Re: Sensor-triggered photography

Lightning trigger - should be fairly easy.

Trigger to capture insects in flight. The idea is to use two crossed lasers, prefocus on the point where they cross and fire the shutter when both beams are broken. The mechanical setup may be more trouble than the electronics and software. A camera with very fast shutter response may help too. If flash is used, flash response time may be an issue.
