The applications of high speed photography are near endless. It began in 1878 when Eadweard Muybridge studied horse’s feet during a gallop.
In common usage, high speed photography has two main characteristics. One, the photo must be taken in a way that freezes the motion with minimal motion blur. And two, the series of photos must be taken at a high frame rate.
The development of this technique started with a few frames per second, then it rose to a few dozen, a few hundred and then a few thousand. But, what if we took it a step further, a few million, billion or trillion?
