Shattered - Assignment

It shattered real good!! Excellent stop action! And dangerous! Hope you didn't get any glass in your eye or scratch a lens! How many lightbulbs did you have to go through to get this shot! hahahaha This is wonderful! WEll maybe I'll upload mine too - what the heck! Well done Dennis!

Five of the big bulbs and 3 regular light bulbs......

That must have been expensive! Mine was 5 buck at a yard sale!

These were the ones the builder put in the house and we are replacing all incadescent with the energy saving type. This was kinda fun... My egg shot didn't turn out quite this good.

Very cool shot Dennis!

Caught at the perfect moment...second!

And the dof is nice.

WEll this one is easier to clean up for sure! hahahaha

Wow, the timing is perfect! Great light and exposure, great mix of frozen pieces with motion blur. I'm not sure about the background, might prefer a higher angle looking down but... then the light might not have been captured the same way... and I do like the light in the base piece of the bulb.

I never had anything in mind but a low angle. I was hoping for the initial impact, but this one worked out well.... Thanks John

Dennis, this is a great image you manged to catch all the action with the bits of flying glass, I hate fot think how many bulbs you want through. Very well done Rich.

First i thought it was some kind of accident when i saw the thumbnail, glad it was a lamp, very original!

Excellent Action shot, you are fast with your shutter finger!

(Or did you have the camera shoot a bunch of times in the automatic drive mode?)

Either way, this is a shot to be proud of.

Set on High speed burst. I usually got one in before the impact and one after....

This is a cool high speed photo, and quite the literal take on this weeks title! LOL!

 

Cool!

But doesn't this seem almost 3D? Like those shards are jumping right out of the frame at my eyes! Which is really freaky cuz I had a light bulb blow up in my face once. But I didn't see it coming. This one I can see coming and it's kinda weird. I want to duck. No Steve - it's not a duck - it's a lightbulb.

I was pretty happy with this one... It does have an thickness effect. Thanks Jan...

This is cool Dennis.. I really like it. Nice take on this week's theme :)

Thanks... I enjoyed your theme...

This really looks cool I hope more people do these ~ frothing at the mouth! ha ha ha

Oh, missed this one...Perfect.....

 

Ger..

Dennis! Great minds think alike huh? This is way more creative than mine. Love the way you managed to freeze the motion so perfectly...well done.

hmmm these are the old thin ones that used to shatter in your hands or in the box. Oh I hated these.

 

During the lightning storms they would sometimes pop.

Nice stop action, Gray Beard! Excellent timing. Did you use a remote while you were tossing bulbs? I agree with Jan about the 3D effect this seems to have...very nice.

no remote trigger, just my cable (shutter) release while standing up. I had the camera mounted upside down to get it close to the ground. This was a series of three burst frames.

Excellent Gray Beard! Well worth all of the bulbs! Of course, I love the 3D effect and the clearity & detail are spot on! BTW, my daughter said this is "RAD!".

I'm glad I'm connecting with the younger generation!
