Synopsis

This book innovates the art of bullet photography by pairing a dependable spark illumination system with a highly refined camera. The author's optimized apparatus allows for precise timing of the photograph, resulting in distortion-free images of projectiles captured mid-flight. This new technique opens a window into the previously unseen world of projectile movement, enabling detailed examination of the wake patterns and sound waves generated by high-velocity bullets. The author's discoveries reveal previously unknown phenomena, such as projectile acceleration beyond the gun barrel and the varying character of projectile wakes in different media. This book is not only a testament to the author's technical ingenuity but also offers a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts in the fields of ballistics, photography, and physics.
