Talking A bit about my gallery Oops!!! shot.

A harder job today. It took all afternoon to make up the sequence even though I only did 8 drops. A couple missed the trigger altogether. Not so easy doing this in a dark room.

The first job was to remove some screws from the camera so it would break apart on impact.
For each drop the camera was fully assembled minus the screws I had removed. So for each drop the camera had to be re-assembled, and the top foil sheet from the trigger replaced. In order to try and change the delay, tension on the top foil was increased from a bit slack to drum tight.

The trigger was the same impact job as in 'Lights Out'. Lighting was also the same with the addition of a reflector on each side.

To increase dof ISO was upped from 200 used for the light bulb to 400 allowing for an aperture of f8.
