Turns out those crazy high speed photography shots you see of bullets shattering things aren’t as difficult to achieve as you might have thought. All you need is about $20 and some brains (aka circuit skills). YouTube user destinws2 shows how its done in this 5 minute tutorial.

High speed photography isn’t quite as difficult as one might think. It may be accomplished simply with a flash and a camera capable of holding open the shutter. Most of these photos were taken in my garage with my rifle setup.

The acoustic trigger circuit kit is available from http://www.hiviz.com/. The kits are designed and distributed by Dr. Loren Winters, a high speed photography wizard who is truly a high speed photography pioneer who has given greatly of himself to introduce students to the wonders of Newtonian Physics.

The music was created by “A Shell in the Pit”. Please support this wonderful artist by purchasing his music. An example of his work can be found at:

Lastly, I’m working on a website http://www.artisticballistics.com. I’m trying to fund my children’s education by selling awesome art created with bullets. It will take me a few weeks to get the site up and running.
