High speed photography is the science of taking pictures of very fast phenomena. In 1948, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) defined high-speed photography as any set of photographs captured by a camera capable of 128 frames per second or greater, and of at least three consecutive frames. High speed photography can be considered to be the opposite of time-lapse photography.
High speed photography can be used to make action seem to freeze, reducing motion blur, or to take a series of photographs at high frequency. The first application requires a very sensitive sensor and a very good shutter system or a very fast strobe light. The second application requires either a mechanical device for capturing frames in very quick succession or a camera that can data off the electronic sensors very quickly.
