Photography is revered worldwide as an art and a profession. Photographers capture beauty in the ordinary and teach us new ways of seeing the world. Whether you are an amateur or a professional photographer, you should know that choosing the right camera makes all the difference. Some photographers may also choose moving as opposed to still images and create their art through video. Over the years, experimentation with specialized video cameras has lead to numerous innovations in the genre.

High speed cameras are primarily used for recording slow motion playback films. While regular digital camera speed can record images up to twenty-four frames per second, high speed cameras can has up to fifteen thousand frames per second in recording.

Since exposure is very critical with a high speed video camera, there has to be very bright light present if you are using one. When using a high speed digital video camera, footage of even a single second can be stretched to last a few minutes. A quick search on the Internet can help you find footage shot on high speed cameras, in case you are curious as to how these actually look as well. Likewise, there are also some manufacturers of these types of cameras on the Internet, in case you are interested in getting one.

Other than for aesthetic purposes, speed camera detectors are used in the United Kingdom for identifying which vehicles are speeding and then later informing the drivers of the traffic violation. High speed cameras can also slow down footage of traffic accidents that may have happened in a matter of seconds and determining the culpability of each of the parties involved in these accidents. High speed cameras have also been used in the observation of some scientific phenomena. Because of these, high speed cameras also have very practical purposes in the real world, other than for art.
