Just playing around with motion blur.  For the realists in the group, yes,
there is a spent cartridge in the chamber.

It's a nice looking image, but real motionblur doesn't look that way. 
It doesn't leave a trail like that.

How did you fire that gun?

I used the motion blur from MegaPOV and then added a non-blurred bullet to
the end of the trail.

That's not really realistic, but who cares.
Actually I was asking how a gun like that could be fired :-)

I like the quote (and the pic BTW).

Reminds me of a Graves poem:

In Broken Images
Robert Graves

He is quick, thinking in clear images;
I am slow, thinking in broken images.

He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images;
I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images.

Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance;
Mistrusting my images, I question their relevance.

Assuming their relevance, he assumes the fact;
Questioning their relevances, I question the fact.

When the fact fails him, he questions his senses;
When the facts fails me, I approve my senses.

He continues quick and dull in his clear images;
I continue slow and clear in my broken images.

He, in a new confusion of his understanding;
I, in a new understanding of my confusion.

Oh!!!  It couldn't be fired.  I started with just the bullet and have been
building the gun around it.  Haven't got to the firing mechanism yet.

I like the poem.  Saved it to a text file for future reference.
