I've been trying to come up with fun ways we can use 4K Photography at home. The idea in this post sprang from a video I saw on Youtube;
a fella climbs into a massive balloon, his mate then fills the balloon
up with as much water as possible. The balloon soon reaches its maximum
capacity, then BOOM! The human jello machine explodes everywhere - with
each millisecond frame being captured using a hi-def super slow mo camera.
I wanted to try something similar - but much simpler - with the LUMIX LX100 camera,
using 4KPhoto mode. After five minutes of trying to fit a box of
confetti into a red balloon I was ready to roll. As the camera captures
up to 30 frames per second
I wasn't able to catch the split-second moment that the balloon
exploded (assistance by Hollie's Mum!), but with a few tweaks of the
settings, I'm confident I can get some punchier results next time.
Overall I'm pretty happy with this 4K
Photography sequence, but I'd like to give it another bash, to see if I
can improve the focus, clarity and capturing more key frames. Variables
could be a different coloured or larger balloon, using more confetti, or
even using a different material inside the balloon.

Have you experimented with 4K Photography yet? I'd love to hear about what subjects you've captured.
