Thank you. Thats kind of what I wanted to get at but didn't know how to put across. I don't want a 'smear' photo, I'd want a crystal clear image. A freeze framed snapshot in time of something moving at c. The problem being that the light coming into your camera wouldn't be the light reflected of...
I'd lengthen the exposure time to allow more light to filter into the shutter I suppose. I don't see where your going with this and sorry but all that tech talk just sails right over my head.
I know it seem silly but please indulge me a little more.
I was kinda thinking of light traveling as sound does.
You hear a plane overhead and look up to see where the sound comes from but the plane isn't there, its way ahead so to record the sound at max volume you would point the mic...
Thanks for the welcome :smile:
even for a shadow I was thinking more that by the time the light reaches the shutter the object will have moved on. So would you have to set the shutter speed up to as short a time as possible and point the camera ahead of the object or is that just wishful...
Or maybe it isn't and apologies in advance if this isn't the appropriate forum but I was wondering if it is possible to take a photo of something traveling at the speed of light ?
If so, how...if not, why not ?
