Triumphant Return

I have returned!

Indeed! Unfortunately the returning topic of this week is kind of tough considering my camera's limited capabilities. High Speed awesomeness. Yeah, unless you had a super high speed camera like an SLR, its almost impossible to capture high speed stuff. Now this may confuse some of you, since I haven't quite defined the subject matter, which leads up into today's post!

High Speed Photography!

Alrighty, here we go. Defining high speed photography. The act of catching actions that the eye can't see on camera. Things like a bullet speeding through a glass, a water balloon breaking and the water still left in the shape of the balloon. It requires a major high speed camera which can capture frame after frame, in fact it seems to be the that from site to site that I visit, you require at least over 120 frames per second up to hundreds which they use for sports commercials and such. As you can see, this is why my camera will be very hard pressed.

What we will do this week is PRETEND that my camera is capable of all these amazing things by choosing subject matter in my photos that aren't particularly amazingly difficult to capture, but with artistic help, I will try to make it seem high speed.

This subject matter actually is he first of several types of photography that will be getting extra attention. Six days of study instead of the normal five. These posts might be shorter because there is extra time, but then again I might be getting more technological around this time because my camera won't really be able to capture these things we talk about.

High Speed is a beast, and we begin today, capturing something people usually don't capture with their... naked eye. That or things they don't especially pay attention to.
