The thesis includes learning about "high-speed" photography, what it is, and what we want to achieve with it. We look closer at all the necessary equipment, which will enable or at least ease the process of creating "high-speed" photos. The thesis includes three different motifs of "high-speed" photographs: a splash of a slice of fruit, an explosion of a water balloon, and a reflection in a water droplet. For each motif, the process of how to make a photograph is described; that is, which equipment and which equipment settings we need, how and where to set up the studio (if we do not have the option of taking photos in a light-controlled room), and what we must pay attention to during the photography itself. We must imagine in advance how the final product should look like, whether it is necessary to combine several photos into one, and in what order to capture the photos if we need to capture more (if we take a photo of a splash of water in a glass, we want a clean glass in the final photo, so before we start splashing, we first take a photo of a clean glass with a clean surface). We will also learn about some common problems when creating "high-speed" photos, such as finding the good position of the speedlight so that it will illuminate the photographed object and the background, finding the right moment to trigger the camera and adjusting the trigger delay, and finding new solutions after a failed attempt. Finally, for each motif, it is explained in more detail how to process the images with the help of advanced software tools for processing photos (combining several photos into one, color correction).
