simply smashing bottle photo
CAMERA:
35mm camera
150mm lens attached to a bellows
Stop-action photographic example
SETUP:
This high speed stop action photo of a smashing bottle was made by attaching a 24 x 48 inch piece of drafting mylar to a small background stand with crossbar with 18 inches of the mylar sheet laying on a concrete floor. A soft light was placed behind the mylar with a second soft light placed at the front right of the impact area. I used a sound trigger to detect the bottle hitting the floor. The sound trigger was connected to a delay module which in turn was connected to an electronic cable release. I stood on a step ladder and released the bottle from about 60 inches aiming at a small X on the mylar as my target. It wasn't a exactly a bulls eye but the shot worked well anyway.
