Ran a couple of tests with the new camera on its highest framerate setting.  Interesting results.

On the lathe, there wasn’t enough light, but I have some new ones worked out for when I am filming for real – the shed will look like it is residing in the near vicinity of the sun, and will be about as hot, but it will be good for any high speed shots.  Obviously, I won’t use those lights all the time, or even at full intensity, but they will be good when they are needed.

The GoPro is running at 240fps (frames per second), slowed to 12fps for the first test, and slowed to 25fps for the second (the lathe).  The lathe was running at 1000RPM.
