How many large ball bearings fired at a water balloon does it take to capture a high speed shot like the one below?

Quite a few. Sometimes they bounce right off, other times they go in one side and not out the other leaving a rather sad looking leaking balloon spinning in a circle. Dusted of the high speed gear for a play recently.

Nice shot!
Have you thought about filling the balloon with different coloured liquids that do not mix?
That would make it even easier I’m sure….
Oh the mess…
Not a bad idea though – what is cheap and does not mix? Chance plays a reasonable part in getting a decent shot so you need a lot of balloons. Also it has to be pressurised in order to inflate the balloon. A giant syringe perhaps?
