Thanks for all the comments guys.
They are 3 seperate pictures not one cropped on PS.
The science behind it.... when you click the shutter there is a small degree of mirror bounce, therefore it is impossible to take pictures at this speed. The shot is taken in a dark room and lit with flashes attached to a sound trigger (camera axe). The flashes have the power turned down ie 1/64 - 1/128th power, which limits the amount of time the flash fires (around 1/1000th of a sec). The camera is set to bulb mode then the only image captured is the 1/1000th of a sec the flash fired.....
and the rest is just the maths to work out the ft/sec the gun fires and how long in m/sec to delay the flash trigger
With the limited number of eggs you had and the results you got I think these are great, especially the first one. I would not have wanted to clean up the mess though! Amazing that this is the ninth post and there are no egg yokes yet
Oh all right... eggscellent shots. You've done all white with these. Me, I'd be too chicken to try that. Still, I won't be beaten and shell try it one day. I might poach your instructions though, as I'd just scramble the technicalities myself.
Seriously though - this kind of stuff is really impressive and the science behind it fascinating. Brilliant!
Reminds me of the cover on daltons book 'split second ' Nice pics mate. It's bloody tricky and you did good. I may have a copy of the book somewhere if you want it. Also check out the Einstein flash.. Super short duration. Well done
