I've submitted an image similar to this one for a previous challenge when I first developed the system for shooting this typw of stuff. Ir wasn't too apropriate then but I think it fits right in with "Action"
The synchronizing system is purely mechanical with no beam splitters or electronic sensors etc.
Shot witha Nikon D2X and a Nikkor 70 - 200 f2.8 VR lens 1.6 seconds at f4 (Exposure by SB800 flash through a diffuser set to Manual 1/128 power to freeze the action,.
Some levels and saturation adjustments

pretty agressive

lots of light globes must have died of this challenge - but this is the best of the lot IMO

Oooooooh. . .NICE job!!!! I wonder how many light bulbs you had to break to get this oh-so-perfect shot! It was worth it tho because this is about as perfect a shot as you could get!

Great photo!

Good timing, focus, and desaturated color. How many did you break before you got the shot you wanted? 9

Excellent!

Bit of a DPC cliche shot, but a well done cliche. I just wonder if it would have fitted a little better in this week's Stopped Motion challenge.

Assuming this wasn't done with strobes, which really freeze the action, my hat is off (if I had one) to you for the timing on this. Let me guess - 23 lightbulbs to get it right? jk

A couple of us have talked about doing this... kudos for trying it out. Awesome execution (and great choice on the hammer). How many bulbs did you go through???!!! This should do VERY well. 9 (and a fav) :o)
