Ballistics and Water Drops

Many make attempts to capture the impossible. With the advent of Photoshop, this has become much more likely. Photographers and Editors all over the world depict things in "Photographs" that are not truly what one would see if they were at that same place. One brilliant example is Dave Hill's Verizon Ad:

However there are those that, Enthusiast and Professional alike, are looking to capture real moments. Before the "Photograph" was the "Exposure." Those moments can be the once in a lifetime captures, such as that by John Schwartz, or they can be moments in which the Photographer stages, such as the capturing of a bullet. Given the limitation of a shutter, this task is not an easy one. But an Australian Photographer known as Fishbait [Photoforum.com] did that, and in a unique and challenging way. Please enjoy these images of a small caliber pellet going through a drop of water:
