Some interesting images. I do not think that any are faked.Like many things today we have deskilled the task with modern equipment which I feel does detract from their value.
Digital slr's, especially the pro type used by some sports and wildlife photographers shoot 8 frames, or more, a second with ease. It is common to simply machine gun a scene for a few secs. and select the best image, not much skill in timing there.
For an example of skill in timing I prefer this:
And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies
live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to
sea in a Sieve.
