They did this on time warp on the discovery, only with video and some better setups. Everything is beautiful in slow mo, Time Warp is worth a watch.

Good timing, but he needs much less than 1/500 to freeze it properly.

Impressive stuff, the right tool for the job!

'Photographer Richard Heeks, from Exeter, used a fast shutter speed of 1/500th of a second...'

Oh, he didn't actually use a 'slow-motion camera' then. I suspect he used a Casio bridge camera and shot it as video: http://www.trustedreviews.com/digital-cameras/news...

Indoors is quite wind-free too.

'Mr Heeks, a student, used a macro camera to get in close...'

A 'macro camera' as well! He must have aligned the two cameras with a multiplex arrangement... but failed to mention it. Obviously neither he nor anyone at the paper knows what they're talking about!


It's a nice idea for a school project but hardly more.
