High-speed
Photographs with an Olympus D-600L

Note the sharpness of these images below. This requires a flash
duration on the order of 1/10,000 second. The Olympus D-600L has no direct
adjustment for this. However, an automatic flash such as the one
built in to the camera adjusts its duration automatically in
response to light reflected from the subject. The brighter the
reflected light, the shorter the duration will be. Moore had
placed the camera within a few feet of the balloon. At this close
range, the reflected light intensity was high.

First successful photo of a balloon burst using the
Olympus D-600L. This image is a cropped version of the
original file (640 x 512 pi, 144 dpi). Note the BB below
the balloon.

This shredded balloon is a cropped version of the
original file (1280x1024, 144 dpi). Wrinkles in the
collapsing balloon material are visible.

The BB has just entered the balloon. The dark spot
behind the vertex of the front rip may be the BB. Its
appearance at this location is coincidental.
