High Speed Photography

I wanted to take a break today from working on my current projects. I want to get them done, but I also don’t like spending all my time behind a computer. I do that all week long for my day job, I really would prefer to spend some time away from it during the weekend. I was looking in a photography book and said, hey why don’t I do some “Doc Edgerton” shots. I don’t have access to high speed strobes currently; however the camera shutter will do 1/4000th of a second. So I busted out my work lights and proceeded to heat up my living room. The results however were quite decent.
