An awesome shot (in more than one sense) showing how a bullet behaves when ricocheting. Apparently, they linked the triggers (of the gun and camera), otherwise this would be a very lucky shot indeed. Too bad it isn't available in higher resolution.
Have a look at the rest of his stream, there are some other cool highspeed photography shots.

Interesting! I would have assumed a more specular reflection I guess, but I suppose bullets are not really very point-like ;-)
