The shutter speed was not important, all I wanted was it to be open when the flash blinked. So it was in bulb mode, and I kept it open about 5 seconds, while knocking the pen on the table. |

Thank you!
I used a "StopShot" module from "Cognisys". It was connected to a cheap mono microphone (sound quality wasn't important here ;)) |

Each time I break a pencil point I'll keep this image in mind as from now on. Never realised that such a "simple" thing like breaking a point, could produce such a great image.
Congrats on the ribbon. |

Sure thing. The flash was obviously on the upper left (1/32th), pointing at the pencil. The room was dark. I had a standard white piece of paper on the table. The macro lens was parallel to the table: in fact there is no specific background, the transition from white to black is simply due to the absence of ambient light in the room. |

This is a fantastic shot. I love the impression of depth that's created by the flying shards of pencil - some in focus, and some in front of and behind the plane of focus.
And the composition and bold colour is great too. |

I am not sure about that, but I suppose it could work. My problem here was not the shutter speed, but the synchronization of the pencil's impact with the exposure: for this shot, the flash was triggered 9ms after the sound (the microphone being really close), so there is no way I would have done it by triggering the camera itself (takes about 100-150ms on the 5D).

Oh wow, I'm so thrilled with this result :-) Thank you all!
I really didn't think it would make so good, in fact I was really pessimistic when doing it. I had no good results after 130 tries, my fingers were hurting, and I was sleepy... decided to shoot some more just before going to bed, and this one appeared on the LCD screen! |
