Abstract

A project laboratory for the application of electronic flash sources to measurement and photography. First half covers fundamentals of photography and electronic flashes, including experiments on application of electronic flash to photography, stroboscopy, motion analysis, and high-speed videography. Students write five extensive lab reports, which may be suitable for the Phase II Writing Requirement. In the second half, students work in small groups to select, design, and execute independent projects in measurement or photography that apply learned techniques.
