Fast Flash Photography
Author: Tim
I have tried a few fast-motion capture experiments with a long open shutter in a dark room, where some event triggers a fast flash, thereby only briefly illuminating the subject. These are preliminary. All triggered by the breaking of a wire and interrupting a circuit. FWHM flash durations were about 10us.

Here are a few details of the fast flash setup:
