"For most ballistics applications, a camera frame rate of 100,000–300,000 frames per second (fps) is ideal for capturing the high speed of a bullet. A higher frame rate results in a smoother and more detailed video. For example, a rifle bullet travels about 3.5 meters in 1/250 of a second, so a 120 fps camera with a shutter speed faster than 1/125th of a second would need a frame width of at least 7 meters to capture the bullet in flight."

Camera FPS

It is highly likely that the bullet caught by the photographer was not traveling at the normal speed one would expect.

Based on audio recordings , that bullet was fired at subsonic speeds. An expert (and trainer) on the techniques used by snipers says that the rifles must have used sound suppressors (silencers). The combo of subsonic bullet speed and sound suppressors means that one could not normally hear the sound of the shot and that it would be traveling slow enough to be photographed with normal cameras.

AND, that bullet was not fired by Crooks.
