I suppose you used infra red goggles so you could see the target? Or was there enough light to see what you were shooting at? Cool, so the shot was taken in total darkness?

I took these with my big boy camera, the 40D. HOWEVER, you bring up a good point...while the timelapse setting would not do me any good (it only takes 1 frame every 1 or 2 seconds), the SD1000 camera does have a high speed function. It can take 60fps @ 320x240...where regular video is only 30fps. For these shots I actually used the bulb setting (manual mode) on the camera. Fire the shutter, shoot the bulb, and here's the 'trick' - I have a sound trigger rigged to my flash unit that firs the flash when there is a noise made. So really then only tricky part is getting the sensitivity of the sound trigger in tune to what you are demolishing :-) Once the flash fires it exposes the action and then you close the shutter.
