 Our wall clock, took it into a darkened area so I could use the 2 sec exposure and a flash to show a point in time.

I was hoping for some second hand movement but I could'nt seem to get that.

Very Basic editing.

A lovely clock macro and possibly the best of the clock shots. Bumping up.

I would think that the second hand should have shown movement if the exposure had been 2 seconds.

bit more in focus and this would be great,still a good pic!

This is the first clock picture I have seen in this challenge with no movement of the second hand. Was this really a 2 second exposure?

till?

nice shot over all, great focus also. i think the lighing is nice here but could've been improved bye the use of another light from the bottom of the fram to help calm the shadow of the hands

was this a 2sec exposure ? the seconds dial didn't move at all here

This doesn't look like a 2 second exposure to me. I would have expected some motion in the shot.

Yet another second hand. This one doesn't even show the motion of the second hand. How can it be a 2-second exposure?

If this were a two second exposure, shouldn't the second hand have moved at some point? Other shots in this challenge seemd to have captured the movement. I do like the lighting and it is a good crisp shot.

Is this clock not working?

there's something about a long exposure that really seems to bring out the richness of an image. This is awesome!
