		Early on, Edgerton experimented with the image of a discharged bullet, synchronizing the firing, the brilliant scintilla of light and the exposure of film to record the clean turmoil resulting from the act.
		During the war years, Edgerton was called on to aid in the effort, for which he devised a tremendously helpful technique of intensely strong flash lighting for aerial photography to be used in nighttime reconnaissance.
		Edgerton's captivating photographs can be seen as the record of scientific investigation and invention, as the aesthetic response to and enrichment of advanced technology and as outstanding examples of the use of cameras and light, regardless of intent or subject.

	In a Flash
		Edgerton preferred to describe his photographic studies of fractions of time as 'events' and his work was scientific but the aesthetic quality of the resulting images also won him considerable acclaim.
		Among the best known of Edgerton's images are the 1957 colour study in which a splashing milk-drop forms a delicate glassy coronet; and one of 1964 in which a luscious apple is shown in the moment before it disintegrates after being pierced by a bullet.
		Edgerton was aware of and indebted to his major predecessors in experiments with high-speed photography especially the work of Eadweard Muybridge (1830 -1904) who undertook a commission in 1872 to prove photographically that horses hooves were all off the ground at high gallop.
