1. First, consider buying an ok digital camera:

You need to make sure that the camera supports the "Bulb" function, which lets you keep the shutter open for an unlimited amount of time.

2. You need a good flash (in many experiments I have used a Vivitar Flash). For bullet photography, you need something called a "Microflash", because you need light only for a 1/1000000 of a second!

3. Now, here is the crucial part of the experiment: You need a so called "trigger" that will trigger the flash at the right time!

a. Optical Trigger (Laser)

b. Audio Trigger (Microphone)

c. Contact Trigger (can easily be manufactured with two sheets of Aluminum foil)

Feel free to contact (Contact or dipressl@ipressl.com) me with any questions regarding the triggers!

4. Set up the scene that you would like to photgraph (adjust focus, f-stops, ...).

5. Switch off the lights in the room.

6. Open the shutter (using the "Bulb" function).

7. Action! (Fire the bullet, paintball, or do anything else in your scene that will set off the trigger).

8. The flash will go off (probably not at the right time or maybe at the right time!).

9.  Close the shutter.

10. Switch the light back on in the room and study your captured High Speed Photograph.

11. Iterate point 4-10, until you have the right setup and delays for the trigger to capture the exact moment that you would like to photograph.

12. With some additional little investments you can make professional prints yourself!:

Have FUN!
