...not even on an old weathered watch. This watch is at least 25 yrs old. Still ticking. I've had the idea to capture the movement of the second hand for a while now, I finally did it. I took hundreds of pics but there was something wrong with all of them. Too many scratches, glare, all sorts of problems. I finally got one I can live with.
I don't think I need to tell you what the shutter speed was tho, hehe you should be able to tell just by looking at the pic.
I can't remember what aperture I used, I kept fiddling with it for hours and who knows which one I settled on for this pic.

Ah!! Just what I was suggesting for one of the other entries - the sweep hand blurred. Pity the watch is not "newer" scratches on the face glass lessen the overall impact.
I like the blurred second hand. Nice action shot of passing time. However, the watch is really warn, and isn't appealing to look at. A clock with some personality might have faired better.
