HIGH-SPEED PHOTOGRAPHY

High-speed photography captures moments that the  human eye can barely perceive - fractions of a second when a drop of water hits the ground or a light bulb bursts. The author shows you how to use your camera to freeze these dynamic moments and produce real works of art. First, he reveals how to take water drop photos with the simplest means and without expensive equipment. He then discusses more professional setups and explains what preparations are necessary for the various shootings. He deals in detail with topics such as lighting, control devices, solenoid valves, the various drop liquids, the camera's release delay and gives an insight into his workflow in image processing as well as the reproducibility of drop formations. This new edition has also been supplemented by the topics Water Wigs, special nozzles with a plastic-based 3D printing process and special UV flashes with fluorescent inks.
