2 mm painted white steel ball jumping on granite tile

 

OK, dark room, exposure long enough to allow ball to travel through the whole frame. Strong side light set @ 4500K to make trace yellowish. Side flash in repeating mode. Adjust frequency so you get desired "number" of balls. Number of flashes to cover whole trace. Flash color is 5000-5500K, which illuminates the ball when it freezes. Trace is 4500K. This slight color difference makes ball pop. Apparently, the hardest part is to eliminate light reflections on the dark background, so set it as far back as possible. Try it, it's not that hard as it sounds
