Completely breathtaking that. Some absolutely unbelievable pictures. The one with the pellet is unreal. What I'd give to have equipment capable of that.

I think we should try and replicate that razor blade shot.
Only substitute the razor blade for Coxie's nose, and the pellet for a brick?
Would be cool yes/no?

They're absolutely AWESOME.
This one did it for me though, purely because it's transparent.
I missed that one as I was flying through them at work.
My lord that's just the most amazing photo. Words fail me.
Superb find V.

Be interesting to see the setup, and a bit of a write p on how he did it etc.
My air rifle used to do something like 580fps (feet per second), so fuck knows how he's captured that.

Would be done with a laser actuated strobe. As the bullet passes through the laser the strobe would fire for 1/1000000 (1 millionth) of a second, just vary the delay needed to get the right shot. I'm sure the equipment would be pretty cheap (less than £500)
See, just vary the delay - and the picture is different.
Download instructions for home made strobe photography.
