“To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality.”

Henry Cartier Bresson

Capturing still objects is fairly a novice skill in photography. The real challenge for a photographer is to incarcerate objects travelling at high speed. This introduces us to high-speed photography which is an enthralling method of capturing the moments that we don’t often get to see. So many wonderful things take place in the blink of an eye which is too fast for human eye to observe. The only thing we get to see is the after-effects of that event.

When a wine glass breaks, the naked eye only witnesses the bits and pieces of shattered glass. We can’t watch a jet passing by at ultra high speed. But with the help of high speed photography, these fast movements can be captured. What is intriguing about high-speed photography is that the photo itself does not interest us, it is the little element of reality that we wish to capture.

Using a modern shooting gear and quick shutters, photographers can freeze time to reveal a fabulous moment. I have compiled some amazing photographs showing how brilliantly photographers can grab hold a moment of impact or sudden movement.
