Cool stuff.

A good friend of mine named Greg Parker has designed a microsecond-level flash system, and has just built several units to play with. He's recently been shooting water baloons and eggs and such with a pellet gun and freezing the results in time.

I had the privilege of meeting Professor Andrew Davidhazy two years ago at the Rochester Institute of Technology here in New York. He has published many articles on the subject of stroboscopic and stop action photography. I also witnessed his demonstration of photographing a bursting balloon. Here is a link to his website:
