Good shots.

When I saw the "bee" text I was half expecting to see it being splattered by a bullet!

Watto · 17-07-2008, 16:34

LOL thanks for the comment.

wow liking the bullet split in half!

auroan · 17-07-2008, 17:18

How did you time the shot with the camera ?

Watto · 17-07-2008, 18:02

Thanks Peeps.
@ auroan, i use a sound trigger and microphone attached to a DJ strobe. when the mic pics up the noise of the gun it sets of a quick burst of light from the DJ strobe and freezes the image, there is a controller for the timing, i shoot a few bits of plastic to get the timing right then try on the subject. its done in darkness to so you have to have everything set up befor the lights turn out. all i have is a small low powered led just enough to see what where im aiming. the camera is on a long shutter of about 1-2seconds.

auroan · 17-07-2008, 18:16

ah, the exposure and total darkness........ thats where I'm going wrong

mluton · 17-07-2008, 19:20

Very cool - I've got a book on Harold Edgerton's work which is brilliant (rifle bullets through apples - that sort of thing).

The same way i did this lol

no seriously, it was done with a sound controller, Mic, and DJ Strobe, once its been timed its just a case of hitting the target with the pellet.

Assorted F1 cars at Sepang....really ancient digital camera, so hoping for better results at Singapore this year with a new TZ3....oh wait, it's going to be at night.......bummer.
