What is "high-speed photography"?
High-speed photography is a technique used to capture extremely fast events that happen too quickly for the human eye to see clearly. By using cameras that can take many frames per second, high-speed photography freezes motion in a series of images, allowing detailed analysis of rapid movements, such as a bullet shattering glass or a drop of water hitting a surface. This technique is used in scientific research, engineering, sports analysis, and in creating visually striking images in art and media.
