what's the red stuff?
nebarnix (79 months ago | reply)
xenmate: That would be laser-spill from the trigger. Someone find me an interference filter for that exact wavelength and then we wouldn't have to worry about it :cP

So much for "over easy". This one's definitely scrambled! Good one, J.
ke7eha (79 months ago | reply)
I think this is my favorite high speed photo that you have taken thus far. Keep up the good work!

Hah, super shot. Can just see the pellet exiting right.
You should try higher calibre weapons for effect.
nebarnix (79 months ago | reply)
I have a 0.22 at my parent's house that I can probably get away with using in my garage with an adequate bullet trap. I don't know if I should be shooting anything bigger than that in there (totally ignorant when it comes to weapons), but theres always a random hayfield come spring :c)
rickpawl (79 months ago | reply)
LOL, check local ordinances regarding discharging of firearms with in city limits, if you are. Also, the muzzle velocity of a .22 far exceeds that of a pellet gun and the unimpeded round can travel up to a mile, so even in a hay field be careful. But of course, I'm sure you know all this. : )
nebarnix (79 months ago | reply)
Apparently its illegal to be firing a pellet gun within the city limits as well.... That's just stupid.

LoL..this is the incredible edible egg...love it
Michael Durham (79 months ago | reply)
I keep looking at this one over and over again. It is crazy cool.
Are you using a laser trigger for this work? I imagine you have to deal with a delay of some kind? And getting the pellet to pass through the laser must be challenging.
Also, you need to shoot pellets through more stuff so I can live vicariously in your world.

Incridible, you captured it perfectly.
Guilherme Jófili (78 months ago | reply)
Uau. that is great. Perfect shot.
idealys (78 months ago | reply)
your shot are great .. but try to work on the composition: background hiding the bootle neck... ect..
rickpawl (78 months ago | reply)
Yeah Jasper. The image is too centered. And you could use something in the foreground to frame the subject, like a tree branch. And how about something in the background, maybe some ferns or a flock of seagulls or something. Maybe an American Flag. Oh, and always remember the rule of thirds for better composition. Oy...

Hahahahaha you're my hero Rick!
Seriously I think I just laughed coffee onto my paperwork!
rickpawl (78 months ago | reply)
well, as long as the coffee stain was well composed... (sorry) : )

awesome pic!
High Steel Heels (77 months ago | reply)
nebarnix, idealys could have phrased his "advice" better but i think i know what he means. the concept is brilliant and so is the capture - - very hard to do. have you considered how you might try and hide the extras in these fotos? i imagine it would be a bitch and quite time-consuming. i personally spend hours on end trying to make my set-ups perfect and i usually devote one day to the layout and another to the shoot itself. i should start posting my professional work on flickr instead of my collecting insanity! it's the copyright issue that concerns me.

Brilliant photography! I have a suggestion for you if you are interested. Next time you are making spaghetti, Throw it up in the air from the colander and take a picture. It looks like a big floating brain. :)
