Trashing the Bulbs

I spent Saturday with Nathan Marx in my garage capturing images of shattered light bulbs.  It took us some time to get things setup just right but after trying a few different techniques we were able to capture a few good images.

We used an air soft gun and a sound trigger.  The trigger was attached to a strobe that would flash when the gun was fired.  I included a behind the scene shot of our setup.  We ended up using two bare strobes with snoots, we found that the strobes would freeze the bullet better than our studio lights.
