Color Exposure for High-Speed Photography of Some Events Requiring Artificial Illumination

K. H. Lohse

To maintain good quality of artificially illuminated scenes recorded by means of high-speed photography requires an adequate amount of illumination with several sources of light properly positioned. Bulk and expense of light sources for high-speed photography have tended to restrict the number used for any given scene, with resulting inferior picture quality. The United States Steel Corporation has developed an improved and less expensive multiple-source illumination system which provides sufficient illumination to produce good-quality color photographs at speeds up to 4000 pictures/sec. Some of the considerations necessary for determining correct exposure parameters are listed and an example is presented for determining a color exposure.
