This photo was taken at a night i was bored. It is a black and white-macro of my watch with an exposuretime of 15 seconds. The shot looks better when zoomed in, because most people fail to notice the second hand.

Very nice image. I haven't been here all that long myself but I don't think I've ever seen the first two posts of someone be so good. Again, welcome, and definitely looking forward to seeing more from you.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

Excellent shot - boredom is the mother of creativity (or something) ;-)

Nice idea ! I didnt notice the seconds at first sight, but then i read your comment ... What I find great is the fact that it captures 15 seconds of the time all in one intemporal picture : even if you catch a glimpse of this picture, you have been watching for 15 seconds !
You must have a tripod to look downward for 15 seconds, dont you. Besides it must have been diffucult to have the adequate light : it looks like a da

I indeed used a tripod for this shot. And the light was not a problem. My monitor and a light on my desk were enough. :)

Furthermore I want to thank all of you for your comments!

This has been in my favorites gallery for a long time and will continue to be there. Someone do something about the C-index! I don't want this image to dissappear!

This is really creative. I am not sure what to say beyond that, but I love it. Keep us guessing!

Arg, that C-index should be about 200 points higher. Who is with me?!? *leads a revolt*

Thank you all. Indeed, most people do not see the movement of the second hand. Maybe that is why my C-index is a bit lower. :(

I have been proudly displaying this image ever since, but all good things must come to an end. Urg. Even so, it still deserves recognition. I am sure the grammatical structure of the following expression of popular culture is questionable, but "mad props to you."

I've often thought about trying this same shot, but never figured that it would work out. I always thought the second hand would just blur out and you wouldn't be able to see it. I might have to try this now. I'm thinking a full minute might be interesting. Perhaps then the second hand would become less noticeable, but perhaps a couple of exposures could remedy that. I will have to try:P.

No one wanted to pay to say something in my sig, so i will have to try and think of something creative now...
