We need some of the gun owners from the OT board to look at it.

I think it is a hot spot from the muzzle flash...

Nice spot ... I was there about the same time got on and off the tourist bus to see the city ... stayed at believe it or not a hotel named "Montreal Hotel" had dinner at an outside restaurant right across the colosseum where your GF took this shot.

Brings back memories ... have to do it again

Muzzle Blast its a crappy picture from my phone but you can see the flash and the bullet.

I figured I'd post it here too... It was posted in the watch thread, but I'm sure most of you don't visit that one.

Great shots everyone.

I am a gun owner. Without arguing this to the fraction of a millimeter, my opinion is that if you draw a line from where the rear sight is to the head of the target, assuming that this was a head shot, the white light is way above the trajectory. Drawing a line from where the muzzle is on the picture does not give you a proper trajectory, as the pistol wasn't fired with the muzzle in that position. I think that it's just a light on the range. Also, a muzzle flash would be yellow or orange, not white, and much larger.

No argument from me. I'm far from an expert on pistols. The only reason I thought the light might be from the gun at all is that it appears to be in the center of the powder cloud. My first thought about the bright spot was also that it's just a light somewhere on the far wall.

I just have to ask with the gun shot with the alien artifact,
Did you use a flash?

Thanks Matt; first shooting with my new 50mm/1.4.

Love it!

Weebl · 03-20-2012, 12:24 PM

By the time the case is ejected to that point, the bullet would be downrange about midway. I have watched after firing a bullet do its arc toward the target moving at ~1400 fps. You catch sight of it after about 25 yds.

^^^Wow. First look at that shot and I could feel my eyes react. Like they weren't sure where to focus first. Very cool shot.

Cool camera! You should pick up an adapter for that lens to use on your Nikon. The Helios has a pretty strong following in the Canon world.

thanks, i´ve looking around for an adapter but it seems there is a problem with the nikon F mount, you can either get an adapter without a glass but it wont focus to infinity or an adapter with glass and is a hit or miss on quality..
i will take some pictures with this see how it performs, if i like it, i will order one of both to compare..
