Busy work day.. I d take an hour out of the middle of my day to work with Gabe on a physics project. His job today was to get a slow motion capture of a lacrosse player shooting on the goal. I put out a request to my geek posse to find a high sped camera and i found quite a few in the area.. None as cool as the edgertronic high speed camera that my friend Jeff at UVM  has. The edgertronic was designed by an MIT guy who. like me, had taken a class with ‘Doc’ Edgerton.. inventor of the strobe and of high speed photography.

We only bly had a few minutes to shoot.because the fields were being used for practice.. and both gabe and i had things we needed to do.. . I meet gabe and his friends at 3:15 and we set up the camera.

it took us a while to get the hang of the thing, but we finally got the shot we were after.. Here it is.. a sht on the goal at 1000 frames per second. How cool is that ?
