Macro Photography Rig

[RONIN]

This macro photography rig (http://users.skynet.be/fotoopa/laser_module1_E.htm) is really incredible. The system uses two lasers to trigger the camera when photographing flying insects. The site has an extensive writeup of the trials and tribulations involved in this build. The D100 shutter ended up needing to be replaced by a faster one. Of course the article also has lots of example images (http://users.skynet.be/fotoopa/beestjes/beestjes_page1.htm) .

Wow, that thing looks like something the Ghostbusters would use. Great photos though, but I think I'd rather rely on luck to get some awesome shots than to make my neighbors think I was testing for radon gas. Thanks for the link though. It is interesting.
