When it comes to capturing incredible bullet-time photos, no shots are nearly as incredible as Alan Sailer's.
Through the use of a pellet gun, a laser-triggered Nikon camera and everyday objects, Alan Sailer is able to capture images that are mind-bogglingly cool. To make his works as crystal clear as possible, all of his "projects" are conducted in a dark room. This is counterbalanced by the fact that his camera uses an incredibly fast flash that he invented himself.
