Bullet Photography

I know this isn't anything new, but bullet photography is always fun to share
These were developed about a year ago in a Strobe Photography lab I took but I just recently scanned them.

dude who's shooting the gun?!!! Dayam...if you can split a card in half...that's pretty damn good aim. Oh yeah...cool photos!

ah you MIT freaks

cool, I've never seen that kind of thing before. cupcake ones are my favorite. I got a little worried when viewing the slideshow and it cut to the shot of the Asian woman sitting there.

Cool! I got kind of scared when I got to #9, but thankfully, it seems she was not part of the bullet series.

I saw a special on high-speed photography on TLC or something a few years ago... it was sweet.

The rifle was on a custom made platform to keep it stable. Once it was aimed, every subsequent shot would be right on target assuming you place the new card in the same spot every time.

imperfections in the bullet will cause a slight deviation in the trajectory.

Really cool pics.

 

[thawolfman]

Good stuff

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

In the summer when it's hot and things are just right you can see rounds going down range, really easy with a spotting scope. Can follow the wake of the round all the way to the target and tell where it hits. Crazy stuff.

I made a thread on this a few months ago, but here's some high speed videos of rounds/actions.

Thanks, nice wallpaper.

 

[SSP]

Awesome!

 

[yakko]

Cool.

 

[Alphazero]

Very very cool. Those videos are amazing!

Bah, that's nothing. Have you ever seen X-ray photography? It takes pictures by the microseconds. That's 0.000001 seconds. We've got some X-ray photography of a munition exploding, you can actually see the casing expanding outwards like a balloon. Now that is impressive.

 

[rudder]

Why would you waste a perfectly good ho-ho like that? Nicely designed website BTW.

Well I never said these images were cutting edge! In fact, these were taken using the same techniques Doc Edgerton used in the 70's when he pioneered the field. We used the same lab and mostly the same equipment (old 35mm cameras, and strobe lights that Edgerton built himself).

Do you have any images online of stuff you did? Cause I'd sure like to see it
