Cool. I didn't see that group when I searched around. Definately will invite him - he has some really good images.
I also wanted this group to highlight Doc Edgerton's work, as he was the biggest inspiration and influence for every HSP photographer out there.

Hi Russ,
Those shots of the playing cards are great. Edgerton would be proud. You should upload those as well.

Thanks spyzter, I am not happy with the playing cards shots because the pellet does not show up very well. I think the cards reflected much more light than the pellet, and so the pellet gets "lost" during film processing.

Thanks patisfaction.
I used B (bulb) setting on my camera and shot the bullets in a dark room. An infrared trigger set off the strobe unit which made the picture.
Even the fastest shutter speed (like 1/8000) is too slow. In order to freeze time, you'll need to use flash.

hey, i took a high speed photography class at my high school, and got really interested. The class is over now, but my teacher still lets me take photos with the equipment, and i also take pictures at home with my homemade triggers. the flash i use is from a disposable camera, hacked to be used for high speed photography.
oh, by the way, i take my pictures in a dark room with about a 2 second shutter speed- the flash is what exposes the picture. i'm not sure if that's how everyone else here is doing it, because i'm hearing talk of "fast shutter speeds." this could be naievety or a different method- let me know.

idaedheloth, I capture shots in a similar way, but instead of using a disposable camera, I use a proper flash gun, with a very fast quench. I havnt posted any high speed stuff recently, but tomorrow I get my new camera, and I have borrowed a strobascope from school, so I should have some new shots about soon.

I also use a real flash (vivitar 283) at school, but at home, a cheapo disposable camera flash does fine. In fact, most of the photos posted in this pool were taken with the cheap flash.

Hello,
finally managed to sign up for flickr. I'm doing HSP with a friend since 2004 and did hundreds of shots (literally). I added some images to this pool and hope our work qualifies for the group. We try to shoot in the spirit of Doc Edgerton.
As we live in germany, the only weapon we are allowed to use is a standard air rifle with a maximum velocity of 145m/s. So we came up with different experiments including free fall, sledge hammers, golf clubs etc... Every now and then i will add some new pictures.
We also have a website, but i will keep it secret for another month or two. At the moment we have a bandwith limit of 20 gb/month and don't want to be slashdotted...
Please forgive my english, as most germans can read english much better than speak (lack of practice).

Thank you spyzter, brynman!
You *can* have stronger weapons in germany, but you have to be member of a "Schützenverein" (gun club). You have to shoot regularly for at least a year and then you can apply for a "Waffenschein" (gun license). You need an absolutely clean criminal record. If you are under 25 you also need a psychological expertise that your mind behaves well.
After the examination you may get your gun license. To keep it you have to stay member of a gun club and shoot regularly. These are also the only places where you are allowed to shoot. In some districts shooting is even forbidden on your own property! Even spud guns are illegal. And if you get caught with an unlicensed weapon the penalties are vigorous.
That's waaaaaay to complicated to for us so we stay with our standard unmodified air rifle.
On the other side, being shot on the street or in school is a totally implausible cause of death here.

Sounds like the rules are harder for German citizens. California is one of the tougher states to get one, but still easy by German standards. Just need to show your gun safety card, be age 18, be a US citizen or resident, and have clean mental/criminal record.

Im not too clear what the rules are here (UK) for guns are. The one I used was borrwed from my dads friends. It was the most powerful kind of rifle that you can get without a licence here.

Aloha, all! Just thought I'd throw in a couple neat high-speed images I got a few months ago. They're photos of frozen roses at bullet-impact, taken as a part of an MIT photography lab class where we study and reproduce some of Doc Edgerton's methods.
I've saturated the color on a couple of the photos (just a little) to improve the composition, but they're otherwise undoctored.
Cheers!

Hello to all, Keith from Scotland here. Something I've always wanted to do was to photograph a waterdrop, God knows why, probably cos I'd seen it years ago in a mag and wanted to try it myself. Well here they are, after about 150 digital shots I managed to create my own waterdrops courtesy of the bathroom sink and a syringe. WooHoo.
Best wishes to all in the group.

