Gee, what does everyone have against light bulbs in this challenge? LOL!

So close...not quite there with the shutter speed as the hammer head and flying pieces are blurred a little. Lighting is good overall. How many bulbs did you go thru to get this shot? ;^) Good luck.

nice, if cliched, idea. hard to guess how this will turn out. i know this takes a bit of effort, but, the hint of blur really takes away from the shot. i really doubt if i'll ever try this (unless, of course, a client is paying for all the bulbs...).

how many bulbs did you go through? Nice work...perhaps the dead space at the top is not necessary
