High Speed Photography

High Speed Photography is truly amazing. Who knew a water drop collapses like a racquetball?
This is part of an interetsing trend I've been seeing lately, when something is posted on /. it tends to come up on Metafilter a few days later. Maybe its just that I'd never followed slashdot much before last week. Anyway, thats totally off topic. Those pictures are cool as hell!

If anyone can tell me the name of the video (I thought it was from National Geographic) that features the world of high-speed, macro photography (milk drop, bullet through an apple, etc.) I would be eternally grateful.

bytecode: I don't visit /. I just saw it at Milov's and thought it was MeFi worthy.

hey! those are my fellow students at NCSSM! I knew Jason Martin! Not that anybody is impressed. But I do remember watching them set up a shot of imploding an old cathode ray tube. that was pretty cool.
high speed photography was the only physics class i didn't take at that school. i thought them a little too destructive.

A few Harold Edgerton links: Edgerton Center in Nebraska and MIT's Edgerton Center.

meep: you thought the class was too destructive, so you didn't take it? I don't think I need to read your profile to know you're female. Heheh. Erm, sorry, Tim Allen Mode disengaging now...

kev: yeah yeah yeah. Still, I thought it more fun to build an optical stereo system (with corner reflectors on the ends of the physics hall, photovoltaic cells attached to the stereos, and hand-built amps) than shoot a bullet through a balloon or smash a lightbulb with a hammer. i mean - cool pics on the one hand, but then there's all that mess to clean up! i'd rather play with LEDs in liquid nitrogen any ole day.