Speaking of the MAKE: flash kit.. I just got mine today. You can see my first attempts in the pool.
I tried popping the balloon that came with the kit, but I was dissapointed with the picture I got. I'll have to go get lots more balloons to experiment with now. :)
...and glass stuff to drop on concrete or smash with a hammer, a laser pointer to make a photogate with, maybe more disposable cameras for multiple simultaneous flashes, and a cheap pellet gun to shoot fragile or squishy things with, and a clear shield to protect my camera, and.... :D

Hi Keith. I like 'water drop b' in the series best.
Welcome, Quaketronics Tom. That was a cool article in Make 04. My ballistics image of crayons made it into that issue as well. For the record, I should mention that it was not taken using a sound trigger or the featured kit. I used a special strobe device which belonged to the college campus.
AMagill, for a first attempt, those shots of milk look great!

Hi from the UK everyone! Just recently got my flash controller from Quaketronics in the US (hi Quaketronics Tom who was really helpful!) I'm getting some reasonable water splash shots but seem to keep missing the balloon bursting - never mind. I will add some water photos soon. Couldn't get the flash controller in the UK anywhere but there is a new expensive one out. I also use a strobe light instead of the disposable camera. What I would like to know is how people get those fabulous colours in their water splash photos. Any help would stop the flood that is likely to occur soon during my experiments .....

Hey mystic. The ballon shots can be hard. I had my flash controler before Make was puplished, so my controler is different. While I was doing my ballon shots, I found that the evnet happenes so fast that you have to have your microphone right next to the ballon, with no delay. To get different stages of the burst, just move the flash controller. Look in the photo in the link below, and you can actualy see my controller. It was set to no delay, and so it shows just how fast this event happenes. Hope this helps. Tell me how it goes, and show us all some results!

Hey Brynman,
I ensure that the drops break the IR beam by mounting the emmitter/detector right below the outlet of the eyedropper that I use to drip the paint. Other than that I just capture them Edgerton style.

These photos are triggered by sound (shock wave), optical and phyical barriers. The speed of the bullet was 883fps and my goal is to start capturing frames at +2900fps soon. The camera was a Nikon D70 and I hope that I will be going into the ballistic range next week to test a new lighting system and Nikon D-200. Some of the shots are done with mulitable flashes, but that's not a good idea due to slight differances in propagation delays in the flash electronics and causes mulitable exposures in moving parts of the picture.

There is no real protection from copying whenever you upload pictures to a photo sharing website.
However, you can mitigate this by controlling who gets to download your high-resolution originals:
At the bottom of the page, click on "Account Page" and select "Allowing Downloads".
You'll need a pro account to share originals.

We have a 1 year old and a 2 year old so started getting interested again in photography since started taking so many pictures of them, and managed to pick up a Nikon D70 on Ebay for $200 (yes that's right- it cost me $200).
I also own a small research lab and recently started work on something that could benefit from high speed photography.

Hello everyone. I have just posted my first attempt, a breaking light bulb. Not the best composition, but I was delighted that I got a good, clear shot so soon (only took three light bulbs and about an hour of setup). In addition to this one, I got a number of shots of bouncing bulbs. It is surprising how tough they are when you want them to break.
I am not a photographer, just an engineer with a bit of free time and I long-term fascination with the physical phenomenon shown through this type of photography. Interestingly, my partner in this shoot was my daughter, age six. She thinks this was the coolest activity we have done in a long time. Even beat three weeks of horse back riding.

Hey Gryffin. You dont really need a good camera to do HSP. If you look at some of my stuff at the very start of the group, they were all taken either on a pentax super ME, very old film SLR, or a sony point and shoot. All you need is a camera you can ether have blub mode on or trick into an exposure time of about 2 seconds.

