Wow.  What lens and settings were you using for that?

Thanks.  Nothing special.  These were taken with my old Nikon D300 using the prosumer Nikon 28-300VR lens.  I believe they were all taken at close to 300mm at 1/320th and f/9.

Great shots howard! 

That's really cool

 

Sometimes I don't reply because I have no culture and get bored with artsy stuff. But you get some cool stuff and great pics.

 

His eyes look like black garnets.

Really nice "shots" Howard.

 

Hey.  Ever do any high speed stuff of bullets/shot leaving a barrel?

Thanks.  I only once took the camera to the range, and that was before I started shooting USPSA or IDPA.  I don't think I got any bullets but I did get quite a few with shell cases being ejected and in mid flight.  One day I really need to take a good camera to a match again.

I did this with my cousin in the 80s, it has to be simpler now. We built a small circuit to amplify the signal from a microphone with a 9V battery to trip a flash. We would darken the garage. Count down with hand signals, open the camera lens and then shoot. There were no calculations, we just moved the mic iteratively until we saw the bullet in the frame. Then we would move it closer or further from the gun (subsonic air rifle) until we got the bullet into the frame in the position we wanted. It took a couple days because we did not have a digital camera and experimented with a whole bunch of shots. Once we got it right he spent a lot of time doing it (after I left), knowing where to put the mic for various bullet locations and would adjust a little and take 5 pics per shot or so. Got some incredible pics.

 

 

Nowadays, with digital cameras and computers everywhere, this should be VERY easy to do if you plan it.

Come to our shotgun shoot Sunday...

Cool shot!  Maybe I'll come some other time, have an IDPA match Sunday.

As always I love the pics! I was thinking about hiring a photographer to take some professional pics of my 2 dogs for my wifes birthday or Christmas present. Any interest in doing them howard? Id rather pay a fellow firearms enthusiast than some stranger.
