I wonder how many frames a second!

210

That was a great find! Even with no sound, I couldn't stop watching before the end.

Pretty freakin' cool!

Low tech, too: "I used a Casio Exilim FH20, which Amazon offers for just £230 these days."

Very cool!!! I wonder how fast that is.... I mean, it must be very bright and very fast!

EDIT: Only 200+ fps?! I would have guessed about double that. Impressed. Even the motion blur is pretty decent. That shutter must be cranked... I'd like to know if it was open at 1/210 or if it was 180* or something more along the lines of 1/450 etc.

I'd like to know this, too.

Awesomeness? Yep... you were right. That was the coolest thing I've seen in a while. It's bullet-time from a bullet-train... for FREE!

 

[Marc Villafan]

I call fake, its obviously a car driving and people told to either stay still or move very slowly....



Joking! This shot looks great, I too am curious about the shutter. I've watched it a few times and its great to see new things each time. Small things like noticing someone grabbing their backpack, or the girl pointing afar.

Great post Dave!

I don't think I've ever said this about anything, but... I'd love to see that in 3D.
