Amazing! I have never seen a "pencil shot" like this! Very original.
It would be interesting to know the technique that you used. A trigger or a burst of shots? Anyway, congratulations!
Christophe Kiciak  Thanks a lot :-)
The flash was triggered by a microphone. I programmed a 9ms delay between the sound detection and the flash burst, so that some parts of the tip were flying around.
Angelo Bosco  That's great. I do not have this equipment, though I wish to buy it sooner or later. Your image is also perfectly in focus. Only a few of the broken pieces go out of the focus plane, but the most important one (the biggest piece) is perfectly in focus. All the best. - Angelo.
I just love this photo! Great work indeed! :)

Great idea and perfect result!
Could you please tell me (us) what did you use for lighting? And also the exposure time. Thanks a lot and congrats once again.
Christophe Kiciak  Thanks!
The lighting was done with a single 580EXII from the upper left, triggered by a microphone. I programmed a 9ms delay between the sound and the actual triggering, so that some parts of the tip were flying around. As for the exposure time it was done in bulb mode, around 5 seconds I think but it's not relevant.

Welcome Christophe,

Did you see the opening of the HBO series "The Pacific" ?

Nice visual.
Christophe Kiciak  Hello, no sorry, I don't know this drama, not even sure it was ever broadcasted in France?
Yakov Shvartz  You can view the opening credits here: http://vimeo.com/10167175

They used some charcoal for a wonderful effect. You will see why your work reminded me of it. I think the black charcoal has a strong effect.

Christophe Kiciak  Thank you. Great opening indeed, gives me ideas for other shots :)
