Evening at the St. George Sailing Club. Many a punter is attracted to the pokies and the alcohol. San Souci, New South Wales, Australia
I am strangely drawn to clocks
the strange part is
none of them are set
none of them actually run
and
I don't own a watch
I am obsessive about being on time
I am never late
perhaps I know that
setting them
would me me
more obsessive......
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.

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.

Supposedly the wisest of birds, this astute little owl found its perch only recently, though the Seth Thomas clock has been in the family since 1864. The bird's presence in this spot is a good reminder since wisdom takes time to acquire. My great grandfather bought the clock when he was seeing military service at Ft. Vancouver, WA, in that year - a pretty wise purchase for a lad of 19, I think. The statuette was cast in India, so I hope it brings me some of the wisdom of the sub-continent. The clock was in my grandmother's possession during my childhood. Then it went to my parents, and now, just this last week, it has come into my care. It's a treasured item and brings many memories.
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.

Here's the latest electronics project I finished. - A clock made of old Nixie Tubes.
It was a full kit that I ordered out of England. It took about 6 hours to build at a leisurely rate.
Years ago, I used to work at a PBS station. It had a Master Control room, full of decks and monitors and buttons and whatnot. It was where satellite feeds were recorded and shows were played back. So, everything runs on time, having a clock was pretty essential.
Being a PBS station, even the clock was a kit of some sort. It kept horrible time and and we made fun of it on a regular basis.
That being said, I had a fantastic time working there and made a bunch of friends that I keep up with to this day.
So, that's why I wanted one.

The clock tower in Market Place, Bexleyheath. The bust is of William Morris. On the opposite side is King George VI remember it always looked larger, perhaps it is the surrounding buildings which have grown.

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.
Online Time Clock Free Software – Employee’s time and attendance tracking with Zip Clock’ punch clock management software and app. Keeps employee time tracking.
Our Young Women's group is having a New Beginings evening next Tuesday and I've made these altered CD clocks as a handout for each of the girls. The theme of the night is 'Now is a great time to be a Young Woman' hence the clock and the quote is the 13th Article of faith which is our theme for 2011. They took me ages and I haven't done anything like this before so I'm quite pleased with the results. I just hope the girls appreciate them!
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.
