In my pursuit and research of high speed photography. I came across a couple of websites with very informative techniques.

The first one actually has multiple photography styles that it shares detailed information on, but if you’re interested in the high speed style – it is the first section:

Most of the sites I came across talk about a “flash controller” or a sound trigger, to syncronize the flash and shutter with the action.  This ensures that you don’t miss your opportunity to capture your desired effect in the photograph.  This is something I did not even factor.  I realized you have to have the shutter and flash go off at precisely the same time, but I was not sure how to accomplish this.  The website above was quite helpful.  If you click on the DIY – High Speed Photography at Home it gives you some great information.

In my research so far, I’m finding that high speed photography is a lot more complex than I had anticipated. But don’t let this stop you! I’m not finished with researching, and I believe there has got to be a way to take high speed photos without the sound trigger… but to manually take pictures with only the flash and very little equipment. I’ll keep you updated, and in the future I’ll be doing some high speed tests of my own.

The second website I found to be quite informative as well, and a bit less complex in its explanation and set-up.

I hope you found these helpful. I will have a few more posts on high speed photography, and then move on to a different area of study.

Thanks for reading, and leave comments! Blessings to you all!
