awsome picture AJ. I tried the "save for web" suggestion that you told me about and it works great.

Excellent idea AJ, very original, great also the way you get the motion in long exposure as also the splash at the hammer hit... original work at its best.
be well!

Many thanks, Ray. The D300 can be set to fire repeatedly during a long exposure, hence the two clear images of the hammer. The blur in between comes from the background lighting of a table lamp.
The "studio" is non-existant - it is a garage that sounds very much like yours, except that there is a car in it as well. Which means that anything to be subjected to this treatment should not produce too much in the way of sharp flying objects...

What a great shot AJ, I cannot pick up on anything here as I have never attempted this kind of photography. To me it looks perfect. I keep looking and looking and i am blessed if I can work out the HOW of it. You have the clear image at the start of the swing, the motion as the hammer moves downwards and again the clear image upon impact. Totally fascinating my friend. Well done and the World is your lobster . Impact on a piece of old expendable china, a hated ornament, oh wow the list could go on and on.
I envy you your garage studio. Our double garage has never housed any of our cars, it is the home of backup fridges and freezers plus wildlife foodstuffs, a bit of spare garden furniture and Heather's gardening pots, tools, devices etc etc. SO MUCH gardening stuff . Heather's passion is gardening and the reason why I post so much floral stuff.
Well done to you yet again AJ, I enjoy viewing all your experimental work while I lazily stick to the conventional. My very best wishes to you as always.......Ray

For me it is an art dear AJ, Yes it prompts me to thought and a sense of feelings, Imagination and the world of physics invisible and visible.. Thank you very much for your reply ..

Hey Parehan! It's just a single shot. I think I've got the technical side set up OK, but is it art? Maybe I need to get a smooth curve across the image from top left to bottom right, or maybe there's something I haven't thought of yet. This is definitely in the experimental stage!

Wonderful experimenting art.. Is it shutter or a combined of many shots together???I'm not a professional, but I'm trying to learn..But it is certainly superb work, physicist inspiring and wonderful colors..
Always peace and love,
parehan

Thanks for your in-depth comment, Marian.
The shot itself is not particularly difficult. I came up with the concept (no idea where from...), tried it, improved the lighting, improved the hammer action, got to the point where I could produce a good image every shot.
Sure I played with the technical aspects. The main thing is the lighting - I've got a lamp shining at the hammer, and use the on-board flash in repeat mode to illuminate the hammer twice. Sounds involved but it's all very simple really.
But I just feel there's something missing. Smashing my finger? Now there's an idea!

wow!! not an easy shot I believe dear AJ!!!!
you have caught the falling hammer so well and so clear!!!
my knowledge on techicalities is almost zero but still I do not see anything that needs improvement....
as for smashing something choose whatever you want as long as it is not you finger :)
warm regards
