Slow/Ultra Slow Motion and Thread...

I realize this is not about photo's but video's.

If mentors decide this should go in the GD forum then please move it. I thought it close enough.

A start:

Penny power dropped in UltraSlo

One more 7000 FPS lady bug.

A beautiful red drop of water in slow motion

This one is phenomenal.

Some seriously nice sequences. Wish I had a garage or work shop.

Wow, that ladybug is like a transformer! I never knew that beetles had their wings under that outer shell like that. I thought they used that shell to fly!

Dembadon

Thanks for sharing, rhody. I love slow-motion videos and could watch them for hours. My favorite is the lightning video.

DaveC426913

Yeah, that was the way coolest. I watched it a half dozen times.

QC, Dembadon, Dave,

Thanks, I hope others will contribute when they find something truly special.

BTW. Does anyone here have some serious camera gear, in the caliber near what was presented here ?

Astro posted the following a while back.



Claims he found it via LisaB.

I liked the Phantom Flex video, as the music reminded me of retro-bullet time:


(Hard to believe that movie is 43 years old)

This one blows me away. I mean, given that 'normal' 30 fps imaging requires about 100W of light, in order to shoot 10^6 fps requires about 3*10^6 W. I can't imagine how to do that. Does anyone know what kind of lighting is used for this stuff?

Amazing, thanks rhody and everyone!

rhody

Andy,

I did a little digging on Kurzzeit's site (English version, thank God), here is what I found for lighting, there is a camera link too, up to 1 million FPS. It is a start.

Camera can snap now, focus later

Interesting concept, according to the article begun by Russian scientist Alexander Gershun in 1936 and the capture mechanism's took off in the 1980's and 1990's. I wonder if this technology would aid in high speed photography ?

I couldn't find any information about that device- I had a hard time finding any lighting product for high speed video, but came up with this:

http://www.visinst.com/LEDLighting.html

Which seems very reasonable, and this:

http://www.visinst.com/HIPI%20Light.htm

which does not :)

At least the Shimadzu and Phantom have a Nikon f-mount... tee hee...

We haven't yet found any high speed video kit that will match mechanical high speed cameras using rotating prisms for our requirements - continuous capture 2000 frames at 10,000 FPS, resolution better than 10 MPixels. Some of the mechanical camera bodies are 20 or 30 years old, but with proper maintenance they still perform pretty much "as new".

For that speed we use about 150 to 200 kW of incandescent lighting.

In the top picture on page 3 of this http://www.rolls-royce.com/trent_100...t1000_Iss6.pdf you can see some of the lighting (on the blue panels and elsewhere) for "side view" cameras, which we would describe as medium speed, i.e about 1000 FPS for several seconds.

The bottom picture shows part of the "front view" camera and lighting rig, with the lighting being checked out (at low power). The actual cameras are beyond the left hand edge of the picture, but of course there is nothing much to see from the outside except big metal boxes.

Even with a setup built as solidly as that, camera shake is still an annoyance.

Of course these days the photographic film is only used to produce high resolution digital images (at comparable resolution to the photographic grain size) - much nicer to work with than spending hours viewing scratchy copies on VHS videotape one frame at a time!

Of course with those levels of lighting, radiant heating can be a serious issue - not so much for outdoor test rigs like the one pictured, but certainly for high speed filming of tests inside vacuum chambers and suchlike.

rhody

Aleph,

So are you saying the 1 million fps in the video here: is not actually at 1 million fps, but something less, or that the bullet collisions were made in vacuum chambers, and at the advertised speed of 1 million fps ?
