Moments occur everyday that go unnoticed by the naked eye, yet are very beautiful and exciting to see through triggered photography. Water droplets splashing and colliding, balloons breaking, even bullets piercing an apple can be captured with the right technology. Triggered photography, also known as high-speed photography and time-lapse sequences is nothing new thanks to pioneers like Harold Edgerton and Gjon Mili. Luckily, we now have the technology to capture such events with our camera without having to go to the M.I.T. lab.

In this four-day workshop, you learn how to use off-the-shelf technology to trigger your camera and flash to capture events that occur at speeds up to 1/20,000 of a second. On the other end of the space/time continuum, you can trigger your camera to create time-lapse sequences to show a flower opening in seconds instead of hours. You can even trigger your camera with smart phone and tablet apps that have intervalometer and a whole list of other functions.

We spend time in The Workshops state-of-the-art digital lab learning setup techniques for water drops, drop collisions, and sound-activated events. We go into the field to capture a bullet entering an object and capture insects in flight with a macro lens. Yes, Terry does go over some basic physics, such as water drops accelerating with gravity. But he makes it easy! Also covered are other types of sensors for capturing lightning and wildlife.

Open your eyes to the rarely seen world of triggered photography and create images limited only by your imagination.
