Captured with a homemade sound activated flash trigger. I don't have a histogram review and I didn't have my laptop so the pictures were underexposed I didn't know it. That's why there's banding in the background. Aaaagggghhhh! In complete darkness, the flash acts as the shutter, resulting in extremely short shutter speeds. Visit www.hiviz.com for info on the trigger.

Really really really love this shot ... you inspired me to create my own sound trigger ... when you get the chance check out my profile for a few that I've done
This is an awesome pic. WOW........ its simply awesome.
Im sorry i took this long to comment on this - I found it by accident, while going through cameras section.
Its a great pic- there is no blur anywhere - the hammer or pieces of glass. Superb.
Well done.
real nice (must have taken a few tries to get that). the only thing that's hurtin it is the grain. this would be a tight shot if it was real crisp and sharp. maybe try a lower iso film or lower iso setting on your camera with more light if needed or lower your fstop
What a perfect capture! This is absolutely amazing the effect and the impact, just wow! I keep coming back to look at this. How many glasses did you kill trying this?
Stunning timing - did you use some kind of trigger device or a lot of luck, patience and wine glasses?!? I like the composition. The hammer and background are perhaps a bit dark and lack contrast, but everything else is quite good.
Nice capture. Is the glass actually breaking or did you place the shards on the background. I'd like to see a bit more contrast . Nice action shot. Jacko. 7
Funky! I might just need to see a "how'd they do that" on this one. It almost looks like the glass is not really in motion but frozen in that spot. Is that true? I love how the stem is totally intact, makes for a kind of drama. For technical comments, I'd have tried to make the hammer a bit lighter, but I love the range on the glass itself.
Unbelievable!!! You guys and your fancy equipment make us amatuers look bad. The only thing keeping this from a perfect score is that it's a little dark, which I gather is from the very fast shutter speed. Good job! - 9
Holy COW. I've seen many shots of breaking glass in this challenge, and none of them have really 'done anything' for me. I found myself wondering how I could do better and didn't come up with anything. THIS answers my question. Perfect in every sense. 10
I love the way you stopped the motion of the glass breaking. It's a great concept. The hammer seems a little dark to me thought. But that's just my preference. I think it is a fantastic photograph!
You have the basis of an excellent image here...I've honestly never seen such an orderly shattering of glass. Caught at a great moment... The shot nonetheless looks underexposed. A levels adjustment is needed to make some good highlights here :) ... you can also try doding and burning to lighten up certain elements of the photo... Hope you continue to work on it after the challnge!!
WOW! Great job! Only wish there was a little more contrast. How many wine glasses did you have to go through? =-p Can't wait to hear how this was done! 10
Absolutely fantastic... I love it... this is a very cool image... oh I hope you were careful picking up the shards of glass... very interesting idea! You caught it just at the right moment... very well done! How many did you have to break to get this pic? hehehe...
Great photo. Really original take on the 'broken glass' theme to include the hammer. Perfectly-timed shutter too - caught exactly the right moment. Excellent.
