This is the last of about 40 attempts, none of which am I completely satisfied with, but I'm happy enough with this one. Taken in a completely dark room, open shutter on remote, rapidly turned a desk lamp on and off while the metronome ticked away in order to capture the pendulum in different positions. Then manually fired a flash when the pendulum was vertical and motionless before closing the shutter. Not perfect, but it was fun experimenting.
Would love to know what others think of this.

Oh Mr. Metronome, how I hated thee! LOL Seriously, did you notice that the metronome has a face and how it looks like a "serious" music prof?? The flute is mighty beautiful too :) Nice composition!
This is an awesome slow shutter shot. You should consider moving the music page out of the picture or almost all the way out. It takes the focus off of the metronome. Oh....and now I see the flute...I didn't even see it before. The metronome by itself would have been great!
