Covers the core principles, key terminology, and what differentiates high-speed from ultra-high-speed capture for transient events.

Explains how lens choice, aperture, focus, and optical limitations affect image quality at extreme frame rates.

Reviews lighting approaches needed to achieve clear exposures when shutter times are extremely short.

Teaches how to reliably trigger cameras and synchronize timing with events so the critical moment is captured.

Provides practical experience recording rapid phenomena and understanding what to look for in the footage.

Demonstrates optical flow-visualization techniques used to reveal density gradients and wave structures in gases.

Walks through extracting measurements, timing, and qualitative/quantitative insights from high-speed image data.
