Carefully. I've had one shatter during use before. It was coldish outside so we figured that was the major factor, but we had also used it for quite a bit.

Knowing a wee bit about photography, I agree, that is actually quite an awesome picture! The timing of when the shutter was released, the duration it was open, even the stop action of your two students in comparison to the streak of the projectile and the expanding and condensing air all add up to a classic picture!!! That is one that you should have printed and framed. Great shot!! (Yes, pun intended!!!)
