Learn More About High Speed Photography
What is High Speed Photography?
High-speed photography is a type of photography that focuses on the art, methods, and practice of capturing fast events that cannot be perceived by the human eye. This photography subgenre can be done within a controlled environment like an indoor studio. Other stunning high-speed events are shot outdoors and most of these can be risky yet exciting. The most popular subjects of high-speed photos out there are lightning strikes, bullet shooting through an object, wildlife pouncing on a game, waterdrop, balloon popping, sports maneuvers, and other high-speed moving objects.
Aside from creativity and passion, successful high-speed photoshoots need preparation through proper planning, research, and gathering the right equipment. Any entry-level and high-end camera will do, as long as it supports manual mode. You’ll also need a sturdy tripod, the right lens for the job, one or two flash units, and most importantly, a high-speed camera trigger to ensure every shot’s timing, precision, and high-quality images.
Recommended Equipment for High Speed Photography
Shooting fast events require the right high-speed photography equipments. Aside from a DSLR capable of Manual Mode, you’re going to need a sturdy tripod that allows you to eliminate blurry images and missed shots. Depending on the subject that you want to capture, your choice of lens is also important. Macro lenses, for instance, are best for bullet and water drop photography, because of their magnification and focus. For safer distance and crisp images, zoom lenses are ideal for risky wildlife and lightning photos. Flash units are also one of the most vital high-speed photo equipments because they freeze the image in place and signal your camera to capture the event after your flash’s burst.
Lastly, you’ll need a high-speed camera trigger that can set off the flash, release your camera’s shutter, or do both. With a high-speed remote trigger, you’ll get accurate, well-timed, blur-free, high-quality images of rare and elusive high-speed events.
How to Take Perfect High Speed Photos? Recommended Settings
Completing successful long exposure shots comes down to planning, proper camera equipment, and controlling your camera. Your camera should support Manual Mode to activate its Bulb Mode. The bulb mode is one of the most important high-speed photo settings used for long exposure photography. This option allows you to adjust your shutter speed to a specific length of time and it is often used in extremely low-lit photoshoots.
Most long-exposure shots are done during nighttime or in a dark studio. Shutter speed for long-exposure shots can be adjusted one second, 60 seconds, 30 minutes, or longer. Your shutter speed is then balanced with an aperture range of F/8 to F/11. Professionals also manually adjust their camera’s high-speed photography settings depending on the subject that they want to capture. A bonus pro tip is to use a wireless camera trigger to prevent blurry images when setting off your camera’s shutter.
Tips for High Speed Photography? How to Make it Easier?
High-speed photography can be quite intimidating, especially for beginner photographers. However, seasoned professionals can agree that even your entry-level camera can be used to take photos of extremely fast subjects.
Here are some high-speed photography tips to make high-speed photography easier:
- Complete your high-speed camera bag: camera with manual mode, a tripod, a lens kit, and one or two flash units.
- Practice in your home studio first and try easier, safer, and more affordable high-speed photography subjects first: balloons popping, water droplets, colored water splashes.
- Watch online tutorials and read blogs about high-speed photography tricks to expand your perspective and explore your creativity!

- Use a smart camera trigger to time your shots, adjust shutter delays, set shooting frequency, and release your shutter from a safe distance.
