The camera, which features a unique home-made flash, is set at a one-second delay.Mr Sailer, who describes the process as 'beyond dangerous', says: 'The special item is the flash. It is a home-built unit based on the design of Harold  Edgerton. The flash is about .5 microsecond in duration and runs at  17,000 volts. It is beyond dangerous, it's deadly.'                          <a href="http://img42.imageshack.us/i/article12991140a9ecc8f0.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/4381/article12991140a9ecc8f0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://img824.imageshack.us/i/article12991140a9ecc790.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/5193/article12991140a9ecc790.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>                          <a href="http://img43.imageshack.us/i/article12991140a9ed1700.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/9976/article12991140a9ed1700.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://img62.imageshack.us/i/article12991140a9eca120.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6926/article12991140a9eca120.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://img227.imageshack.us/i/article12991140a9eca2a0.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/4734/article12991140a9eca2a0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://img827.imageshack.us/i/article12991140a9ecc8b0.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/6302/article12991140a9ecc8b0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://img256.imageshack.us/i/article12991140a9ed3fc0.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/7128/article12991140a9ed3fc0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>The flash is triggered when the pellet from a rifle travelling at  about 200 metres per seconds passes through a laser beam. Its the same  principle as those beams that set off a chime when you walk into a  store,' he added.'The camera is set at one second and an f-stop of 9-13 depending on the  reflectivity of the subject. The flash stops the action. The one second  gives me time to click the camera shutter with one hand while I pull the  trigger on the rifle with the other.'<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
