20 Exhilarating High-Speed Captures

For speed-lovers, these exhilarating high-speed captures will race their hearts to the maximum, as these images are packed with fast motion and sensational instances of perfectly-timed photography. In order to create mind-blowing photos, photographers rely on high-speed photography to freeze time and motion and, thus, capture a scene otherwise invisible to the naked eye.

High-speed photography is a technique that uses quick shutter speed to record a moment that lasts a fraction of a second. Therefore, everything from explosions to water falling is gracefully capture in the midst of action, producing outstanding images that photographed at a regular speed wouldn't have the same effect. For these reasons, photographers enjoy experimenting with a wide variety of objects and circumstances; for example, blowing up veggies and liquids, exploding vases, or splashing paint.
