This is the same model clock many small towns have, but I liked being able to get a picture with nothing in the background except sky.
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.
This is a picture of a clock cube that changes colors.
Nothing fancy as such, but I wanted to show all the colors in one picture. I could have opted for a mozaic, but I chose to go the animated gif route. Scroll down to see the animation.
Each color is a separate picture, all taken on a tripod, with the remote release.
f/8.0 - 1/2s - ISO100
In a first version, the colors were posterized, due to the conversion from jpeg to gif. It needed a conversion to indexed mode, with the Floyd-Steinberg dithering algorithm.
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.
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

37/365 (1894)
A lovely day out with ianbartlett for a wander around Tunbridge Wells. I decided to look up and snap some of the clocks, for the 365 treasure hunt, number 22 "Clocks".
PS ... not all the clocks told the correct time!
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 3d printed a fully mechanical clock on my DIY 3d printer. Got it working this evening. :) I learnt a lot, but now to make it better!

Clock King -Clock King is here to have revenge on both Batman and Mayor of Gotham ,he has planned every second of his revenge ,and when it comes to clocks,he is the king.
At one of the Hack42 Hacktiviteit events, I created this Daliesque melting clock out of an Ikea "RUSCH" wall clock. I used a paint-stripper to soften and melt the plastic.

I would have liked to fit all the clock inside the picture. But I only used my 50 mm lens and there was plenty of glints on the display case. That was hard!
J'aurais bien aimé tout faire rentrer dans le cadre, mais au 50 mm et avec tous les reflets sur la vitre, c'était difficile...
This clock was originally in front of Kern's Department Store on Woodward Avenue. When Compuware built its headquarters, they had the old clock restored and placed it near its original location. The dedication ceremony for the reinstalled clock was held November 21, 2003. Susan Lambrecht was present, representing the Kern family, Peter Karmanos was present as the CEO of Compuware.
For an historic view, see here.

"The Ernst Kern Dry Goods Company, originally located at 161 St. Antoine in Detroit, was established in 1883 by the father of Ernst and Otto Kern. Ernst, born 1875 in Germany, and Otto, born 1878 in Germany, came to the United States with their parents in 1883. In 1886, the store was consumed by fire and was rebuilt at Randolph and Monroe, and by 1900 the Kerns purchased a five story building at Woodward and Gratiot to accommodate increasing business.
Following the passing of their father, the two brothers took over the business in 1901; Ernst as president and manager, and Otto as secretary and treasurer. After World War I, additional space was once again needed for expansion, and the brothers acquired the adjoining nine story Weber Building. In 1929, the store was demolished and a new store was erected in September 1929.
Ernst Kern passes away in 1948 and his brother Otto took over as president, buying all the stock from his brother’s estate. Otto’s sons, Richard and Ernst, joined their father in management of the business. However, in 1957 the family decided to sell Ernst Kern Co., one of Detroit’s three largest department stores, to Sattler’s Inc. of Buffalo, New York. Following numerous corporate problems and changes in management, the store closed its doors for the final time on December 23, 1959.
In 2003 Compuware, which owns the old Ernst Kern department store building, had the original Kern’s clock restored and returned it to its original location on the corner of Woodward and Gratiot Avenues."
