faaast camera

Post by rijruna »

no need for an A.S.A. rating for the film used in these pix, plenty of light available but d@m fast shutters here heheh 'd @ m' 'de atom'

1 millionth of a sec shots but although what the shots were taken of we really dont need, the pix are stunning. no digital wands used here but real film
it also occurred to me that some of the shots look like something seen under a microscope.
cheers

i dont remember were i saw it. but i do remember what it was. a camera running at a couple million FPS, and it captured a LASER beam travelling a sequence of 12 mirrors. you could see the LASER as it hit each mirror and even it being emitted from the LASER aperature.

I dont think that is very likely ace unless the mirrors were quite a distance apart because a beam of light can travel 982.08 feet in 1/1,000,000 th of a second.

(186,000 miles per second / 1,000,000) * 5280 feet.

Even at 2 million FPS thats still 491.04 feet.

I imagine "a couple million" was an estimate. At a couple hundred million FPS, the mirrors would only have to be 4.9104 feet apart ;)

yep i know about the laser cameras, but this was in the 50`s when they used that camera. lasers were`nt so advanced at that time. these cameras were a 'one shot only' negative based film type & to get a sequental series of shots they had to time upto 10 of these to go off correctly. pretty impressive using valve-tube computers, the high tech of its day & get it right, cant say 'cut---- go again pls action' with a nuke. hhmm i liked the nuke cannon video too,

Ace, it must have been a dusty hangar, because otherwise you don't see the laser unless you look directly in it.
