High Speed photography 101 - Restoring Awesomeness to Art

http://twitter.com/#!/SmarterYoutube


High speed photography isn't quite as difficult as one might think. It may be accomplished simply with a flash and a camera capable of holding open the shutter. Most of these photos were taken in my garage with my rifle setup.

The acoustic trigger circuit kit is available from http://www.hiviz.com/. The kits are designed and distributed by Dr. Loren Winters, a high speed photography wizard who is truly a high speed photography pioneer who has given greatly of himself to introduce students to the wonders of Newtonian Physics.

The music was created by "A Shell in the Pit". Please support this wonderful artist by purchasing his music. An example of his work can be found at:

Lastly, I'm working on a website http://www.artisticballistics.com. I'm trying to fund my children's education by selling awesome art created with bullets. It will take me a few weeks to get the site up and running.

Which flash are you using?

@OliverKrystal

Canon 580 EX II

Now I really want to do this! I would need to get the flash and components, but that wouldn't be very hard. The hard part for me would be assembling the circuit and getting the flash programmed right. Do you think you could make a new video explaining exactly what to do? Or link to some nice tutorial?

@Rulerofwax24

Just do it.  You'll learn more.

Oh... you haven't seen the video yet, have you? Look up "Sparky the stunt fish"

@TheDreamMasterAB

It didn't exist.  Then it did. Some force outside of the earth itself created it.

Do you have a day job?

Thumbs up for the "I love my wife" t-shirt.

That's okay, Destin. I like to make my breadboard circuits look just like the schematic.

@destinws2 It's called gravity.

BTW, are you a Young Earth Creationist?
