SHOOTING A WATER DROPLET

Former engineer- turned- photographer Alexander Augusteijn used a highspeed camera to take stunning images in the blink of an eye — literally. He has recorded the moment a gun fires a bullet straight through the heart of a falling water droplet. The whole process, which took just 28 milliseconds from the moment the gun was fired to the time the shot was taken, was perfectly engineered to make the image as precise and uniform as possible. Augusteijn took up photography in 1976.
