One fast camera
« on: May 07, 2010, 07:49:52 PM »
Any of you ever seen Tim Samara's camera for shooting lightning? He custom built it and shoots at a meager 100,000 fps. This camera actually catches the downstroke of lightning. Our human eye typically only catches the "bolt" which is the return strike from the ground.
