Second Hand Time

My entry in the current macro challenge motion
the second hand ticking through time on our small dinning room clock. (just notice my camera has recorded the correct time and the clock is one minute slow) OMG.

That's fabulous - love the shadows, really looks like time passing.

[Hazel]

I feel as if I can hear that tick-tock! Creative idea, Peter.

[Peter]

@casablanca Thank you for finding the time to comment its appreciated, I'm afraid there are no shadows, the hour hand is still and sharp, the minute hand has a small amount of movement hence less sharp the three grey lines are the second ticking through the two second exposure:)

[Casablanca]

@pcoulson Ah, that makes sense then! I have never taken a photo of something that moved and had it show up in more than one place like that - very clever!

[Peter]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel I was looking for something static for clear macro focusing that had movement passing through the shallow focus point it was all I could think of at the TIME, lol:)

[Marcy]

Fantastic way to capture motion! Thanks for entering the macro motion challenge

[Peter]

@marcy0414 Thanks for coming up with a interesting idea, I do enjoy a challenge:)

[Rosie Kind]

A great shot for the theme

[Poppo Livy]

I have no idea how to do a macro motion but you obviously rose to the challenge Peter

[Peter]

@rosiekind Thank you for your great comments Rosie:)

[Peter]

@terryliv Thanks very much Terry macro is fine, so is motion its getting the together was the problem:)

[Dawn]

Cool shadows

[Peter]

@dawnee Thank you Dawn your comments are always appreciated, as I said to Casablanca above, I'm afraid there are no shadows, the hour hand is still and sharp, the minute hand has a small amount of movement hence less sharp the three grey lines are the second hand ticking through the two second exposure:)

Nice sharp macro motion shot Peter.fav

[Babs]

You will have to check out the speaking clock to get the correct time. Do they still have the speaking clock in the UK? At the third stroke it will be .......

[Dianne]

I like this simple, yet very effective image.

[Peter]

@peterlgrave Thank you for your comment and fav they are both appreciated Peter:)

[Peter]

@onewing I did check it out Babs, my camera was correct, and yes the BT speaking clock (TIM) started on 24 July 1936 is still keeping perfect time, since 9-Nov-16 it has a new voice that of Alan Sreadman to hear him click the link and view the video:) http://home.bt.com/news/bt-life/who-will-be-the-new-voice-of-the-speaking-clock-11364111432854

[Jorlam]

a well thought out and executed image Peter.. innovative is the word which springs to mind..

[Wendy]

Oh, Peter - you beat me to this! I was going to do the very same thing!
Grrr ... now I have to think of something else ... LOL!

[Peter]

@jorlam Thank you for your encouraging and welcome comments Jorlam they are always appreciated:)

[Peter]

@farmreporter No No Wendy don't be put off just go for it, the way you approach the challenge may be similar but the two images will not be the same, that is unless you have a Waterford Crystal cottage clock, lol:)
