Lello,
Provided you do not get bounce this works first time. So a test for exposure then hit the bulb.
I have just posted the latest in the gallery ( only had 2 bulbs ).
But here it is along with details of the trigger.
Well I added another layer of card but with minimal impact on slowing down the trigger point.
I have attatched a pic of the trigger which comprises three 6" x 4" mattes stacked and foil attatched to top and bottom. Budgie on my finger as I type this so I will do a graphic of the flashgun terminal tomorrow.
Trigger was taped to a table and covered with a cloth and the bulb placed on top.
For the exposure the camera was set to 2 secs to allow sufficient time to trigger it and hit the bulb with the hammer. Exposure was in a darkened room and so is controlled by the duration of the flash. In this case 1/30,000 sec.
