Part 3 Vision & Photography - BBC Explorations

So much of our world is invisible to us. Its secrets locked in time and space. But alter that time and space and the once invisible world suddenly becomes visible.

Using a fast flashing artificial light or a strobe light, its possible to freeze minute moments of time, and even the fastest moving objects.

One of the pioneers in the use of strobe lighting in photography was Professor Harold Edgerton. Developing the technology to look at our world in different and startling ways has been one of the greatest achievements of human endeavour. The latest development in photography is also one of the most amazing. Its called Time Slice.

Time slice, invented by Tim Macmillan, freezes a single moment in time and lets us view it in three dimensions.
