EXAMPLE: Killing (Ballons) In the Name of Art

NPR's Fresh Air recently featured a photographer named Edward Horsford for his high-speed photography work with water balloons, in which he would pop the balloons and then photograph them right after the gory event - all by himself.

He uses background colors that contrast the color of water in motion, and a flash to light up the water.

Samples from his Flickr page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/edwardhorsford/page2/)
He's disabled downloading and directly linking to his photos, so the best I can do is provide links.

Creative Light provides a good technical article on the methods he uses.
