Rush job. Lighting not as good as I'd have liked, but I've always wondered how this is done, and finally figured it wasn't as hard as I thought, so I gave it a try.
Like the motion of the second hand, makes me feel rushed for time!! I thought about taking a picture of my clock, too. Would be fun to see everyone's clocks.
Neat image. The challenge is a great way to experiment. Nice to see the clocks of other people; I have this view of my alarm clock every morning as I try to wake up and hit the snooze button (three times at least). I can't see it properly without my glasses, so it's always close to my face. I like your clock better; maybe I should get a red one :)
Great experiment. Love the effect and the exposure is just right. Would like to see a little more of the red at bottom, as it feels chopped off (more apparent in the thumbnail).
I agree about the chopped off feeling. As I said it was a rushed job, I was working with a prime lens and didn't have time to position the clock just right. Also, for some reason, my tripod doesn't seem to be level, so I had to rotate the image just a fraction, losing a little more off the bottom. Had it been for a challenge, I'd have needed to get the technical side of this image better, but it was just an experiment.
