Stop-action photography captures a moment in time so short that it would otherwise have gone unnoticed. The basic technique is this: 1) turn off all lights in the room 2) open the cameras shutter 3) break something and at the same time 4) trigger a strobe to capture the moment.
I used this technique for all the lightbulb photos.
BB Implodes Lightbulb
In BB Implodes Lightbulb, I triggered the strobe with a microphone placed near the bb gun. The speed that the sound traveled from the gun to the microphone was about the same as the time bb took to reach the bulb, resulting in a well-timed photo.
