High speed photography may refer to either or both of the following meanings. The first is that the photograph itself may be taken in a way as to appear to freeze the motion, especially to reduce motion blur. The second is that a series of photographs may be taken at a high sampling frequency or frame rate. The first requires a sensor with good sensitivity and either a very good shuttering system or a very fast strobe light. The second requires some means of capturing successive frames, either with a mechanical device or by moving data off electronic sensors very quickly. Here we present you with a great collection of high speed photography by ” Nebarnix ” . Most of these photos are taken with a special flash unit that uses a high voltage arc in air as the light source. The flash of light lasts only 500 nanoseconds!
