Set up umbrella strobes on both sides, put ping-pong ball diffuser on camera flash.
Set for Bulb and used wireless remote.
Set up crackers using coat-hanger rack for top one to raise it.
Opened shutter, setting off strobes.
Removed crackers and manually triggered strobes again.
Closed shutter.
Also tried with 9 LED flashlight to create light cone, but it washed out the plate and crackers.
This took hours to get right, and then I found out I can take several pictures, so I abandoned this set-up.
