Description


Look closely please. This is not what you think. I've always wanted to do one of these hi-speed images where you have a bullet shattering an egg, or a water balloon, or in this case a row of pencils. I even borrowed a friend's sound trigger so I could fire off the flash, but I couldn't get it to work. Soooo... I did it the long way, but actually it was pretty fun. I just broke some colored pencils, shaved off a bunch of chips, arranged them on a glass table with a bb-gun, an over-sized bullet and a black background beneath them and shot photos of that. Then I went out in my yard at night and shot a bunch of photos of the exhuast from bottle rockets and composited that into the scene for the 'muzzle blast'. So, in essence this is a fake 'hi-speed photo'.

Ingenuity is the mother of great images! Excellent workaround, I am really impressed and inspired. How to make an image work with the "wrong tools" is one of my favorite endeavors as well.
