stopping time


My new camera also allows me to capture images of very fast things. I used a shutter speed of 1/1250 seconds (.8 milliseconds) to photograph this dragonfly in flight. You can see that the wings are not in the same position, so they must be able to flap with slightly staggered timing. This probably gives it more stability and control. Cool, huh?
