Like Clockwork
by Morris McClung
I am sorry I have not posted in a while. I have been immersed in some projects both personal and work related so something had to be put aside, and unfortunately it was my time on this forum. I've missed the community here. I finally got the chance to get out. So I went to shoot the eclipse.
Yeah, it's magic to me how they know to the second when eclipses happen, but then again I never was that good at algebra or the more complicated types of math.
I took my first photo of the eclipse night before last near midnight, so the moon that is at 12:00 is that shot. Then as you go clockwise each image shows a different phase of the eclipse. At the 6:00 position the moon is at the middle of the full eclipse phase. And, finally, at 11:00 it returns to full. This is obviously a composite of 12 different shots put into the clock face arrangement. A lot of fun, both shooting and assembling this one.

This doesn't happen very often, so you ought to hang this one on your wall. Good job!

Grant, any clockmakers out there are welcome to contact me.
p.s. don't feel bad about the algebra weakness, I had no use for it in school, however, I had to know it during my military training......UGH!.....
