The speed of this strobe is amazing. This appears to be the fastest capture that I have seen so far using the Quaketronics flash controller. The lack of mottion blur shows that the flash duration is a short amount of time.

I didn’t know that you could get .22 pellets in green! Kalimistuk says that they come from Prometheus Pellets.

This photograph called “hard boiled egg” by kalimistuk is one of my favorites. His whole High Speed series is excellent. He shows what can be done with nerves of steel, a low-power sidearm, and willingness to clean up some spectacular messes!

Kalimistuk has also measured the speed of various flashes, and successfully modified a flash to make it faster. I will try out his mod, and if I can get it to work I will post it on the Quaketronics web site.
