Frozen Time

Hi,

 

I would be grateful if you could rate this sequence. No digital

manipulation of any kind was done, except coloring in photoshop.

 

Tx.

I agree with Mr Seal's comment on the effect of time. As the title of your collage suggest; a passage of time, then logically speaking, should not the clock reflect this claim?

 

If you decide to attempt this photo again, perhap you can try a slow shutter speed to further highlight then transition of time? (haveing the second hand blurred).

I should call the series "Frozen Time" and stack the individual frames in the different order... Thanks for the input. This is for a photography school engagement, so I know what to do...

 

There's just no means to move the hands in a block of ice :)

Creative idea - yes, difficult to move the hands whilst the clock is frozen! The toning is appropriate....but.....I wonder about changing it slightly, warming a bit frame by frame, progressively so that the bottom right image is approaching a very weak yellow?

 

I like the concept, appreciate the idea.

very intersting

Love the idea.

Very good idea well executed. Bravo.

I like these shots but would also like to see a different time on the clock to make it more thought provoking. If you wanted to move the time on why not try putting a tube over the back of the clock so that water cannot get to the back of the clock. When the water freezes the tube can be removed and the back of the clock is accessible :o) It would be worth experimenting with.

Well, in fact I use hot water to accelerate the melting process :)

 

As for moving the hands: nope, every trick I tried failed, because the water gets into the face and freezes the hands, even though I had access to the winding mechanism on the back which I had left out of the water when freezing the clock :)

you didn't try every trick. You just need to freeze 5 or 6 clocks!

VERY creative idea! Better execution! At last something really original!

I actually like the fact the hands of the clock have not moved. I find it more interesting that it is not the clock which is the time piece but the block of melting ice.

 

That said, I like frames 7 or 8 by themselves better than the entire sequence.

Great Idea

Excellent conceptual work, and good execution as well, in that you can't tell by the first 1-2 frames what the end-result will be (of even what the block-object necessarily is)

nice concept

My only suggestion would be that a larger pool of water in the last frame might fit better, but that's pretty much splitting hairs. Excellent.

Great Photo !! I loved it !!! BRAVO !
