Harold "Doc" Edgerton aka Papa Flash!!
Harold "Doc" Edgerton aka Papa Flash!!
Father of modern high speed photography
Scientist, MIT Professor, engineer, photographer and artist
Perfected high speed camera which could show things too quick for the eye to see.
In 1931, he invented the stroboscope which made it possible to freeze split-second events, resulting in iconic images of things like a milk drop splashing or a bullet piercing an apple.
Edgerton revolutionized photography, science, military surveillance, Hollywood filmmaking, and the media through his invention.
Edgerton won numerous awards for his work, including the National Medal of Science in 1973; he even won an Oscar for a stroboscopic film
The photographs that resulted from his scientific experiments were championed in the 1930s as representative of the New Objectivity, the American counterpart to the German Neue Sachlichkeit.
Edgerton's photography of split-second motion may be seen as an expansion beyond the nineteenth-century locomotion studies of by Eadweard Muybridge and Étienne-Jules Marey.

Shutter Speed... Key word: SPEED!!
Shutter Speed... Key word: SPEED!!
How FAST or how SLOW can you capture a photo?!
For this assignment, you will capture images at different FAST SHUTTER SPEEDS
CAMERA SETTINGS:
CAMERA SETTINGS:
Shutter speed: fastest possible!
1/4000 of a second
f stop: letting in as much light as possible!
F 4.5 or F/5 or F.5.6
ISO settings:
3200, 6400, AUTO
Focus your image- zoom and focus ring
yes, we have to deal with lower quality images to capture things at high speeds
CONTINUOUS Shooting mode:

Directions:
Find a moving subject at school
Choose something happening that involves motion. Ideas CAN include:
Student walking or running
A basketball being dribbled
Grass/leaves flapping in the wind
Water from a drinking fountain
3. Take two photos of the same scene:
Fast Shutter Speed (e.g., 1/500 or faster)
Freeze the action — the subject should look crisp and still.
Slow Shutter Speed (e.g., 1/30 or slower)
Show motion blur — the movement should appear streaked or ghosted.
4. Submit (use the below digihandout):
2 photos (1 frozen motion, 1 motion blur)
Details for each photo:
Location on campus (e.g., gym, hallway)
Shutter speed used
A brief caption (1–2 sentences): What did you notice about the subject when using a fast shutter speed? What did you notice when using a slow shutter speed? When do you want to use a fast shutter speed?
