@supersteph968 All photos are from Google photo library.

[supersteph968]

@DavidSIlvercloud yeah, so???

[DavidSIlvercloud]

@supersteph968 It's kind of a grey area. Notice I haven't monetized the video (I'm an AdSense partner and ads appear on many of my videos) because I don't own the rights to the videos and can't commercialize them. But other uses (personal) fall under "fair use" and it's all quite common. You will notice many YouTube partners use shots/images in their videos too. But I understand where you're coming from. I was a commercial photographer and had my images used all the time too in this way.

@DavidSIlvercloud ahh ok, i understand now, thanks

at :25 seconds in the video...

What is that a photo of, i cant figure it out.

[DavidSIlvercloud]

@APR1125 It's not my photo but I believe it's a long stemmed glass dropped upside down in water and bouncing back up before it tilts and sinks.

[jmalonear]

@DavidSIlvercloud I actually believe it is just a water droplet into more water. It makes the stem shape.

[PimpMyFahrrad]

@DavidSIlvercloud No, this is when you take pictures of water drips. When the first one falls, it creates this column of water - when the second one hits this column, this is what you get.

[SAFENAFE1985]

@DavidSIlvercloud its just a drop of water lol. noobs

[spitshinesofine]

@APR1125 Nah its two drops one right after the other. when the first drop hits the water and bounces back up the second drop hits it. this is why u see the "stem" and why the top looks like a crown.

[TheHalokiller117]

@APR1125 actullay its blue water hitting other water

[daltonairsofter]

@APR1125 It's two water droplets colliding

The pictures are great. It would be nice if you could give us some idea on how to take such great shots.

[DavidSIlvercloud]

@abhishektripathi27 There are some "how to" videos on YouTube. It depends upon the situation. Some new DSLR cameras can shoot up to 60 frames a second so you just shoot and pick a good frame. You can also have an open shutter in a dark studio and fire a flash. Most small electronic flash units have extremely short durations and will work just fine. You can hand fire the flash, in the dark, with the camera set on bulb. Be sure to shut the lens before turning the light back on.

[DavidSIlvercloud]

@abhishektripathi27 A bullet is usually stopped in flight by having a detector fire the flash. This can be a hidden trigger attached to the object, or a sound trigger that triggers the flash when the gun goes off. A 22 caliber bullet travels at over 1,800 feet per second so that is basically instantaneous from a close distance and the flash will go off at the same time as the bang. Some tests are usually necessary. These days a professional quality DSLR and good flash will work.

@abhishektripathi27 Check out this YouTube video... search "Chase Jarvis TECH: High Speed Photography " in the YouTube search box.

[DavidSIlvercloud]

@abhishektripathi27 Check out photron(dot)com for high speed cameras too.  I have mostly depended on sound triggers and Vivitar flashes which are powerful and have a duration as short as 1/100,000th of a second. Outdoors a high shutter speed (1/2,000th) of a second combined with a flash works good.
