Water Captured At A Stunning7000 Frames Per Second

You all know how much I love anything to do with Art, or the Art of Photography, and the following video is no exception.

It's another one of  those slow-motion capture videos, that I absolutely love.  Kudos to Romain Glé and Thomas Séon who put this music video together.  There's nothing like water being captured at 7000 FPS (frames per second).  Simply stunning to say the least.

So Retro, It's Cool

In February, I showed you a light bulb shattered into a million pieces, in the slowest motion photography you've ever seen.  Last month, I featured Jello jiggling in a way you never thought possible, and on May 18, we witnessed a 6 foot water balloon burst into a tidal wave of laughter and amazement.  

In what I think is pure genius, you'll see some retro products in three separate television commercials, courtesy of French company, Citroën, the first mass-producing auto company outside of the United States.  Director, Jonathan Gurvit has taken the concept of slow-motion photography to a whole new level, by introducing us to Citroën, and their Anti-Retro campaign.

In the videos below, you'll notice some "Retro" products from the past, like Telephones, Blenders and TV Sets.  Each of the commercials uses slow-motion digital photography to capture the ultimate destruction of these products, in very creative, and unimaginable ways.

Enjoy!

A Huge Water Bomb!

We've all seen water balloons burst - we've either played with them as children, or as adults. But have you seen one burst in slow-motion? 

As with my previous two posts, The following video uses high-definition cameras to capture the destruction of a water balloon.  This time, the artists are The Slow Mo Guys - this is my first time hearing about them.  Regardless to say, they don't burst a regular water balloon, they burst one a thousand times the size - 6 foot, to be exact.  

I actually enjoyed watching this, it was quite entertaining.

Jell-O in High Definitiion Slow-motion Video

You may recall my post, "Wormhole in The Fabric of Time," where professional photographer, Tom Guilmette took his Phantom High Speed Digital Cinema camera, and created a masterpiece.  He was able to capture remarkable images we probably would never see if it were not for his camera.

The video below features another great collection of images taken with a similar high-definition camera, and the visuals are splendid. I'm not sure who the artist is, but credit is definitely deserved.  If any of my readers know, please inform me by leaving me a comment.

Wormhole in The Fabric of Time

"Violating the laws of nature. Playing God. Capturing stuff we are not suppose to see. Potentially opening up a wormhole in the fabric of time." - Tom Guilmette

And that is exactly what Tom accomplishes when using his Phantom High Speed Digital Cinema camera.  Capturing captivating images you normally wouldn't see.  Imagine dropping a glass of milk, a pocket full of change, or simply watching a drop of water fall from a faucet, and you really don't notice much of anything.

During the hours of 2am and 6am (kinda sounds like Fox's 24, lol) Tom shot some test footage in his Las Vegas Palms Casino hotel room. He wanted to familiarize himself with the "Flex" version of the camera.  I'm not familiar with this, but if you're a photographer I'm sure you do.

I wanted to share this mesmerizing video of the images Tom captured using this amazing camera.
