Radical Radish
So.
Since my last upload, somebody discovered my Flickr site and it all went viral.
Quite a strange experience and I have to say, very stressful. All sort of newspapers and magazines E-mailed me and wanted permission to publish the high speed photos. Which I gave.
I've build a new flash. Smaller. Brighter. Still just as fast. learned about triggering. Small clue. Use photodiodes, not phototransistors. The setup now triggers always.
So, enough navel gazing. Bought some targets today. Radishes were one. Early shots looked promising, this was best of six.
Using hollow point ammo. New rifle, higher velocity. About 800fps measured.
Careful eyes will see to the right the collar of the pellet has been peeled off by the impact. Everyone else, just look at the purty pikture.
