Today we take a look at another high-speed shot of a paint ball being shot with a plastic bb.
Materials
A paint ball.
A bb gun.
A stand of some kind. In this case a 2-liter bottle.
The standard black backdrop.
Procedure
Place the paint ball on the stand and shoot it.
Result
I slowed this one down to 25% of its original speed so we could get an opportunity to see what was actually going on. This is a pretty fascinating shot and one I plan to recapture with a faster camera, this would be excellent in the 2-5K fps range. The fluid flow is just amazing to look at, the twisting of the strands before it starts its spin, the splash as the bb hits it. We can tell from the way it spins that the bb just grazed the paintball. This is definitely a shot you want to step through frame at a time to really see what is going on.
