- Sc0rian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sweet as
- tarun88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very good.

- op12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0somebody should prank call the hp guy - you can see his number on the business card
- CaptSnuffy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the chalk is awesome
- puneypunk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0love the chalk, in fact its now my desktop

@ 600 fps and a shutter speed of 1/4000th, the bullet would still have traveled approximately 1.8 inches in the frame. So, either the bullet was fired more slowley, or a shorter duration flash was used in a completely dark room. If it were the latter, he could have held the shutter open longer and exposed the frame with the flash alone (higher intensity light or ISO value to compensate for the increased speed). - Jeppy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is some cool looking stuff...not really something for digg.com but it's cool.
+digg - pmilg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very cool, wonder how long the exposure is?
- theonlybigboss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so ***** awesome
- japer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's interesting to see, in some photos, that the projectile is no longer parallel to the ground. Its course has been changed simply by hitting somthing as slender as a piece of paper.
- Zeerus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love the chalk shots, the exposure had to have been extremely short to get all that detail in there without any blur
- EvilBadger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The department of defense card is interesting.
- settsu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dnordbak beat me to the point, but is there a reason you posted 2003 and not 2005?
Were you in that class?
Personal preference would have been as good a reason as any, but at least it would have been more interesting than just a "Cool Link".
I'll just pretend that perhaps it was a statement on Digg and the seemingly exponential growth of old and duped "news" being posted.
BTW, I dugg it. ;-)
Comfort (Inn) is now my desktop. Strong visual metaphor, intentional or not. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very cool
- psocket, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@pmilg
If it is a Nikon D100, then the exposure isn't any faster than 1/4000th of a second. Neat to see with off the shelf equipment too. - zenghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0reminds me of the korn video....awesome...+digg.
- YuleLogger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow! You have to be good to pust the button just as the bullet hits the card! ;-)
- dreadlock7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0pretty sweet in the chalk department.
I was gonna give props to the sharpshooter but they probably just had a gun on a stand.....cheaters - riddlebox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0JASON SHANNON* sorry for double post
- KlipschFan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Golden Earring - Cut - 1981

- Jolene, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice, +Digg.
- mathie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, cool, do they have videos?
- loulou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very nice
- Lorphos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+04 second exposure as can been seen from the exif information.
The (very) brief flash freezes the image in time. - EvilBadger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0or the US Gov card rather.
- hyperation, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that is some good camera.
- GTAcrimelord, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0And to think, this whole time I've been using scissors to cut through things like playing cards. Forget that, I'm going to the pawn shop right not to pickup a Glock.
- M3Parker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very cool!
- ghettoyi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what's a deck of cards doing in a lab
- Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome shots

- wvwwvv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0+Digg, very cool pictures
- zenkenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Doc Edgerton is one MIT's old school hackers. I met him when I was 10 and he also took the time to explain how they do those bullet photos in detail. R.I.P. rnrnrnhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Edgerton
- Killerah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0+digg, that's so awesome.
- riddlebox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The Jason Shanning lives in Greenfield, Indiana. haha thats like 15 miles or less from my house. I wonder if he knows that his ID is no more :D
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the ammount of work that gets done at MIT interests me..... lol

Flatline - dillitante, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This is neat, but... looking at these photos I was a bit suspicious. For instance, how do the particles of the playing card actually preceed the bullet itself. At first I thought they were fakes, then I realized that he shot this with a Nikon digi SLR and a flash/strobe and not with high speed film "movie" camera. So, therefor the bullet must have been intentionally fired at a very low speed. Slow enough to capture on a camera but fast enough to penetrate the material used. This also explains the shots that show the bullet actually tumbling in flight. So, it is actually quite an accomplishment technically speaking and it is cool but at the same time it was rigged a bit if you know what I mean.
- conigs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0OMFGLMFAOLOL 2003! teh suckxorz! OLD/lame/dupe/apocalypse!
just kidding.....
These are some fun shots!*
*horrible pun intended - joel2600, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0awesome pictures, but I would not want to be the one responsible for giving a gun to an MIT student for an experiment.
- quaffapint, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Old, but still quite awesome...
