I thought this (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1199149/Super-slow-motion-pictures-soap-bubble-bursting-stunning-detail.html) had been posted already but I couldn't find it for love nor money. It's amazing!

Someone prove me wrong & find it :D

Yes, we were discussing it and comparing with my shot of a balloon bursting.

The bubble shots are amazing, I have to work out a way to do it 'cos they don't make a bang! :(

Ahhhh thanks for that Nigel, thought i'd imagined it :D

And only at 1/500, so easily replicated by any of us.

Say, do you remember that shot of an artillery shell leaving the gun? I talked to my bro-inlaw and he said you can quite easily see a shell leaving a big gun. He also said it was quite easy to see a bullet from a rifle if you stand behind the shooter. Anyway my hope is to test some of this out later this year.

I find this really amazing Paul. I fancy trying something, this might be a good challenge... the bubble i mean, I don't have a gun :D

Yes, if you shoot a shotgun you can watch the shot in flight but no chance of watching it from the side!

surely its not the shutter speed thats the issue, but the frames per second.

When they say slow motion cam and 500th of a second i assume they mean 500 frames per second, not the shutter speed.

we used the casio bridge camera (cant remember the model) at work on the slow mo setting, of some cleaning fluid dripping from the bottle on to a glass work top, then on impact it split into little droplets, they then impacted and so it continued :)

[Jeni]

the article reads as though hes used a standard camera for the shot, as does the fact its taken him a month to do it etc.

heres some more super slow motion stuff, but a video.
