Artist Research - Harold Edgerton

Harold Edgerton was an electrical engineering professor at Massachusetts institute of technology, who was well known for his work with the stroboscope and deep sea sonar photography. Edgerton had a passion for photography, with many of his photos being fast shutter images of light bulbs being smashed with hammers and fruit being shot with a gun. His fast shutter speed photos really show off moments frozen in time at a point of impact either from a hammer or a bullet. I shall use Harold Edgerton photography as inspiration for a third artist response and will utilize the shutter speed and aperture settings to allow me to capture frozen moments in time while keeping the subject at a good exposure level.
