Aerial view of Saltstraumen Tidal Current near Bodø, Norway
An aerial view shows Saltstraumen, the world's strongest tidal current, near Bodo, Norway, on September 21, 2024. Powerful whirlpools swirl through Saltstraumen as tidal currents surge between the Saltenfjord and Skjerstadfjord. Every six hours, nearly 400 million cubic meters of water rush through the 3-kilometer-long, 150-meter-wide strait, reaching speeds of up to 20 knots (10 meters per second), creating one of the world's strongest tidal flows.

Photographer captures exact moment pellet fired from an airgun speeds through water drop, America - Feb 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by NTI Media Ltd / Rex Features (1571434i)
To Catch A Speeding Bullet
These astonishing images capture a speeding airgun pellet slicing through a falling water drop.
The shots were taken by retired American police officer Dennis Havel after a fellow photography enthusiast bet him 50 US Dollars that it couldn't be done.
According to Dennis taking the amazing photos owed more to science than art, with the process a complicated one.
In the end he built a device that allowed the drop to fall, pellet to fire and camera to flash all at the press of a single button.
The 63-year-old said: "For a couple of years it's been a challenge to capture a water drop splashing, it's very difficult to do because it falls so quickly.
"I've been a member of the Nikon Cafe forum and amongst several of us we developed a friendly challenge to see who could do a better water drop photo.
"I blindly made a statement saying I am going to shoot a water drop with a pellet.
"So I thought about it and constructed a contraption within a couple of days"
The grandfather-of-two used mathematics and physics to calculate the timings down to 20,000ths of a second.
He added: "I'm not an expert photographer - it was more of a mathematics and physics thing.
"A lot of calculations have to be done, it is down to 20,000ths of a second.
"I use infa red detectors so when the drop is released it breaks the beam which starts a sequence in a timer module made specially for this called a 'stopshot'.
"Once the falling water drop breaks that beam, it starts the timer and I've pre-calculated how long it will take to drop 13 inches.
"I have the timer set so it fires the flash a couple of thousands of seconds after the drop is released so it fires when the drop is in the middle of the frame."
"But it is getting the gun to fire at the right time that is apparently the diff...

To Catch A Speeding Bullet
These astonishing images capture a speeding airgun pellet slicing through a falling water drop.
The shots were taken by retired American police officer Dennis Havel after a fellow photography enthusiast bet him 50 US Dollars that it couldn't be done.
According to Dennis taking the amazing photos owed more to science than art, with the process a complicated one.
In the end he built a device that allowed the drop to fall, pellet to fire and camera to flash all at the press of a single button.
The 63-year-old said: "For a couple of years it's been a challenge to capture a water drop splashing, it's very difficult to do because it falls so quickly.
"I've been a member of the Nikon Cafe forum and amongst several of us we developed a friendly challenge to see who could do a better water drop photo.
"I blindly made a statement saying I am going to shoot a water drop with a pellet.
"So I thought about it and constructed a contraption within a couple of days"
The grandfather-of-two used mathematics and physics to calculate the timings down to 20,000ths of a second.
He added: "I'm not an expert photographer - it was more of a mathematics and physics thing.
"A lot of calculations have to be done, it is down to 20,000ths of a second.
"I use infa red detectors so when the drop is released it breaks the beam which starts a sequence in a timer module made specially for this called a 'stopshot'.
"Once the falling water drop breaks that beam, it starts the timer and I've pre-calculated how long it will take to drop 13 inches.
"I have the timer set so it fires the flash a couple of thousands of seconds after the drop is released so it fires when the drop is in the middle of the frame."
"But it is getting the gun to fire at the right time that is apparently the diff...
