Hormel SPAM Verses a 22 Cal. Hollow Point
« on: May 05, 2006, 06:10:31 AM »
This is what happens to a can of SPAM when it is hit by a 22 caliber hollow point bullet.  This series was taken in the fall of 1990 for my advanced photography class.  These pictures were taken in absolute darkness with the camera's shutter forced open.  After the bullet passed through the can it impacted two sheets of aluminum foil, creating an electrical connection which set off a camera flash that exposed the film for 1/30,000 of a second.  Each picture is of a different can of SPAM.  The last picture appears to be a double exposure; sometimes the aluminum foil would rebound and set off the flash more than once.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......S PAAAAAAAAAM!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Cool pics.

I think the 44 would vaporize the can and the spam, but it would be cool to see
