30 Colorful Shots Of High Speed Bullet Photography
Posted on Jun 11, 2009 | Comments 98
High speed bullet pictures passing through various objects! It is almost impossible to capture a speeding bullet with your eye and the impact the bullet creates is even faster and happens within a blink of an eye.
It will be very much interesting to see how the objects look while breaking and shape it takes after hitting with a bullet.
Here are 30 excellent high speed bullet pictures passing through various objects, captured using high speed cameras.

23 Amazing Pictures Of High Speed PhotoGraphy
Posted in: Digital Pictures • Features
Sure it’s real. High speed photography has gotten attention even on TV shows like Time Warp and Mythbusters on Discovery.
how can you possibly think this isnt real stupid…
even if they didnt put in the hours and hours to get a good single shot there are cameras that take 10,000+ frames a second
@Chris
Somehow I don’t think it’s about gun skill. The gun would be mounted to produce these great shots.
The chocolate bunny shot is awesome!!!
Really, awsome.!
@brickbat
yes i can see the face! its a small clown/joker type of face,, creepy
NAhid says:
“great pictures. i think it is not real couse this kind of camera is impossible.”
Fail
whoever said that this is not real is completely and utterly wrong. this is definately possible.
Omg, I’m kind of stoned right now. And when that first guy said that these pictures are fake, something just clicked. I mean, I know for a fact these are real, but if you just imagine that they are actually faked, its like a million times more impressive. The detail, if that was the case, is so incredible that it’s a mind boggling proposition.
Oh, the photos are real, but many of them aren’t of wadcutters from a firearm.
Those are pellets from an air gun most likely. Look at the skirted projectile going through the single red tube of paint and the blob of orange gelatin.
Great photos still.
NAhid, they are perfectly real. Don’t you ever watch Mythbusters?
“even if they didnt put in the hours and hours to get a good single shot there are cameras that take 10,000+ frames a second”
You don’t need a special camera. Here’s how you do it:
1) Mount gun somewhere and point it at something
2) Build a device that closes a circuit when it hears a sound, and also adds an adjustable delay (it’s really simple, just google)
3) Connect the device to a flashgun
4) Turn off the lights in the room
5) Set your camera shutter speed to something like 10 seconds
6) Adjust the delay so the flash fires when the bullet is in front of the camera
7) Profit!
there fake, you can totally tell by the pixels!
The photos appear to be real to me, and impressive for color and detail. However, as Bob says above, the “bullets” are actually air gun pellets which only travel at about 800-1000 feet per second. Much more impressive would be to catch shots of a high-power rifle bullet which travels in excess of 2,500 or even 4,300 feet per second… this camera would never catch it.
BOB and DAN are correct the first couple color photos seem to be air gun pellets, especially the orange jello picture. The latter half of the pictures seem to be from other sources and look to be bullets and not pellets

ps that pbr gettin shot is alcohol abuse
Like it a lot and has beautiful photographs, it is praiseworthy.
WoW, the photos are really beautiful, you should use them wisely.
Photos are great, go ahead
i see a face in that walnut.
it watches me…
but it has a bullet…
c’est beau btw.
Very beautiful photos, and should be properly and wisely used.
I do not understand whether it is mounted or real gotografija.
End of discussion.
Shots like these can be taken real. See here:

But in fact one can create the shot too. See here:

Both are possible.
Yes, the pictures are cool, but is anyone noticing what an amazingly accurate aim who ever is actually shooting these objects has?
I’m mean it’s freakin ridiculous some of the things he’s shooting through.
Astonishing photos, realy great!!! Please upload more. Thx
It looks fantastic. Great colours!
The photograph of the bullet cutting the queen of hearts in two is incorrectly attributed. It is one that I made and credit line should be corrected.
Thank you.

I can hardly imagine what happens with human body when a bullet goes through it. Speed very destructive thing.
I loved the Chocolate Bunny. Creepy. Sort of like a sick, bad, dream. Even as his brains are blown out, he has a surreal grin. I’d want to club him too.
Maybe there’s a physiological edge…
The US is plagued by obesity and the culprit is The Chocolate Bunny. Even after the shit is smashed out of his face you can still see that stupid grin. Someone who has a real problem… couldn’t help gobble him up off the floor and wall, feel the pain and humiliation of being fat. Still, the bunny would be laughing…….. “inside”.
you saved the best shot for last.
Bravo!
Hey everyone…these pictures are real! I wish all the photoshop shouters would use photoshop before saying everything is photoshop. Photoshop is not that easy to create work like this with so it would still be a great feat. Anyways the “bullets” are really flat head pellets from an air gun as mentioned by a couple others. The other thing you may want to look into is Gamo air guns. They produce high speeds. They have a rifle that shoots at 1800fps. I own one that shoots at 1400fps (model below the most BA model). 1400fps is right there with the speed a .22 cal travels at and faster than most calibers travel at (22′s travel faster due to less resistance through the air; smaller bullet). I think some of the shots are with actual fire arms though, the pumpkin for instance is taking some serious damage….to much for a pellet from an air gun I believe, unless the pumpkin is smaller than it appears. Very nice photos though I think this is interesting to see.
Incredibly, I could not imagine that it is possible to see something like this.
Great photos, givve us more soon. Regards
Great pictures, this is the most realistic view you can get
fabulous photos, The images with the green background are very catchy!
The photos capture a moment that is fascinating to the human eye. It does capture a moment that we would not witness otherwise. Form and shape.
It’s also amazing how there are very few comments here about the inherent violence in these photos, and the destruction caused by bullets that tear at human flesh and the fabric of society, and the fact that these moments happen with great frequency.
We are fascinated by power. And we want to call it beauty, but by doing so, we make violence banal.
Fantastic, I’m really surprised
photos, bravo!!
I am really suprised that some of you think that this can’t be done with a camera. They are very well done shots and much credit should be given to the people who had photographed them.
Beautiful work,
Megan.
I’m impressed. Great shots, pun intended.
Photos are fabulous, the blog is extra and I like the idea about this photo!!!!!
Wow. These are amazing shots!
Are these images made with a timer, or a lot of pics taken at once?
Many of those aren’t bullets… they are air rifle pellets, judging by the shape.
Nice photos, regardless. Wish I had that kind of artistic eye. Problem is that I’m an engineer and focus on details, not big picture.
What fantastic photographs. Would love to try high-speed photography. The colours are just great.
Terrific! I’m very jealous of those images, I wish I could do as well.Those images took a lot of aptitude to create, well done. I’ve bookmarked this site.
Most of those images are pellets from a pellet rifle, not a bullet from a gun.
As a product photographer, I’ve always had an appreciation for this type of photography. The prep time, I’m sure, is extensive though. I’m not sure I’d be that patient
Well done, a lot of nice photos, as I was and I dealt with photography and now I do programming and web site design. Go for the beautiful photos …
Wow these pictures are amazing!
amazing photos that look very professional to me, although i am not an expert in photography. Keep up the good work
