I guess not everyone has conditions to make such photos, but they are amazing!

Very cool. I agree with @killerjackalope about the strawberry and playdough. I also love the water glass one.

The water glass, raspberry on the tee and the gel, that would be fun to do.

If anybody is interested these look like pellets from a .177 (4.5 mm) caliber air gun.

Here is the wikipedia link too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellet_gun

They are very affordable as are the pellets (ammunition) I don't know all the legalities so check with your local authority on that!

The shooting setup is relatively easy to do,you don't need a shooting range or heavily fortified area to shoot this in, just somewhere with a good backstop or best case, a bullet catch. Something like a oversize piece or two of thick plywood or wood would do too. Obviously please shoot in a safe direction, practice muzzle awareness know what is behind your target and all that good stuff. These things will at least draw blood, or more depending on the caliber. I don't mean to be the mom but I don't want anyone unfamiliar with this stuff to get hurt either. (And I except no responsibility if you actually try this and get hurt or hurt someone else)

I have no idea how the computer( If it isn't the camera's internal one) is used to control your camera's shutter, timing, etc. so more research will have to be done, but I may try this in the future! Thank you to @unixpected for posting this!

Wow! They are cool. I have friends with air rifles...but I imagine it would take while to get a decent shot, once you've worked out the shuter speed.
