Once the balloons explode, the paint gets thrown in different directions, leaving Oefner a few seconds to capture the moment.\nSee also: 18 Drawings You'll Swear Are Actual Photographs\nOefner explains what he enjoys most about the Liquid Jewels project on his personal website:\n\"What I particularly love about the images is that if you look closely, you can see how the individual shades start to mix with each other,\" he wrote. \"[B]lue and magenta becomes violet, red and yellow becomes orange\u2026within a few microseconds, the paint forms into the most beautiful color combinations and then its gone again. What remains is the capture of that firework of colors, frozen in time.\"\nWhat do you think of the Liquid Jewel photos?
