Treats under fire!
From archiemcphee:
Photographer Alan Sailer (previously featured here) quite literally shoots various objects with a pellet rifle and captures the explosive moments of impact using a home-buit microsecond flash and high-speed photography.
Laughing Squid recently posted some of Alan’s latest work and we were particularly taken with these photos of exploding sweets. Treat yourself to a look at Alan Sailer’s flickr and 500px pages for many more of his awesome photos.
