High-speed camera shooting FROM a train - Boing... →
Graeme Taylor shot out the window of a train at 210 frames per second, reversing the usual trick of shooting and slowing down a high-speed object from a stationary spot; rather, he shot a stationary spot from a high-speed object.

And here we thought he’d been...

Not any more. I look at teenagers now, their little brows already furrowed with worries about extortionate house prices and soaring university fees, and...
