Slo-mo stills

These are the amazing images that capture the exact moment a flying pellet comes into contact with its target.

Using an air rifle, a camera and a home-made flash, artist Alan Sailer was able to shoot at everyday objects and catch the moment on film.

Sailer used a laser to trigger the Nikon D40's shutter, while the special flash filmed the action in slow motion - despite the .177 pellet travelling with a velocity of about 500ft per second.

Thats funny, I have a D40 and I cant take pics like that.
Guess I need to practice with better lighting and lenses. Actually, I think I will go out this morning and get some practice shooting my neighbors flower bed.
