Thanks everyone for all the nice comments.
Achiral: The shot was actually taken mid-day in a sunlight room. I partially wrapped the clock and camera with black foam to get the exposure I wanted, and to control reflections.Here's what the setup looks like.
The hardest part of this shot -- aside from the dust -- was focus. Each time I modified the composition, I'd have to wait for the second hand to return to xx:35, and then had to work fast. :-)
e301 -- The clock is the sort that advances to the next second very quickly, then also stops quickly -- that's why you don't really see any motion blur between the seconds.
Swash -- Even though the second hand stops for almost a full second, I still needed to experiment with the angle of the camera so the photo would show enough of a side view. I had a few shots taken from a more vertical angle, and the second hand is hardly visible -- it's too thin. |

This is well done. I actually wanted to try and do an image like this for another project I have, but I haven't yet tried. The clarity and the detail (absent the dust) is excellent.
Good win for you! |

| Well, it's been done before, but I like the way this one looks. I would get rid of the dust flecks, if they're on the outside, and make sure the shiny parts are well polished. |

| Nicely done! The way which you have executed this technique is great. The angle which this was taken was a very nice touch and makes your entry stand out. |

| Very nicely done. Ticking second hand is nicely strong (not faint/transparent). Easy 9. Swash |

| Ah, the first clock shot that I like. And I seem to be getting all the good ones together. This is wonderful - is this a long exposure or multiple - the latter I'd guess, as there's so very little motion blur between the iterations of the second hand. Great work. Really great work. <edit> I've been out all day today shooting, and this shot has really stayed in my mind - one of the best shots I've seen on the entire site. One thing: coming back to it, those dust spots really bother me (if that's what they are) |

Of all the time elapse & macro photos, this was my favorite.
The elegant, yet simple clock face compliments the
equally simple second-hand. |
