Martin Klimas Photography: Secret "Dim Mak" Shattering Technique

This brought a smile to my face. I have a set of these exacts ceramic Kung Fu figures above. I can only imagine how many of these poor figures German photographer Martin Klimas had to go through to get these amazing shots. No, he isn't really using the dreaded death touch known as "Dim Mak", but using high speed photography to capture the moment of impact as he drops these figures to the ground. stunning.
