Shinjuku station, Tokyo

**Super slow motion shots always look cool, but this is one of the most creative uses for a high speed camera that I have ever seen**

 Adam Magyar is a photographer based in Berlin who like to create images "on the borderline of still photography and motion pictures" He has made a series of images using a scanning camera that takes a single vertical line of pixels, usually used for checking production lines, to create haunting images of the people arriving on a Subway train.

### Shooting at 600 frames per second

But then he had the idea of turning it around, and filming from the train as it arrived at the station.  
By shooting with a high speed camera running at 600 frames per second he uses the train as his own personal dolly, the camera tracking along the platform, creating a beautiful slow motion tableau of the passengers waiting for the train to arrive.

Take a look at this video of passengers at Tokyo's shinjuku station:
