anyone ever done any high speed (aka, Edgerton style) photography?

From what I’ve been reading, it doesn’t look like it would be too difficult. Seems to
be even doable with a good digital camera and the right equipment
(aka, hold the shutter open in darkness, then a very quick flash set off
by some sort of trigger, etc).

From poking around, it looks like hiviz.com
has about the right level of stuff for what will probabaly be another two month
long fixation of mine. And HiViz seems to be vageuly associated with the North
Carolina School Of Science & Math in durham, which is kind of cool
I supposed.

They’ve got kits for building flash triggers and delays, and some useful
looking docs.

I know several folks who are mild to serious photography nuts, anyone
tried this kind of stuff before?
