Barn Owl Attacking Its Prey in Slow Motion

And now, here’s what it looks like when naked people bounce around at 2000 fps (Possibly NSFW, but art)

Michael Haussman took several naked people and filmed them in super slow motion at 2000 fps as they bounce up and down. And it’s both fascinating and kind of horrifying at the same time.

This, friends, is what super slow motion cameras were made for.

TED talk of the day: Watching light in slow motion at a trillion frames per second

In 1964 MIT professor Harold Edgerton, pioneer of stop-action photography, famously took a photo of a bullet piercing an apple using exposures as short as a few nanoseconds. Inspired by his work, Ramesh Raskar and his team set out to create a camera that could capture not just a bullet (traveling at 850 meters per second) but light itself (nearly 300 million meters per second).

Stop a moment to take that in: photographing light as it moves. For that, they built a camera and software that can visualize pictures as if they are recorded at 1 trillion frames per second. The same photon-imaging technology can also be used to create a camera that can peer “around” corners , by exploiting specific properties of the photons when they bounce off surfaces and objects.

Slow motion flaming tennis should be an Olympic sport

Actually, any sport could be made better with the addition of fire. Fire swimming, fire hurdles, fire ski jump, fire soccer. I think this could be a thing.

And now, here’s a guy breathing fire in super slow motion

As in, the video was shot in super slow motion, not that he is somehow bending the laws of physics to cause fire from his mouth to emerge in super slow motion. Though that would be cool, too.

July 4th moment of zen: Slow motion fireworks from overhead

Using a few large helium balloons, a GoPro camera and some fireworks, here’s the most unique fireworks display you’ll see today.

How a hard drive works, in slow motion

You may have seen a hard drive spinning and reading without a protective case, but it’s so fast, it’s hard to see what it’s doing. Fortunately, here’s a hard drive doing its thing in super slow motion to capture all the nuances of its data retrieval.
