SETUP:
This high speed stop acton photo of an exploding alarm clock being struck point blank by a 12 gauge shotgun blast was shot at night in an old barn using open flash technique. Eight small strobes dialed down to 1/16th power were placed behind plexiglas's and suspended over the set. The first strobe was connected to the delayed PC output of the delay module with the others slaved off the first. A laser trigger was used with the beam set about an inch behind the clock. The clock was sitting on clear plexiglas's with black seamless paper placed underneath. You can see the plastic case of the clock cracking and starting to come apart.
