Dragonfly landing movie made from 120 FPS still images from a Nikon Z9
May 17, 2022 15:03:39 #
Nikon Z9 was used to track and take images at 120 FPS of a Halloween pennant dragonfly landing on a very wind day. Then about 200 to 300 still images where edited into a 10 FPS movie so it slows down the flight of the dragonfly flight by factor of 12 times. Your eye can see a very small pause between frames but well worth watching. It would look better higher at a FPS but I like the slow motion of the dragonfly and allows you see what happens in a real time speed. This was not a one time shot I repeated 3 times in a row.

Doc, Some how I knew you would like it. Dragonfly season is just getting started here in Louisiana.

Great sequence. A lot of work, but a labor of love. The Z9 is an amazing camera.

Thanks Strodav, The 120 FPS Jpegs are a pleasant surprise in quality and I am hoping Nikon will increase Raw FPS on the Z9 with firmware updates. The CFexpress B cards are getting faster and the new Delkin just released now can out run the Z9 at 20 FPS RAW. The Z9 being the first shutterless/mirrorless camera plus Nikon reduced the size of high raw files by one half this would make me think future firmware updates with increase to at least 30 FPS Raw or more.
