Explosive! Spectacular pictures of the moment a bullet shatters food. Don't try this at home... Caters If you have ever wondered what would happen if you shot a coconut, here is your answer... Looking almost more like an exploded loaf of bread than the exotic fruit, the bullet's direction and the energy of the impact is caught on camera. Photographer Alan Sailer uses an air rifle and firecrackers to create these images.

Based in California, USA, the 57-year-old has rigged up a camera with a special flash in his garage using parts off eBay. A normal flash lasts a millisecond (a thousandth of a second) while Alan's special set-up freezes about a microsecond (a millionth of a second). Alan uses a slow shutter speed on his Nikon 40X digital camera and the picture is taken in darkness - apart from the brief moment of the flash. Fired from an air rifle, the pellet or marble travels at 200 metres per second as it hits. A sensor triggered as the missile passes sets off the flash at the moment of the impact. More pictures to marvel at... Creative photos by Chema Madoz.

Split Family Faces

Quebec, Canada-based graphic designer and photographer Ulric Collette has created a shockingly cool project where he's exploring the genetic similarities between different members of the same family. By splitting their faces in half and then splicing them together, he creates interesting new people that are sometimes quite normal looking and other times far from it.

He calls this series Genetic Portraits. (Did you notice that Ulric, the photographer, is one-half of some of these pairings? Update 1: We got in touch with Ulric to ask him a few questions about this really intriguing series (that just happened to go viral). Update 2: What happened after Split Family Faces went viral?

Celebrities Before and After Photoshop

These can give you a feel of what it takes for a person to look beautiful at all times. No wonder we, ordinary people, are left with a great deal of pressure of looking our best at all times, a high goal that is impossible to reach. Impossible even for our God-like role-models. These are mostly used in magazines, posters and given the photoshop treatment from their original source. As you can notice these are small tweaks that were applied on photographs and the end results are astonishing. © gillesvidal - photographe. Stefano Unterthiner Photography : Animals Face to Face.
