Some were wondering how this submission was done....

With one standard flashlight, two coloured funnels and camera mounted on tripod in hand I started.

Set camera to a 15 second exposure.
Set the timer for 10 seconds.
Set up an object across the room to focus on.
Began the shot.... Got focus and started the 10 second count down.
I turned the light off in the room and positioned myself just in front of the focused object.
Raised my hands with the blue tunnel over the flashlight - turned on light and made a circle.
Turned flashlight off.
Dropped the blue tunnel and placed the red funnel over the flashlight.
Positioned where the clock arms would go, turned on the flashlight and made the two arms.
Flashlight off, moved below to the writing area.
Flashlight on, wrote Time out and turned flashlight off.
Waited for the camera to complete the remaining of the 15 seconds.
Turned room light on and checked the picture for results.

Easy eh? Not really as it's all trail and error.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Truly awesome shot! Will be interested to see a "How the heck did they do that" after the challenge is over! --10

is this a photo or a digital work of art?

It's hard to tell if this was done with a long exposure and someone "air drawing" this with lights. If that's the case....then WOW!

Wow, written with a flashlight? Very nice, however it was done. The colors on black are wonderful and striking.

Looks more like 11:40 to me. I like it too.

GREAT idea! Maybe not an original idea, but the most excellect execution of the technique.
03/25/2003 10:38:27 AM
neat!
many ppl took a shot of a clock.. you took the 'time' to draw a clock..
03/25/2003 10:24:37 AM

Looks more like 11:40pm. Pretty good shot.

Looks more like 20 minutes to midnight to me. Nice image. Balck background works for highlighting the neon timepiece. Two nice primary colors. Border matches blue of the sign. Well done.

It's NOT 20 to 12?? You sure?
03/24/2003 11:29:11 AM
Excellent! What more can I say? - 10.

Many pics in this challenge don't tell the 'time', in the other hand, you just mention it in the pic, which I think it's a bit overstate. However, this is cool technique. Even better if it's from light writing.
