I am humbled, amazed, and awestruck by the beauty and the technical expertise of an extraordinary photographer and technician. This man built every piece of equipment, except the camera itself, used to take this shot. It required weeks of planning and work. It involved infared sensors and several slaved flashes (flashes that are controlled by remote from the camera itself), among other things.  

Images like these have never been taken before.  This is a rare look into bat behaviour that even the experts have never seen.

And all I can say is ... wow.

I followed the Twitter link you'd posted -- this is a level of dedication that is literal AWESOME.

Those are indeed awesome shots. Thanks for widening my world today.

One of the joys of the internet: almost every day I see something new that I never even imagined before.
