25+ Examples of High Speed Photography

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.
