Incredible photos you must see


I went to this site I saw on Fark.com expecting to see the usual photos of bullets caught in the middle of destroying stuff, and sure enough, there they were. Pretty cool stuff, but the dude seems to be just another German guy who's into photography, and clearly an engineer of some kind. But then I dug deeper, and read some of the most detailed, obsessed, and technical pages about modding a camera with lasers and magnets to capture pics of insects. Not just insects that have landed on stuff, or that are pinned to a board - living, flying insects in midair. Sure, most of it's in German, and most of the technical photography stuff went whizzing over my head, but this guy is the hardest of hardcore and his insect pics are gorgeous. Just insane that he was able to pull this off. This is one of them here.

You've got to recognize the skills.
