What is "chronophotography"?
Chronophotography is a technique used to capture and study motion by taking a series of photographs at sequential time intervals. This creates a sequence of images that shows the movement of an object or person over time. The technique is useful for analyzing dynamic processes, such as how a person runs or how an object moves. It was historically important in the study of motion and has contributed to the development of motion pictures and animation.
