So you were bored, and you thought that a couple of helium balloons were calling out your name. So you go about inflating all 150 of them, wondering why you did, and still doing it in the first place.


Now, if you think that a bird's-eye-view of your town would be nice, then you might want to hold on to those balloons a little longer. Why? Well, you might want to try what two guys (Stefan and Michel, whose site we also got these pictures from) in Willemstad, Netherlands did: do aerial photography by making use of 150 helium balloons.

How? Just grab a decent (meaning something cheap and disposable, but can automatically take pictures within intervals) camera, tie the balloons around it, and voila! Instant aerial photography without the fuss of a chopper. And how did it turn out? Let's just say this is one experiment that's worth inflating 150 balloons for.
