Where did the bullet stop?

Your source pic has the fruits arranged along a diagonal line so your bullet is only piercing the pear which is not that obvious from your image (much too much pear-entry debris), plus the pear-exit debris is clearly not all originating from the exit point. A crisper bullet (with less crisp reflection) would also be more convincing (without the path-blur behind it).

I would like to propose this as an example, the bullet portrayed here was not intended to be a pellet.

this is nice.. GL author

nice...good luck

the big thing to me is that the bullet is off perspective and off the path of the holes made... drawing a line through it gave me an up ward trajectory which then means you should have the bullet slightly above the apple... also far too much entry debris and imo, a bit too much exit as well... but just slightly so ;] good work on the exit debris though looks pretty good. GL!

THANK YOU NATOR

bjaockx, I totally disagree with you' when I draw a line through the holes I created the projectile is in the correct place,besides most always a bullet will start to tumble when it strikes its target or an object. As for the debris well that is no BB shot and please take a look at some of these as examples http://iniwoo.net/inspiration/amazing-high-speed-photography/

nice work!

good work and good luck

looks great good luck

good chop

beautiful

Very nice work! There's a lot going on in the image, but i think it all works very well. Legs and feet seem a bit small.. but great job overall!

I agree, nice refreshing change, good fun idea

Man, this ninja is crazy!!! One of those actions is practically impossible for a mere mortal, imagine all of them...
Are you oriental?

Thanks ponti and barnacle. I'll look into the legs tomorrow. I think the right leg needs a bit of fixing anyhow (the thigh looks as if its behind the lower leg). And, no, Erica, I'm not actually. XD

Compliments for the SBS, entry itself is nice too (perhaps a biiiit less motion blur, but that's up to you). Good luck!

I love ninjas.. I mean the art.. hehe.. my all time fav ninja is Batman..

I can (Slice a watermelon in mid-air? Break a plank of wood with your foot? All at once??) but cant catch the firing arrow.. didn't tried yet.... But always likes to do something like that..... And can challenge you that i can do two of them at once................... Want to challenge me.....

really good effort... both on the entry and sbs... well done... jus to nitpick, i wud have used match colour for the wood pieces coming out of the wooden plank... now the colours are diff...

edit: much better author... i like the way you took the suggestions...

Thanks for everyone's input! Will see what I can do. Oh, and, Anoop, I'd love to see a YouTube video of you sometime!

EDIT: Made suggested changes: got rid of the blur trail on the watermelon, which was perhaps a bit much (thanks Wazowski), enlarged the right foot a bit (thanks, Ponti. I tried enlarging it more but then it set the other leg out of proportion and the layers were all getting messed up. =.=); fixed the color of the splinters by adding a the texture of the wood to it (thanks closedeyes). Look a bit better now?

yes we all would love to see it anoop.. I can do all those 3.. but unfortunately I can't record it as its all in my dream.. :P hehe..

Try putting a camera under your pillow.

LMAO!!! freakin awesome ninja!!

i like the ninja, great action Author. Good luck

agreeee....... but u have to bet me... author.. (take a look at my album before bettting.....I think I am that kind of freak and I can do that..... LOL)

nice idea author.. but you won't be able to see me as ninja.. coz if you can see a ninja, then he is not a ninja..

Oh sweet, Anoop! Saw your pics! Now just take a picture doing two of the above things and I'll believe you. And good point, iquarishi lol.

bullet is big ................i think

Thanks ndosanjh, I have reduce bullet size

Pretty good result! It's personal, but maaaybe I'd choose a bit other color for the background (or maybe a bit lighter in the middle), so that the image will be more spectacular. Did you also try to keep the remote without blur? Perhaps that'll give even more the highspeed effect. Good luck!

Edit: new background fits better imo

Thanks wazowski , changed background color and remove blur from remote.

great entry ! good luck

Excellent work author.. this is extra ordinary realistic... the only thing I want to say is the bullet to be a little smaller and rotate a little downwards ( may be 4-5 degrees) and move down a little... IMO... GL

Anoop thanks for comment and suggestion. Made some slight changes.

Very nice job author...I hold my vote till now,u made some nice improvements...good luck

Very well done...but the idea just seems like a bit of a duplicate from the tutorial...

i hate it when the remote broke! good one here!

Very nicely done. Great job on the fly-out pieces.

nicely done. great effect.

agrees with gamemaster. It's great you duplicated the tutorial but you did just that. It's too late now but I would have used something like an iphone or some other electronic device so it's not so much like copying the tut.

nice work

very nice!

! I also can hear the strike sound!

great idea !

They shouldn't have the blur effect to be the correct high speed motion photography

There is not blur effect on any item Langstrum.Motion blur is apply-ed only on trails.Pins,and bowl are without blur.

nice idea indeed Author. I am liking this contest

Very impressed with the creation of the ball in your SBS. Nice work!

nice work....

very good

in high speed photography you would not get any blur from an object unless it left the focal point of the camera. there would be no motion blur indicating direction of motion, nor would there be ghost objects indicating the motion either... high speed photos pick up a fraction of a second which unless the objects are moving at the speed of sound (roughly 340.29 meters per second), then they would be clean crisp objects. just suspended in a frame of their animation... GL!

Looks on theme to me. Good thinking!

Nice idea!... But, I think that if eagle's head was a bit down looking at its prey...

the bunny's on diet? lol nice idea!

Nice work.

the bunny is funny with the wide eyes! i don't believe that he is running though, looks to me more like he is hopping... rabbits run FAST and they are really close to the ground and stretched out while they are in a full sprint... i would take a look at some images of rabbits at full speed... great work though! GL!

nice work.... agrees with erikuri about the head...

Agrees with bjaockx.
