High Speed Photography – April 6, 1903: Harold Edgerton, father of High Speed Photography. – Edgar invented stop-action, high speed photography helping push the obscure stroboscope from a laboratory instrument into a household item. – His most famous photos include bullets penetrating an apple and a playing card, and a football being kicked.

What is High Speed Photography? – High-speed photography is the science of taking pictures of very fast phenomena. In 1948, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) defined high-speed photography as any set of photographs captured by a camera capable of 69 frames per second or greater, and of at least three consecutive frames. High-speed photography can be considered to be the opposite of time-lapse photography.

Three types of high speed cameras: – Intermittent motion cameras, which are a speed-up version of the standard motion picture camera using a sewing machine type mechanism to advance the film intermittently to a fixed exposure point behind the objective lens. – Rotating prism cameras, which pull a long reel of film continuously past an exposure point and use a rotating prism between the objective lens and the film to impart motion to the image which matches the film motion, thereby canceling it out. – Rotating mirror cameras, which relay the image through a rotating mirror to an arc of film, and can only work in a burst mode.

This one is my favorite because bubbles pop very quick but this technique captured how the object is still in its shape.

I like how the photographer took the images without it being blurred and you can see it very clearly.

Its amazing that HSP can capture the image of both objects before something happens to it.

I like this one too because using HSP, it can take a perfect shot, as if the object weren't really moving at all.

I like how this technique can capture how things starts before it reaches its "destination".

This one is really cool because after the balloon popped, the shape still remains and it looks like that you're holding the water.

Why did you choose this particular technique? I chose this technique because it fascinating how it can capture anything that is fast as the blink of an eye.
