DocM Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 We would probably call it monochromatic HDR - NASA used a 2x3 grid of high speed B&W cameras each set to a different exposure to see the details of a solid fuel rocket engine plume. in this case STS-134 - the next to last shuttle mission. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Neat, but the pseudo-3D effect (where things keep shifting around) is rather annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
articuno1au Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 It's an artefact from the merging of the films, but yes, it's annoying >.< Extremely cool though >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_K Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I think you'll find that's from the force exhurted onto the ground and the shockwaves which cause the cameras to shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
articuno1au Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Which, when the 6 cameras are merged results in images that don't line up correctly, and thus the artefacts. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I figured as much, but you'd think they would have done a little more image stabilization on the videos in order to eliminate it. It was hurting my eyes trying to watch it.
