Groundhog Day by harveyzone

Groundhog Day

Today is Groundhog Day, and in honour of the very enjoyable Bill Murray film, (but not necessarily Punxsutawney Phil and his colleagues), I thought a time theme might be appropriate.

This is my attempt at showing time repeating over and over again. I originally tried to do this using mirrors to repeat a clock, but I managed to get myhand, face or camera lens repeated rather more often than the clock, I kept running into depth of field problems, and I struggled to control the background. So after several rather poor attempts I resorted to using a cheap webcam and a monitor. This is much nearer to what I was after. I couldn't quite get the colour balance right and ran into pixelation problems due to the web cam resoltion, but decided that 365 project referred to 1 photo a day for 365 days, and not 1 photo that took 365 days to produce so settled on this one. It kind of works.

Incidentally, Phil today predicted 6 more weeks of winter for our American neighbors, whilst just about every other groundhog predicted an early spring. Hmmmm. I think I would rather put my faith in John Kettley and his more scientific shadow.
In the words of half man half biscuit: John Kettley is a weatherman and so is Michael Fish, Like the cool shot!

Thanks. Sorry though... it was not Half Man Half Biscuit. It was by one hit wonders Tribe of Toffs.

Impressive - though it does me me wonder why I bother...!

You bother because it is not a competition but a developmental challenge to make you use your camera (I am clever for 9 huh!)
