I just put a page up of my new high speed 1/20,000 sec shots of birds in
flight using a .005 sec capping shutter.

Those are *fascinating*! Seeing all the feathers frozen so precisely is
beautiful, and probably gives lots of information to people studying
bird flight too. Thanks for posting these!

Just goes to show how little humans have mastered the art of flight.
Those birds are the true masters. The photos show incredible detail of
the feathers and the shape of the wing.

Yep! He did a super job with these. I agree with how the feathers are
shaped when these birds are in flight. Every one of these greats shots
reinforces my statement that the bird in this shot (different photograher)
it stuffed and is not flying at all. The lack of proper feather/wing shape
doesn't support the idea that this bird is actually flying.

Those are very nice shots, but it seems like it would be a lot easier to
just use cheap flash units to get the same effect. For compositional
purposes, it also seems like you would get better shots using a telephoto
lens, getting back a bit, composing the shot and then pushing the shutter
release instead of getting so many cut-off birds in some photos achieved
with the shutter tripping mechanism that doesn't require your input.

Incidentally, is the exposure time dictated by flash duration or shutter
speed? I ask because I noticed some ghosting in some of the images which
suggests that the flash duration might be the shorter of the two (or you
flash units might not be sync'd perfectly).

That makes a '50s sci-fi matte look real in comparison.


It is in the Your Shot section of National Geographic this month.
