I get to spend my time doing all sorts of cool things. One of those cool things is helping to set up a high speed imaging lab at ASU Polytechnic. We have all sorts of brand new, really cool gear that I am learning from scratch. Things like laser and sound triggers, extremely powerful and short duration strobes, thermal cameras, high speed video cameras, and so on. Needless to say, I don’t know where to start. So I thought I would try my hand at some of the things I’ve seen done by others and compare the results then once I have a clue what everything does I can get a little more creative.
The photo above was made using a flash duration of 1/7500th of a second. The video below, while not the highest quality in the world, shows the same setup in action at 1000 frames per second. Playback of the video is set at 30 frames per second so even though it takes 30 seconds to watch what happens it went down much faster in real life.
Next item on my agenda, exploding fruit. Stay tuned.
Speedy new camera
