My sons new camera

[Steel Hayes]

He got some good shots, but still figuring out how to edit.
I was pretty impressed.

A few years ago , at the range , my neighbor took a movie , with his new cell phone of a .50 cal. ball fired by me at 50 yds. , as it flew to the target. He simply put the cell phone in a movie mode , and held it's eye up to the 20 power input lense of the spotting scope , and bang , we could review the ball's flight to the target. Now that was unexpected , at least by this old fart. I just shake my head at some of the stuff can be done , nowadays.

Lots of color and lighting filters to use. It’s amazing to me.
By the way, why do you wear your horn with the nozzle pointing backwards?

What a fascinating modern age we live in.

I shoot right handed, but I load left handed. Easier to tip the horn with my left hand, holding the rifle with my right.
Always have.

was it the actual ball or a vapor trail, I know with the un-mentionable you can catch the flight of the projectile bye watching the vapor trail.

I like it
It’s interesting the color of your shirt changed twice by a setting the camera(I’m guessing).

Actually three different colors. Just noticed that after you brought it up. It is the same shirt in all three as the lower left front corner of the shirt is missing a small piece. Very clear photos.

Great photos!

As for new stuff....nothing beats my grampa's response to the sisters question (for school project early late 60's or early 70's) of whats the greatest invention you've seen in your lifetime. "MAKING ICE IN THE SUMMERTIME"

 

[oldwood]

Appalachian..........I'm in no way an expert on the vapor trails of bullets. The caliber was .50 , with 80 Gr.FFFG , so I have no idea the velocity of the .490 patched round ball. It was a cool clear day weather wise. This situation doesn't compare to an unmentionable .22 cal. long range groundhog rifle I posessed , that had a velocity a little over 4000 feet per second. On a hot humid summer afternoon , at times , a vapor trail could be detected by the naked eye. I just have little knowledge other than what this experience shows.

Just saying, curious that a set up as you mentioned with a camera would capture even a round ball in flight without special filters or what not, I am no photo guru, perhaps someone with a bit more knowledge will chirp in. I do know from long distance shooting un-mentionables at times you can track the bullet from the vapor trail, but the weather conditions need to be correct. Ohh I spell the tag name appalichian hunter, there's another appalachian something here also thats a spelling professor, wouldnt want to up-set him.

 

[oldwood]

I'm no phone guru , and with no cell svc . at home. I use a small flip phone away from home. I have no details of how my phone wizzard neighbor set up his expensive phone to capture the images through the 20 power spotting scope , that day at the range.

 

[appalichian hunter]

so be it.

Several years ago when I had those awesome 20 something eyes,my EX and I was shooting my 50 cal TC Hawkins over a frozen pond the ice was real dark and the ground was covered with snow and sun was real bright,when one of us was shooting the other could see the .490 ball in flight by standing just off the side enough to stay out of smoke.

I,ve tried doing it again a few times through the years but I guess just never could duplicate conditions perfectly.

nice use of the vignette tool (darkening in corners to make center image pop). It's Increbibleto me the post-capture editing programs included with the phone/cameras. If only folks would learn to rotate their images so that the objects are shown in normal viewing position instead of upside down or sideways. It's so easy and simple.
Oh, BTW very nice photos!

I must have missed it. What camera was this? I do a bunch of photography.

 

[Steel Hayes]

What camera was this?

Cannon Eos R100

Very nice. I hope he enjoys it!

I recently purchased a Canon T100. Nice camera for the price but definitely not for professional work. It will do for me. Those pics are a bit overexposed. Have him check his settings and/or put on a UV filter to warm it up a bit.

I have a friend who is a professional photographer, mostly wildlife and B&W nudes.
About a year ago he got one of those new super high end cameras and was posting photos of some Falcons he took in full dive mode - Incredible!
