11 Amazing High Speed Photography by Dymondgurl(f): 9:32am On Dec 13, 2014 |
Photography is an art that fascinates me and if given the opportunity, I will explore the wonders of the art of photography. The world is an amazing place, filled with all sorts of wonderful sights to see. However, what's really amazing is the beauty that occurs in front of our eyes every day that happens too fast to see.

Dymondgurl: I don't really know how these shots are made but I know about capturing high speed motion. There is this camera I saw on NatGeoWild that captures video up to 10,000fps (frames per seconds) at a moderately high resolution. It was used to capture some very high speed events that occur within the fraction of a second such as the grabbing of an insect by the tongue of a chameleon etc. The trick will be to put the camera on record mode, capture the event then freeze frame in your video editing suite. Simple... I think. ![]() That is just basic stuff tho. For really geeky stuffs, there is the super slow motion camera that captures moving bullet and bullet impact (used by the "slow mo guys" ![]() There is also Femto-photography, 10million fps craze etc. Cameras like HyperVision and Phantom flex and V-series are notable for stuffs like these. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Feraz: Wow... I envy you. So you have captured lightening? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have not done something like that but I have tried something on a kicked ball. It was on a panasonic "toy" so it didn't come out well. Using a high frame rate camera from 10,000fps with a moderately high resolution could do the job better... I think. ![]() |
Re: 11 Amazing High Speed Photography by VillageBoi(m): 11:03pm On Dec 30, 2014 |
Pretty similar to what Prof has said but let's think of this as 'actual' high-speed 'photography' for now and not high-speed filming... yes they are pretty much the same thing but let's think in terms of a stills camera that pretty much anyone here can lay hands on. Almost all DSLRs can shoot up to 8000 fps (frames per second) and that is a serious amount of speed. Of course a speeding bullet needs even faster frame rates than that. The KEY to capturing high-speed photography is actually light - the use of flashes is a MUST. Now many DSLRs will go to a max of 250fps with a flash, however, if the DSLR and flash can do high-speed sync together then the limit is even higher. The faster the shutter speed - the more light is needed. Almost all, if not all, the pics posted, were taken with a regular DSLR camera. Going the route of high-speed video cameras is not a good idea unless you specifically want slo-mo video. The reason being the resolution is far, far less than what you will get with a stills camera. Posting a video here that shows what you can get with a very 'common' 160th of a second shutter speed. I hope this has been a bit useful.

@ Feraz Capturing bolts of lightning is pretty simple if you follow the 'right' procedure. Can I assume you were using a DSLR? Don't go into video mode, rather switch back to stills mode. Here are the basic tricks - Observe the storm you want to shoot... position yourself so it is not coming towards you or away from you but rather across from left to right or right to left - just like something panning across your camera. Use a TRIPOD, you will never get this handheld. It pretty impossible that you will ever get the FIRST flash... observe lightning and you will notice that almost every big flash is followed very quickly by a number of smaller flashes. Your distance from the storm is also very important. For safety you want to be probably 10-20km away from the storm... you are using metal items outside (preferably under some building cover just in case of a downpour of rain... or indoors from an open window that doesn't show in the frame. When you see a flash - count how long it takes before you hear the THUNDER. 30 seconds and above is a good distance. Ok you are ready to shoot... you want a wide-angle lens - the stock 18-55 or 18-135 or whatever is a good lens for this. Set you focus to infinity or focus on something in the area where the lightning bolts are happening then switch your lens to manual so it doesn't keep hunting for focus. It will also be best if you have a shutter release cable of a remote control - this prevents camera shake from touching the camera. Use an aperture of around 5.6 for starters and a low iso of 100. Set your camera to BULB mode... not manual, not aperture priority and not shutter priority! When you see the first flash press the button until a few more flashes have fired across the frame. You can have your shutter open anywhere from 30secs to 2 mins at a time. Then check the back of your lcd. If it's too dark then try a wider aperture or higher iso or longer exposure time and also do the opposite if they are too bright. Trial and error until you get it right. This are the rules for taking these shots at night. If the storm is during the daytime then use these different rules - Put your camera in SHUTTER PRIORITY mode. Select a shutter speed of 1/15 to 1/4 of a second. A low iso of 100 or 200 and then take some test shots to see the image is properly exposed. Have a polarising filter or ND filter that will reduce the exposure and help slow down the shutter speed. Then use the same rules as - when you see the first flash then you press the button. Got to be honest day time ligning capture is harder than night time and can be a bit of hit and miss. Hopefully this helps you figure things out. Oh and its the opposite of high-speed photography - this is very slow speed photography. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

VillageBoi:Omoi shiro i!!! Thanks but it seems you and Prof are both assuming I'm talking about using a high ended camera. Don't have money for those now. Still using my pureview Lumia phone. ![]() |
Re: 11 Amazing High Speed Photography by VillageBoi(m): 1:08am On Dec 31, 2014 |
Feraz: You're welcome. And yes we would and did rightly assume such going by the 'exact' statement you posted... Feraz: You did not say "I set the phone camera..." Not having a go at you but if you do not ADD the required information into a post, you can't expect people to be mind readers. Anyway, your phone I believe has a max of 30fps in video mode... so it's not really that great; a camera phone with 120fps would really slow the action down. You mentioned the lightning was very fast. Try watching out for a day or night when the lightning bolts seem to hold for a few seconds... try videoing it then and you might luckily get a good frame or two to pull as a still pic. As they say... use the right tool for the right job... yours is a 'phone'. 1 Like |

Re: 11 Amazing High Speed Photography by faloo2000: 2:13am On Jan 03, 2015 |
Hi guys, Some of these pics are taken using other devices to aid cameras. There are sensors that detect motion,speed and sound. Other devices include flash that is triggered remotely using softwares on smartphones. Yes DSLR cameras are used..bulb setting which keeps shutter open so exposure is achieved during the duration that the flash is on. Meanwhile the flash is triggered when either sound,or motion is detected. True..some of these may be possible with high number of frames per second but the action can also be easily missed due to split second delay. 1 Like |
