High Speed Photography

April 12th 2010 23:15

High Speed Photography is the complete opposite of Time Lapse Photography.
To be used for high speed photography a camera must be able to take a minimum of 128 frames per second and in sequences of at least three. Some modern cameras are capable of much more than this which allows the photographer to capture extremely high speed objects and phenomena which are not normally visible to the human eye, or too quick for the brain to process.

Below are some high speed phenomena frozen in time. These photos demonstrate what we've been missing! The images are sourced from hongkiat.com, view many more high speed pictures here.