Hello Friends,
I am Paritosh Narayan from India. I am very much impressed by great Martin Waugh - “Liquid Sculpture” and it inspired me a lot. The collision of two drops was challenge for me. I did lot of experiment with different type of liquids at different temp. Now I have developed my own system to get those effects. I have put some of my picture at flicker and I would be great full if you friends give me some comments on it and suggestion to further improve it.
thanks and best regards

Hi people, I'm kinda new to the dlsr era, I got given an eos 350d from my sister as she's moved on to a 5d now so I am starting to experiment. I first loved to take photos of landscapes and sunsets etc but just recently after borrowing a macro lense I am hooked on high speed photography, in particular with water as I find it very satisfying seeing the outcome and the shapes that water takes on, especially when it looks silky and as if it's frozen.
At the moment I only have a standard lense that came with the 350d but cant really afford a decent macro one yet, also with regards to the flash, do you reckon the built in flash is good enough or is it worth investing in an additional external flash?

Hi everybody, I'm Robbie from Ottawa, Canada. Having just bought a SIGMA 150mm f/2.4 Macro and SB-800, I've been experimenting with HSP, using 1/128 output level for short flash duration. My den has become a photo lab now, with all my gear scattered about, since my first attempt at milk splashes (and milk splashes on the floor, oops!). It's not easy, but rewarding after a few not so bad pictures. Getting good depth of field is a challenge, hoping to get higher than f/9. Lighting is key, I find, and am experimenting with diffusion and relection. I use a Luniquest Softbox and some styrofoam core board to help out. My first night's efforts located in my closeups set:
www.flickr.com/photos/photo_art/sets/72157600301319270/
I may be getting a Mumford Time Machine to increase my "keepers".
Not exactly sure where this is taking me, but I'm having a lot of fun!
Wardee: I recommend an additional flash that allows you to decrease power setting for minmal flash duration.

Hello everyone,
Brand new to high speed photography. I'm studying Creative Advertising Photography at university here in Australia. Planning to do something in the vein of Martin Klimas (www.martin-klimas.de) for my graduating folio (will hopefully be done by November...if i succeed, I'll post the shots on this group). If you haven't seen his shots, do yourself and check them out. They're unbelieveable. And you'll soil your pants when you realize that he did it with a 5x4 camera. One sheet of film per attempt.
At the moment I see a lot of great looking photos on this site, but I'm hoping to add a conceptual side to it rather than just aesthetic or experimental appeal. Hope to make some new contacts on here!

Recently bitten by the "high-speed" bug, I want to experiment more with this and see what happens. Just placed an order for a sound activated kit at hiviz.com, but I couldn't wait.
Spensers Gifts stores have a "wearable pocket plasma" light that is sound activated ($7.99 on sale). I bought one to play with my Sigma EF-500 DG Flash in slave mode. It works! However, there's a slight delay.
If you place the disc in front of the flash, it triggers the flash upon sound. However, it appears late/slow and captures milliseconds after the sound.
Looks like I'll have to wait for my hiviz kit to arrive before I can start sharing my own works! Looking forward to sharing - once I get the shot!

hi, asbjorn is my name! i happened to have a photo taken in high speed on the TGV (around 300km/h) and came across this group. i didn't know that high speed photography was a term on its own, but love the pictures here - particularly the water drops and shots through various objects! i'll definitely look into hsp! :-)

I have mostly used a sound trigger which I built myself which using an old cassette tape recorder amplifier and a silicon controlled rectifier - that cost less than $1. - Building these things is easy but It works best if you use a tape recorder with a manual record level control, because it allows you to control the sensitivity. - Its just a matter of putting the recorder in record mode and feeding the single through to the earphone jack. The SCR has three pins - One is common, one is for input and the other hooks to one of the flash PC cord wires. My interest has been mainly in high speed 3D photography.

Hi,
My name is Laz. I'm relatively new to this "high-speed" thing.
I devised my own infrared-beam triggered shutter release for nature photography, but I found that it worked remarkably well for water drops, falling objects, and other such high-speed subjects.
I've posted a few pictures that I hope you enjoy. I must admit, I am very inspired by the contributions from the other group members.
Thanks for Having Me!

Hi everyone :) I'm Shaindel, 22 years old, I'm from Venezuela.
I own a wonderful Canon PowerShot A630 that gives me an exposure that goes from 15'' until 1/2500. I just discovered this group today, I googled the HSP technique and here I am, I just added my first photo :) I really like it, but I would love to hear your opinion :)
Kisses
Shaindel
