After a new lick of BLUE and gold paint. It was last painted in 1991 ish but this "time" it's 'stourbridge' blue.
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
"How do you build a clock that will keep perfect time for 10,000 years?" www.discover.com/issues/nov-05/cover/ Accurate clocks don't last that long, but some disagree with me. Sundial anyone?

Town Clock
This is the old graveyard and all that remains of the ancient church on the tiny Channel island of Alderney. the old church was demolished, except for its clock tower, when the new church was built in the 1800's. this now serves as the town clock in St. Anne. Note that there is a Sundial under the clock.

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.
Single Nixie clock made from a former brass table clock using a PIC16F628A and Russian 74141 decoder. Based on the circuit and software found here www.electronixandmore.com/nixieclocks/3.html.
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.

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...

After an earlier shower, the puddle provided a nice reflection of the clock at the entrance of Bang Sue Grand Station
Close up of the workings.
The Porthmadog town hall is located at the Maritime museum in Porthmadog, the trustees of the museum need to have the clock removed from there as they wish to have the room to display more exhibitions.
The town council I have been told have been told about this but are not interested.
It is a shame that it can`t be put together again
The clock was presented by Francis William Alexander Roche grandson of William Alexander Madocks during it`s construction in 1846
My thanks goes to the attendant at the museum for letting me view the clock
Paper clock created from two simple pieces of chipboard and a clock face. The fin locks into the base of the body to make it stand.
DCF77 Master Clock
Uses Arduino ATMEGA 328 IC, 1" Max2719 controlled 7 segment display with I2C 4x20 Yellow LCD information display.
Displays auto activated by PIR detector and auto brightness is set by LDR.
The DCF77 signal is decoded using the fantastic new DCF77 library written by Udo Klein.

Clock Knot by Mark di Suvero on the University of Texas campus, Austin Texas, August 26, 2009. The monumental sculpture Clock Knot is located on the northeast corner of Dean Keeton and Speedway, and stands 41 feet tall. Mark di Suvero (born as Marco Polo di Suvero) is an American abstract expressionist sculptor born in Shanghai, China in 1933 to Italian expatriates. He came to San Francisco, California in 1941, and attended the University of California, Berkeley. While working in construction, he was critically injured in a freight elevator accident and focused all his attention on sculpture.
