Capturing moving water at high speed results in some very surreal images.

Watching a fountain and its never ending transitions as the movement takes on a life of its own is mesmerizing. You can however never see the kinds of images that high speed can capture.

Unlike frozen water, a high speed capture shows curves and textures and a sense of movement frozen in time, not in ice.
