Check out Jeffrey Freidl’s Blog for a cool series of photos of the Nikon D3 shutter in slow motion. The work was done by Marianne Oelund. The amazing thing is the system she used. It’s not done with a high speed video camera! She actually photographed the sequence using another D3 shooting single frames. She used an oscilloscope to time the delay between the release of the second D3. Now, my undergraduate degree was in Electrical Engineering and I have an oscilloscope on the shelf, but this blows me away. I’ve got to do some research and experiments with this, way cool.
