us to pop all five balloons instantaneously. We tried several different setups before we settled on one that worked. We did finally succeed in getting a photograph of all five of our water balloons popping at once.
