I appriciate your replies, here is the background as to why I'm askin this question.
I was talking with this girl about photography since it's an interest of mine. I showed her a few pictures I have taken and one of the pictures caught her eye (of me shooting with 3 consecutive pieces of brass flying out of my kimber ultra carry). She said "this picture is obviously photoshopped" and I said "uhhhh, it's not actually." and she continued to tell me that she has a bachelors in photography and that I can't fool a pro.
I told her that I took the picture with my Nikon D90 (which she stated was a bottom of the line amateur camera). She stated that the camera was too slow to take a picture of 3 consecutive brass coming out of my gun and that my camera isn't capable of capturing something that moves so fast, let alone 3 of them!
So, since I know that the picture isn't photoshopped, I know that my camera is capable of it. But she is under the impression that brass flies out of guns at 800fps. If that were the case, I don't think my camera could catch 3 brass in the air.
So I'm making an effort to find out the general speed of brass as it flies out of a 1911 ultra carry so that I can further give her understanding as to how my "amateur camera" caught so much action.
