Installed c.1390; one of the oldest medieval clock faces in the world. On the quarter hour jousting knights go round in tournament.
Man on the street might just as well be...
So I am asked, "What's the picture of the clock for? Are you creating some sort of documentary of your life?" My response, "Yeah, something like that I suppose." Sheesh, I always thought I was just a simple camera nut, the question got me thinking, "just what is the goal here?"
...outside, outside the world, out there you don't here the echos and calls.
The Fob watch, designed by Seiko, was given as a gift to the people of Melbourne. The watch has a twelve and a half metre, two tonne chain, which was taken down during the centre's refurbishment and has since not been re-attached. Every hour, on the hour, a marionette display drops down from the bottom of the watch with Australian galahs, cockatoos and two minstrels performing Waltzing Matilda, under the watchful gaze of some koalas.

Blindly wafting seed-heads in the sky
specks of mankind floating through existence,
precariously drifting through their lives
advancing on the path of least resistance.
Tick tock dreams pulsed with passioned vigour,
like summer blooms they peak then slowly fade,
on fragile seeds they count the passing hours
as minutes of their lives are swiftly played.
Too soon the seconds scatter on the wind
squandered seeds of time frittered away,
blown out wasted dreams left unfulfilled
more welcoming tomorrow than today.
On fluffy parachutes they softly spin
in slipstreams of a cold decaying breath
like the dandelion clock, lives are frail
just whirling seeds hooked in their dance of death.
Push 'L' and then F11 to view BIG!
It's easy to take photos of model trams, the real fun is when you run them to a timetable with a fast clock.
The program on the laptop is free from www.dotric.com.au/trains/FastClock.htm
This program allows the operator to schedule sevices by destination, set the time ratio, count down for the next three departures plus stop, pause and edit. The previous set up I had was a reworked clock face ( set 3:1 ratio) and a excel spread sheet.

Clock towers were first built in Ottoman territories in the 16th century and would often also function as barometers, windmills, compasses, fire watchtowers or meeting points. After the decleration of the Republic of Turkey, cities were built around clock towers, especially in Anatolia. Only 52 of 144 clock towers built during the Ottoman period still exist today.

Saat kuleleri Osmanlı topraklarında 16. yüzyılda görülmeye başlandı; saatçiliğe meraklı olan II. Abdülhamid’in tahta çıkışının 25. yıl dönümünde (1901) valilere gönderdiği “irade” (ferman) ile vilayet ve sancaklara yayıldı. Halkın görebileceği yüksek bir tepeye, şehrin en kalabalık meydanına ya da kale, cami gibi tarihî yapıların üstüne inşa edilen saat kuleleri, aynı zamanda barometre, rüzgâr gülü, pusula, yangın gözetleme yeri ve buluşma noktası işlevi görürdü. Cumhuriyet’le birlikte özellikle Anadolu’daki kentler, kuleler çevresinde meydan oluşturulacak şekilde kurulmuştur. Osmanlı döneminde yapılan 144 saat kulesinden 52’si günümüze ulaşmıştır.

The four-faced Boston University clock on Comm Ave opposite Warren Towers -- the huge BU dormitory.
Taken and originally posted in March 2007.
This is my first attempt at what is commonly called HDR. Since this was a night photo I could not get the exposure right for both the scene and the brightness of the clock. I took two photos, one properly exposed for the clock faces and one for the rest of the scene and selectively blended them in Paint.NET to create a single image with proper exposure for both elements.
View of the clock face inside the Cathedral. Located in the north transept, it’s an astronomical clock inside but an ‘ordinary’ one on the outside. The original mechanism dates from between 1386 and 1392, but was replaced in the 19th century, and eventually moved to the Science Museum in London, where it continues to operate. The dial represents a geocentric view of the universe, with sun and moon revolving around a central Earth. Above, every quarter hour a figure comes out to hit two bells, and a pair of jousting knights chase each other.

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back fiddling with the Doughnut Board clock and I discovered that I had very nearly finished the mainboard! Even more very nearly than I'd thought. All I needed to add was one wire and a clock crystal, then install the chips.
...oh yeah, and one resistor I forgot to put in. Very luckily there was a place for it, since it's a fairly important part.
And with that, there was nothing for it but the inevitable bolting to a crudely-sawn piece of wood scrap and carting it upstairs to the software development zone.
So now, though it may not look like it, this circuit is a functioning clock. I was able to send a preliminary version of the clock software to the microcontroller (MCU) and monitor it through the debugging cable from the Development Environment of Kings. That allows me to start the program running on the circuit and watch its progress on my laptop's screen - what an age we live in, that this can be done with cheap hardware!
Currently the circuit just sets the time to twelve seconds to midnight, then I can watch the display tick over to 00:00:00 in the laptop's chip memory viewing window. Not quite as cool as seeing it on the actual nixies, but in its own way pretty awesome and a big rush knowing that I put at least that much of the circuit together properly.
A high end alarm clock concept for contemporary living spaces. It is clean, uncluttered, and pleasant to look at. It is designed to connect to your iPod, media ready PC or cell phone for alarm music. Interaction is simple. The user experience is streamlined.

I used an old Canon optical image stabilizer lens [EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM] on an EOS 450D DSLR. With exposures of up to a 1/4 of a second, most of the images had to be discarded, and the remainder are very "grainy" / "noisy", but the pictures at least form a sort of record of the event...
This is the finished shot of the Ice Tube Clock I built from an AdaFruit kit. Worked the first time.
This clock uses an Arduino to display the incoming DCF77 Radio Code and also display pulse information. It is based on the clock by edr1924 here www.flickr.com/photos/edr1924/albums/72157646579220681
The clock also uses a 2nd Arduino to filter the incoming signal if required
Clocks are omnipresent in modern life. Make a photo of the clock, watch, or other device that you use most to tell time. www.dailyshoot.com/assignments/194
Ok, ok so maybe it's not the clock I use the most, but I've already photographed my cel phone and I do use this all the time. I carry my camera with me everywhere and I find myself reaching for it when I want to know the time or date.
For those who don't know - Hold the FUNC. SET button while turning on the power or hold FUNC. SET if the camera is already on. Yes it's in the manual. Also works on the S90.
