Shot an Apple

It's perhaps the most famous dye transfer photograph. It's Harold Edgerton's .30 Bullet Piercing an Apple, circa 1964. High-speed cinematography was the key to “Doc” Edgerton’s remarkable series of motion studies, begun in the 1930’s. This much loved M.I.T. professor was the 20th Century Muybridge in his invention of the stroboscope which he used for studying the motions of life.
