High Speed Photography

Here are some of the works of Harold Edgerton for his pioneering work in high speed photography, multi flash and microsecond imagery. Some of his works and of others are as below.

Milk-Drop Coronet


This gives an indication on how fast the film moves.

Bullet cutting through King of Diamonds.


Bullet cutting through Queen of Hearts-Ouch.


Bullet piercing through a banana


Bullet piercing through an apple


Water from faucet


Swirls around spinning fan blades


A few more images are available here, here and here. This one with liquid sculptures here is also very impressive.

wish we could all afford a high speed camera.

nabeel: What you can try is to take a flash photograph of a moving object in a dark room.
E.g. a tennis ball in motion or something more easier to capture would be a running tap or water from the tap cutting through the water already in a container. The possibilities are endless.

Let me explain the pic...spoils the mystery and abstractness of the whole pic...but let me : the curves are those of the chair...the st. lines are those of the patio window and the bottom right hand corner noise in the pic is from the patio door and its door-knob. so lots of merging there :DDDDD
