A picture of a watch without anything else is at worst an image of someone else’s art and at best can be a showcase for the photographer’s expertise at exposure and composition. This image has more meaning to me than you may grasp at first glance so I’ll complete the story here. SPOILER ALERT: It’s a bit long so if you’d like to skip it ... that’s Okay. Just remember to enjoy Today.
The title may attract the attention of a few people already familiar with the acronym. More later ... I purchased the timepiece pictured some 50 or more years ago and it has always been a disappointment ... it still looks almost pristine! It’s promise was that it was self-winding, that is by some engineering magic once it was wound and put on my wrist it somehow was supposed to stay wound enough to keep “good time”. Well, here’s the basic truth; if I wind it up and let it lay on the shelf it will keep perfect time until it runs down in a couple of days. If put it on my wrist it will randomly stop for 5 or 10 minutes at a time from the first hour on ... making it functionally useless!
In the mid-80s after a life changing event I learned that I can only live One Day at a Time (ODaaT). I realized this independent worthless timepiece is in fact a constant reminder that I only have today ... yesterday is history and tomorrow is not yet in play.
It has no other numbers than today’s calendar number and day ... today ... if I keep it wound. My every attempt to use it for my purposes by wearing it ... my actions ... screws up it’s basic time keeping function so if I let go and let it do it’s thing on the shelf all works just fine. I’m some 16 years into retirement and I removed my “working” watch the day I retired ... I know where time is being kept and I can freely live TODAY. If you got this far Happy Macro Monday ... and enjoy today. HMM Everyone.

My ritual ,burning my numbers pyro shredding watching them get less and less untill theyre ash and blow away on a gust of wind .A gesture of defiance against bills !
But then they come again so you cant win just pay!
Numbers are universal and are everywhere we look. I often wonder how the world would manage if there were no numbers.
What do you think?

Dreaming of my number ten
Who i see, every day when
I do measure, my feelings deep
That fill my day and my sleep
With sweet dreams, i do measure
With sweet thoughts of my treasure
Who fills my thoughts and my slumber
She is my ten, such a beautiful number
with much dismay my cassette player finally, after 20 years gave up the ghost. in a vain effort i took it apart in the attempt to revive, unsuccessful. this a photo of the innards of that faithful device.
While out walking yesterday 24th Aug. I encountered a spectacle that I had never seen before, not in these numbers anyway, there were at least 2000 Perch , Roach and Rudd. All swimming in a large mass just below the surface, some were very big specimens, but to deep to photograph. Luckily I was able to stand and look over a bridge down upon them, I stood for ages just watching them swirl around. Next thing that came into view were not 1 but 2 large Pike. The mood changed and they slowed and seemed to keep their eye on the Pike. Eventually the Pike disappeared and all was well. ''No kidding, there were at least 2000''. They looked beautiful with the sun shining down on them.
Hi everyone, finally getting back to my backlog, sorry for long absence! I took these back in April at Tring reservoirs, still not common locally, but slowly building up numbers. Will catch up asap with everyone's streams, hope you have all had a lovely summer!

In the Netherlands , more than 10 billion eggs are produced each year . On the average , the Dutchman consumes around 200 of them per year . All eggs are marked , and the number refers to the producer (i.e. the farm, not the chicken) .
"een ei" = an egg / one egg

After my experience of the picture"One Day Time lapse", which was composed of 1500 photos, I decided to come back in a "Another Milky Way" composed of 5000 photo taken within 48 hours. I said earlier in an interview with a foreign magazine that I always try to show natural things as abnormal, I mean, not because it is irrational, but to show how great it is.
If you have any question, please write it in a comment, and I will be happy to help you all!

بعد تجربة صورة "فاصل من الزمن" التي كانت تتكون من 1500 صورة، قررت ان اعود بصورة "درب آخر للتبانة" وهي عبارة عن 5000 صورة تم التقاطها خلال 48 ساعة. قلت سابقاً في لقاء مع احدى المجلات الاجنبية بأني احاول دائماً أن اظهر امور طبيعية تبدو بشكل غير طبيعي، اعقب على ذلك، ليست لانها غير منطقية بل لأظهار مدى عظمتها.

There are a lot of photographers don't know what does mean photograph many photos during a certain period of time .. The question is: Are all the 5000 images which taken during the 48 hours contains the same content found in the last picture?... The answer is simply no! .. The sun will shine in a time and sets at a time, and the moon as well and this means that part of the images does not contain the moon or the sun and at the same time when the photographer chooses a particular time for photographing the Milky way certainly in time with no existence of the moon or the sun. Overall, the photographer will receive a certain number of images for several moments (sunrise, sunset, moon, stars, etc.) for a full day or two days of photographing on one point or several connected points to be merged all together at the end. So, 5000 doesnt mean 5000 images overlayerd .. If you just overlayer it you will get NOTHING .. So i pick up the best momments (sunset, moving of the moon in 6 places, and the milky way, ) other pictures i use all of them to get the color of full day .. If someone thing its a big number, fine, but i like to capture big numbers of images, i have fun with it .. Summary of speech: Big nummber of images doesn't mean all the time "TIMELAPSE" and the Stars are lines or some poeple asked me about the disapperd 4994 moons in the picture. There are those who pick up a large number of images for a certain period of time to document the stages of one phase(exp. one day), like me, for example ..
