Ever seen neat photos of bursting balloons, splashing water droplets, exploding eggs. Taking these really neat photos is not very complicated.
Examples:
(taken by me @oomlout)
This is quite easy to achieve. You have a dark room, you open your camera shutter for a long period (10 - 15 seconds). Then you let a droplet of water fall through a photo gate delay then trigger your disposable camera flash.
(please bring these items along if possible)
-Digital Camera (any digital camera with a Manual mode (no need for a trigger socket))
-Disposable Camera with Flash (we are going to use the flash circuit from this so if you have a local photo developer sometimes if you ask nicely they'll give you a spent one for free)
-Transistor (general purpose 2222 is always good)
-Small relay (with a 5 volt coil)
-For Light (photo resistor & LED (bright) or laser pointer
- For Sound (pieze element (I have to experiment with sound triggering a little more but we should be able to get it to work on the day)
-Breadboard
-Jumper Wire
-Arduino
-Laptop (with Arduino IDE installed)
-USB A to B cable
(any questions add them here)
