[Leica] how to photograph a clay pigeon breaking in the air

[imagist3 at mac.com (Lottermoser George)]

Thanks Philippe. I believe that we tried it both empty and with a bit  
of water in it. In either case by experimenting with polaroids (pre  
digital) we determined that the criteria to achieve the effect we  
were looking for came down to the angle and the height of the glass  
when dropped. We definitely did not throw it. ;~) Too high a drop  
threw water outside of our frame of view. Too low a drop was simply  
unimpressive. Once we had the height figured out it became a matter  
of fine tuning the audio trigger. Not too soon or the glass hovered  
above the water. Not too late or we missed the flash.
