This photograph of the clock was taken on one of the cannon cameras. The photograph is apart of the shutter speed challenge from Photography One.The photograph was edited by adjusting the levels, cropping the image, and the photograph was taken at a 2 second shutter speed. Additionally, the photograph was enhanced by Burns. The reason why this is one of the better one of my photographs is that I enjoy the high metallic shin against the cool toned white wall, I also enjoy the "wave-like" shutter speed of the seconds hand, and I enjoy the enhancement of the hands on the clock through editing.
RESTORE!! (This was one of my New Year's "guidelines," to restore or repair old things and make them new again). I took an old clock that I have had since about 1967 and made it over into something quite different. It might be gaudy for some, but I like how it matches the multi-colored frames on my nightstand now.
Basically I cleaned up the old hardware and scraped old glue, then painted the wood parts of the clock gold. I then attached glass crystals in various sizes and colors to make something that looks like it could come from the thieves' cave that Ali Baba visits (or so I tell myself).
While I did this I watched the uncut version of 1954's "The Egyptian," directed by Michael Curtiz. OMG what a long and melodramatic movie!!! I saw it years ago but I had forgotten most of it.

Margate's Jubilee Clock Tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, although not completed until 1889. It had a Time Ball mechanism, mounted on a mast atop the tower, which was raised a few minutes before 1 pm each day and dropped at precisely 1 pm, thereby allowing residents, visitors and ships to know the exact time. This was, of course, in the days before wireless transmission of time signals. The Time Ball fell out of use many years ago, but following a suggestion by Arnold Schwartzman OBE RDI, a former Margate resident, Margate Civic Society raised funds to have the Time Ball repaired and brought back into use. This was successful, and a civic ceremony celebrated the restoration on 24 May 2014, Queen Victoria's birthday and the 125th anniversary of the Clock Tower's official opening. The Time Ball now drops at 1 pm each day and is one of only a handful of working time balls in the world. Photograph by Pamela Vallance. July 21st 2020.

Artist Bio: William Mortenson, (1897-1965) lived a quiet and secretive life but made quiet the impact on the art community, especially in the world of photography. Joseph Bellows Gallery described his art as combining "the notions of classical art and literature with the allure and phantasm of Hollywood." Mortensen had a studio in Laguna beach California and often made his living taking photos of Hollywood stars including Fay Wray, Cecil B. deMille and Marlene Dietrich. He later took promotional photos for L.A Sunday Times creating dramatic scenes with actors in costume. He was a master of lighting and wrote manuals on the subject along with the problems of posing. His developing techniques were unique and his alternative process often included manipulating his photos with razor blades or carbon pencils. His photos tended to be more adorned and dramatic challenging the concepts of the up and coming "purest" movement of the time. Many regarded Mortensen as the enemy of photography, treating his photos as a threat (perhaps to common sense), and excluded him from the elitist art communities. His photography fell out of favor with the masses and his career slipped away. Nude with Clock is one of many studio pictures taken by Mortensen. This image with the over sized clock and the woman stretching luxuriously reminds me of a combination between Salvador Dali and a Hollywood stage setting. The subject matter is both whimsical and bizarre.

Seiko Corona alarm clock. 1 day mechanical movement. Made in Japan
These clocks are immensely popular during the 60's and 70's
Only Time will tell and every clock tells a story....
The problem with clock is, once you got two they start to multiply..
It all started when I acquired my first clock a 1960's jap 7-day wall clock from a colleague of mine by the name of Wong Mun Lai, a clock collector

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock
Amazing time piece and fun to repair Next in line is those of the electromechanical design type
I love the working principles
At the time of writing, my collection is still growing....but has grind to a halt as my interest is now focus on nature photography
The clock is ticking and it is almost 5pm. It is rush hour and station and its surroundings are full of people going home from work.
Dial of my old clock which is behind a brass framed beveled glass. Below is a brass highly decorated facia with a face in the centre. Any information on this this clock or type of clock is most welcomed.

Another shot with the Sony RX1 and not very good Wide Angle Converter: Dorr HD Wide Angle 0.45x Conversion Lens
Soft as jelly around the edges and all the sharpness of the RX1 has gone with this.
A much better conversion lens is the Ricoh 0.75x GW-3 lens. More expensive but adds real versatility to the fixed lens of the RX1.
For those of you that were contacts on my other account before I deleted it, you know I opposed Videos on Flickr; however, ...
Maybe there is a place for it if it is kept artistic. This isn't artistic mind you, this is practice.
I am trying a little time-lapse photography. This is sorta photography... right? I just linked them all together. :) Please excuse the lighting, I am testing.
Anyway, this is a 27 second video comprised of 163 frames of "photography." The subject isn't interesting at all, but hopefully the technique works. I hope to do something with a landscape and sky when I get it figured out. Enjoy.
Comment to let me know what to change (or keep) to make this better. Framing was 6 per second.
Thanks.
Product photography for a client that needed clean and simple shots of different items, this was a part of a clock collection with a kinds of clocks, old and new.
Old wood and metal dB meter converted to 6 digit Nixie clock. Used the electronics from www.shop.nixieuhren.de/.
The tubes came from a Sobax (Solid State Abacus) Sony Electronic Computer from the 60's.
Made in 2006. Runs on 110VAC.
My clock gets set twice a year, next setting at 2am Oct 30th. To set, I use WWV tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html ... radio, not internet. Clock generally stays within 0.1 sec from one daylight savings change to another, accuracy about 10 ppb.
Right knob gives 1x10^9 per 4 divisions = 1sec/33 years
Atomic clock on top runs 1/4 second slow (circuit delay) but makes a good "sanity check" (something NASA doesn't always do).
There will be a leap second this year.
On Dec. 31, the clocks should read like this as they lead into Jan. 1, 2006:
23h 59m 59s ... 23h 59m 60s ... 00h 00m 00s. Normally, the seconds would roll from 59 directly to 00.
Unit has battery backup and selectable output frequencies of 50 Hz to 10 MHz. Designed and fabricated by Edhiker

New approach to the S2 clock project in evidence here.
So far the brief/analysis/specification pages are produced in much the same way as ever. The radical shift is in the generation of ideas approach. Here we borrowed an idea outlined in Kurt Rowland's 1968 book "The Shapes We Need". Amongst other things Rowland explores spatial relationships and really gets to the heart of aesthetics and visual beauty. Some things just look right and others don't. Why is this? Rowland seems to have a some good theories about this. This book was part of a series he released in the late 60's. I understand these textbooks were standard issue in Glasgow Secondary Schools Art Departments at the time. I don't know of any art teachers that used them much apart from my mother. Anyway this little card based exercise suited our purposes perfectly.
The current S2 course has seeen alot of changes over the last five years. We'll distribute the cours notes on the S2 Course page at: designandtechnologydepartment.co.uk in due course.

I used an old scratched CD, a discarded plastic lid from an "I Love Lucy" series box and a clock kit to make this timepiece. I wanted to create a unique collector's item that was whimsical and fun. I hope Lucille Ball's fans agree I accomplished my goal!
Here is a neat clock located near the castle that uses Chinese numbers rather than arabic. Though Chinese numbers are common enough to see in Japan, I don't see them used on clocks very often.
