                We need a longer flash delay for the honey, in order to get more of it out of the balloon. We should also get rid of the reflection from the background, by putting up black construction paper. Try to get the extra hands out of the picture by using a pole. Finally, increase the amount of air in the balloons to ensure that the flash will go off.

                The same setup was used, as for the black and white pictures with a change in the aperture to 4. Took various photographs, where only the apple sauce and  chocolate pudding balloons produced no flash. Because of clean up problems, we decided to use a spray painted black box to take pictures in, where a Plexiglas was placed in front to prevent flying food.

                Used a box setup, to reduce clean up problems. Only soap balloon caused no flash, out of the other 8 pictures. Agreed to only develop negatives, the edit on the computer using Corel Photo Editor.

The only improvements we believe we could make are that we could have used a less concentrated flash, and adjusted the flash to focus on the balloon directly.
