Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. 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.
