High-Speed Photography Question Box
Journal of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers · 1950
Extensive use of high-speed motion pictures—and their corollary, time-lapse photography—as research tools is forcing many an engineer to become an accomplished photographer, to add to his other highly specialized experience. He puts the unfamiliar tools of photography to work because he has available no other means of securing the information he needs. Although photography in its more conventional aspects is basically complex, our researcher multiplies its complexities many times by crowding to the limit nearly every step in the process and thereby hands himself, as an amateur, a handful of problems that have been stumping the experts regularly for years.
