365 Project Day 42

Yesterday's picture was of my prototyping board that I was using to build a laser trigger for my flash.  Today's picture is my first attempt at using it.  I dropped this egg in the dark onto my sledge hammer and it passed through the laser and triggered the flash.  A couple things I can see I need to improve, 1. Block out the background.  2.  Change my circuit so it turns off the laser when it is tripped so it doesn't show in the picture.  3.  Program in a few microseconds of a delay so the egg is a little further along before the flash fires.  But overall, not too shabby for a first attempt.  :)
