Perpetual Motion.
Watch positioned at a 60 degree upright angle, with an off-camera 580EX II set at full output to freeze the second hand. I actually wanted to have the second and minute hand frozen at the end of the exposure using second curtain sync, but I didn't have enough time to figure out how/if this is possible with the flash set to manual and triggered via pocket wizard.
Camera on a tripod, with mirror lock-up because the tripod's not very stable; taken with a 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens.
Ambient light was turned down low enough to allow for a 15-30s exposure.
Original capture converted to black and white using Nik Silver Efex Pro antique preset.
