Yeah, the problem with high speed is normally artificial lighting isn't sufficient (as someone "less than an amateur"), so it must be outside (and today was cloudy). I'm not particularly equipped for this, and didn't have a tripod available, so I had to use my car to keep it steady. If I had enough light I would definitely do this indoors with a solid backdrop, no wind, i.e. perfect conditions, and also with the camera further back to give the it a chance.
The bigger problem was that the camera was too close and had only have 2-3 thousandths of a second to catch the bb going by. This was just a test to see what things needed to be changed in the future, although I did expect it to go better. Once I go home, I'll have a much better setup, and a bit more time to set everything up.
