5 commentsHoward, a cool idea here well executed too. A neat take....
btw: "Even a broke clock is right twice a day"........
Very original - somehow it makes me think of 1930's Art Deco. I wonder why you see a sharp minute hand, and then another much fainter and later one? Why not the hand blurred over the 13 seconds? I guess that digital watch minute hands also move in jerks, as the seconds hand? I never thought of this before....
Thanx for commenting Alberto.
I pulled the stem of this automatic watch, stopping the movement. Except for the faint second hand you see that moved back & forth slightly during the 13 second exposure..
OK, so the faint hand is the second hand, and the sharp one the minute? And I should have noticed that it is not a digital watch, but one never knows whether an electronic drive may be hiding under all of those wheels
Hey Howard,
Man !
This was 'Time Well Wasted' with amazing results. Nicely planned and executed with some sweet colors and detail.
