Shot of a metronome with 1 second shutter speed. There appears to be dust on the metronome, but it is actually noise caused by the lines in the metronome arm. Just played with the curves a bit.

Thanks for all the comments. I wish I could have spot edited the small dots from the darkness...I know it looks like dust, but it is actually noise from the arm swinging.

The lighting behind the metronome is quite beautiful. So is the lighting of the metronome is as well. That little triangle of light in the upper right corner seems a little distracting.

I like this picture. I wonder if you have people asking, what is this? Remionds me of my music lessons when I was a kid.

Nice take on a certainly antiquated (altho still used) method. I used to use a metronome every day when practicing the piano throughout my childhood. I like the colors and the overall composition, but the angle of the metronome is a little "off" to me and the blurred image of the pendulum is a bit of a distraction - might have been better to have one strong position highlighted. Still, overall a very unique and strong entry in this challenge. 6

Don't they still use these? I like the contrast between the orange and dark baground with the dark subject. the moving arm is a little distracting and might have looked better in a fixed postiion, however it must have been either luck or a lot of pictures getting the full arc of the arm in the shot.
