I keep trying to try shots with water and a pellet and here is why I don't think I will ever get a good shot.

 

The beautiful water patterns of falling water become a blast of mist when the pellet hits. The water is milliseconds and the the pellet is microseconds.

 

There were some beautiful photos published recently where the target was a water drop. I liked the photos a lot, but saw that the pellet had to be going much slower than a "typical" pellet. When I contacted the photographer, he verified that the pellet was about 100fps rather than this pellet which is going at about 800fps.

 

I will keep playing with the idea, but am dubious that I can get it to work.

Some more water stuff. Manged to avoid electrocution.

 

This is a shallow tray of thin plastic that was the blister pack from a set of Christmas globes.

 

I keep too much stuff.

 

But it gave me two views of the (pointed tip) pellet blasting through water.

This is another piece of garden stuff that has been sitting around since summer.

 

Cheers.

michael andretti just moments before he crashed his brand new kraco racing march 88c that had fewer than 50 miles on it.

 

he had tried to go through turn one full throttle.

 

it didn't work. he crashed at at least 140mph. the car was written off. he was unhurt.

 

the next frame on the roll was a blurred shot of the sky. i had hit the ground. he hit the wall about 30-40 feet from me.

 

behind me was a large metal sign advertising something. in it were stuck numerous pieces of the car.

  

SPEED IS... when you drive your Subaru so fast, producing a mud-splash that fly several feet in the air and landed several feet away... on your fan’s faces!

I went down to Laguna Seca late last month to check out the Speed Ventures track day and Radical Sports car and EXR races. I took a bunch of photos digitally (to be posted shortly), but also brought along a new-to-me old film SLR; a Nikon F-801s. I thought this was supposed to AF with all of my Nikkor lenses, but it wouldn't work for me; so pardon some missed-focus shots; I had to do it manually. If R1 is in the image name, it was taken on Agfa Photo Vista 200; R2 was Ektar 100. Taken with one of the following lenses:

 

Nikon 24mm f/1.8G

Nikon 50mm f/1.8D

Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II

Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR I

 

Most of these could be improved in Lightroom or whatever, and I may do that eventually, but I'm posting these raw scans as-is, because that was the point of shooting the film for me, and I'm spending plenty of time in LR for the digital photos anyway. ^_^

First attempt at capturing water splashing out of a glass using high speed photography.

Used make magazine high speed photography controller, custom rolling table and sound trigger. Flash was reflected once and illuminated the back of the set.

Base of glass was problematic so the image was cropped.

August 27, 2018--New York City--Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signs an emergency Executive Order today allowing the operation of speed cameras to operating within New York State, and in particularly in New York City, that will go into effect September 4, 2018 which is one day before most schools open. The executive order permits the New York State. Department of Motor Vehicles to work in conjunction with law enforcement to issue tickets to registered vehicle owners who are caught on speed cameras for alleged speed violations. The Governor is joined by Chief Counsel Alphonso David, NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson, and Amy Cohen, the founder of Families for Safe Streets.(Kevin Coughlin/State of New York)

Another try at a skipping pellet.

 

Better.

  

In Harbor City, they are called speed humps, not speed bumps. Well, if the sign says so, I guess we just have to

Computer crashed, so on the last day, I had to go to the archives

I was after a pan shot. This was the closest i got.

In production from 1926 to 1930 the Speed Six, introduced in 1928, would become the most successful racing Bentley ever.

Wanted a different shot actually. one that the camera would be inside so the whole front windshield was captured. But i couldnt avoid the shake. This turned out pretty cool for me.

A coworker gave me these today. She told me several times how thick the glass was.

 

I agreed. And so did the pellet. It is scattered all over the place, but did destroy the bottle (eventually).

 

I've spent the last week or so moving my high speed setup to a new dedicated location. It works just the same and I now have my workbench back.

 

So I spent the weekend catching up on a lot of little tasks.
