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...
Took this at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The clock mechanisms are exposed, and you can get to the inside and "look out" from a walkway. The watchman in the tower took a moment's break, and I caught it. This was in color, but I like the B&W better (see next pic).
To me, CMU is like jail. When I was in, I wanted out. Now that I'm out, I want back in. Anyhow, here's the nice clock.
The famous Wells clock is considered to be the second oldest clock mechanism in Britain, and probably in the world, to survive in original condition and still in use.
The original works were made about 1390 and the clock face is the oldest surviving original of its kind anywhere.When the clock strikes every quarter, jousting knights rush round above the clock and the Quarter Jack bangs the quarter hours with his heels.

My MIL has this big grand-father clock in her living room. I thought it had a neat design, as well as the "pendant" having a cool, convex reflection.
Fr: Ma belle-mere a une horloge suisse chez elle. Je pensais que son design etait sympa, ainsi que le reflet convexe du "pendant".
