Faster than a speeding bullet

Thanks Clare – been meaning to do this one ever since I saw the potential in a flower-vase lying at home – glad I was able to follow through today.

Thanks so much Jay – for the great comment and the fav!

Thank you Nathalie! Nice to hear from you.

LOL!! Thanks Caroline!!
What patience? – all over in 1/180th of a sec.

Thanks Jennifer!! Slightly different – but I had to try the cliche shot first (making a collection of them).
Thanks for the fav too!

ROTFL!! Took 10 shots of this particular object and have 6 keepers. It starts becoming a rythm once you’ve done about 10-20 and so with some objects have 100% keepers.
Almost all the effort here is in the set-up and getting the lighting balance right – after that – it’s 1/180th sec at a time.

Thank you Mark!!

LOL! This was cos it reminded me of that famous shot of a bullet slicing through a card taken by Harold Edgerton who pioneered high-speed strobe photography.
So glad you love this!

Thanks Shelly!
I have most of the info on the previous shot – but sure, ask away – be glad to go into it in more detail.
Flipped it when I saw it looked like a bullet. Till then I’d planned to “Ctrl+I” this pic right from when I shot it.

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Thanks Wendi – it’s funny how the mind does work though. I’d had these shots in my mind months ago, it was great to finally take them and see them.

Thanks for dropping by Ann – glad you liked what you saw!

Actually a part of a shoot where I have many more – I’ll post perhaps a couple more – before it gets too boring for everyone.

Thanks Micklyn – initially had wanted to process it with inverted colours. When I saw it on the computer I straight away saw the parallel with the bullet shot.

Awww – thanks so much Ingrid – I just stand with the remote in one hand and keep shooting, it quickly becomes a rythm and that’s when the keepers ratio increases.

That means so much to me – Thank you for the inspiring comment and for favouriting it.

LOL! Yes it kinda does have the same effect (just a 1000 times slower).
You should try this – it really is great fun!

Thanks Brigitta – I would never get a chance to do the bullet shot! I better be satisfied with this one – :-)

LOL! It was the rain and me wanting to ‘do the cliche’ lemon shot. It took so long to get the set-up, I had to do a bunch more!!

Thank you so much Wayne – you’re too kind.

Cheers Pete! Glad you like the series!

I know these are not your kind of pics – so I’m really thrilled to hear you say that!

Thanks Victoria – another one of those weekend experimental shoots – glad you liked it and I really do hope you try these soon!

Cheers! Thanks for dropping by and commenting!

LOL!! I would love to get spoilt this way more!!!
But I can’t enter more than one pic into a challenge – can I?
