Hi and thanks to all the comments. Out of luck this happened to be the first bulb i dropped. As some of you guessed it was dropped onto a mirror, i was trying to get the bulb to smash with the bayonet fixing also in the reflection to show it was a mirror. The bulb was white and the hue's were changed to give a blue look. On the original there was small bits of glass flying, i cloned these out as they were so small they looked more like dust particles. Cheers :-)
Kudos to you if this motion was really stopped here. It appears that the bulb has been placed on a mirror. Unusual to see a bulb dropped and not have some pieces flying out a little. Hmmm. Will be interested to see how you did this after the challenge. Did you shift the color hue some to get the bulb greenish blue like that?
this is a very striking shot; it particularly stood out from the other thumbnails... the luminosity of the bulb is one of the factors that give this the Wooooh factor that a lot of the other bulbs have - it almost looks like it has liquid within it. it's let down slightly by the harshness of the bayonette fitting at the top, but other than that, very effective and well done on the exquisite timing. 9.
