18 Mar 2010In a blink of the eye, a lot can happen. A lot of astonishing things happen in a split of a second, but they are moving too quickly for us to see. High speed photography is the art of photographing a rapidly occurring event. Depending on the event to be photographed, methods range from use of ultra-short time flash exposures to producing lots of exposures in a split-second. Seemingly frozen in time, a lot of photographers have their own special method doing high speed photography. The usual photographic flash component offers a flash that lasts around a thousandth of a second (a millisecond). But photographic flash component used in high speed photography is so much quicker than this, and it creates a flash of light around a microsecond (a millionth of a second). This let you to freeze time through pictures that are happening tremendously fast.
It’s not easy to come up with a perfect shot while capturing rapidly occurring event, photographers that specialize in this type of photography are masters of patience. Below are some incredibly cool images that shows the beautiful combination of artistic expression and technical precision.

For a flash I would look at the 430EX and the 580EX both Canon flashes.
For portrait lenses I would suggest the Canon 50mm F1.8 ($100) or the 50mm F1.4 ($400). The usual lenses for portraits are between 85mm and 105mm on 35mm camera. Due to the crop factor for your camera the 50mm is very close to that range. It is also a very sharp lens.
If you are looking for a more all around lens look at the Canon 28-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM lens.
It is much better to stick with Canon lenses and other equipment if you can afford to. Some 3rd party equipment isn't bad but the original equipment is almost always better.
