Balloon Chat

Hey, this is my first balloon snap! Here goes...
Camera:
I have been taking a lot of photos lately, so cameras have been on the brain. And there is always at least one guest at a party with a really nice camera (if not a professional photographer). It's amazing how much they connect with a balloon camera. Even making a simple figure that really captures the camera essence is always a crown pleaser!
My ingredients were:
1 clear 5" round
1 white 5" round
1 black 5" round
1 black 6" Q link
1 black 350
1 black 260
1 grey 160

Here are a couple of angles

And here is a mini version made with 260 in stead of 350, and added to a chihuahua on a hair band on the photographer....I rest my case!

Have fun!

Slight difference! :D
Like the way you showed the balloons. I didn't use a link because I only have the bigger ones.
My camera with just 160's, 260's and 350's, it was a fun one to make.
It took me hours to prop it up against the cupboard and the wall to get a good picture ;) Hope everyone appreciates that :) :lol:
I like the added trim work, Graham! Thelma, the Q link isn't necessary, I just like the fact that I can apple twist a Qlink and use the tail to tie it off so no extra scrap is needed.

Oh, and I just noticed what you meant by "slight difference" ;) I have some photographer friends who would appreciate that. Let's see if other folks notice what the difference is

I have spotted the 'slight difference' and it is a change I would do as that is the type my wife and I use :D
I hope to have a go at this one
Mine is un-branded, a cheapo from the market :)
Any others?

Ok, your week is up! And my verdict is...
Stuart! Congratulations, can't wait to see what's next!
This was actually surprisingly hard to judge. Stuart won for coming closest to my photo. But I also liked the details added by other contestants. Graham, I have noticed a lot of puffed 260 trim detail in many of your recent photos. It's really nice touch and I likes that addition to the camera. And Lee, your lens was great! But unfortunately both Lee and Thelma were disqualified for using the wrong brand ;) lol, just kidding! Thanks for playing!

I had not noticed David, off to go and have a look.
Well done to Stuart and all the others for taking a few minutes to join in.
Wow, thanks David. (I thought Lee's was the best camera). I shall get my thinking hat on for the next one (to follow soon). :D
Thanks Stuart
