Firearms, in super slow-motion.
I know that firearms are loathed by many as the source of many of the world’s ills, and personally I don’t like them either. However, when you put something in front of a super-high-speed video camera, it often takes on a strange kind of serenity and grace in its operation - even if its operation is firing a projectile at several thousand feet per second.
I find slow motion photography hypnotic, because it gives you a chance to see action and reaction which your eyes and brain would otherwise have no chance of capturing - and it then makes me wonder what else we often miss because we just can’t see it. The growth of flowers and plants, the way they seek out the sun (very clever), the progressive moment of ants, the tides, the phases of the moon… It’s real food for thought.
Anyway, enjoy the super slowmo eyecandy.
