The Clock

Rancho Bernardo, CA

Today I prowled the ***Random Photos Gallery *** on Pbase with the goal to choose the one on each page I liked best. Unlike the PaD Meta Gallery this is more of a challenge and many pages had little to appeal.

I concluded that each one I liked “best” was noted for its single subject of focus; not garbaged up by too much distracting the eye.

On my drive to and from breakfast I resolved to take a picture that met that standard. I have little time to do all this, because my Chargers are on TV this morning, and then of course my White Sox will be playing the Astros in game two of the World Series this afternoon.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

Well, Dr. R, your picture won't fire up for me, except for the thumb. From what these old eyes can make out, it looks like a good shot and a good idea. Perhaps I'll see it in its actual full size and glory on of these days!

Good idea,Robin.Your shot is very easy on the eyes;).Great work,super shot.Vote!
Coleen Perilloux Landry24-Oct-2005 05:24
A great shot. Like the way it seems up there in the clouds,too.
Karen Leaf24-Oct-2005 03:06
Absolutely one of your best.
Now who won the games? Too bad that team has different colored sox than what SHOULD be there.
noearlybird24-Oct-2005 02:18
another great reminder that there is never enough time. Love the B&W.

Robin I hope you're going to print this and hang it. This is AWESOME!
Brian McAllister24-Oct-2005 01:49
Simply timeless. Great shot Robin.
petesie24-Oct-2005 01:38
I agree with you, Robin, and I try and fail often, but it is a goal. This is a wonderful image of simplicity and has beautiful tones. I must disagree with one thing, Go Astros! (However, at the moment they are down 1-0 after game one, and tied in the top of the fifth with no outs and a man on 2nd base....hmmmm.)
shatterbug24-Oct-2005 00:38
Excellent b/w image! Great tones, love the dramatic sky!
virginiacoastline24-Oct-2005 00:19
you're a White SOx fan??? I didn't know too many of them existed outside of CHGO . . . and Chgo fans can be very derisive . . LOL!
don nieman24-Oct-2005 00:01
This is intense. An almost foreboding image.
Manfred Bachmann23-Oct-2005 23:39

Go SOX!! This was a good educational post for me, Robin. You are teaching me a lot about photography. Football? That seems to be another story :-)
Lee Rudd23-Oct-2005 18:26
striking image!
JW23-Oct-2005 17:52
I think you have made a good point Robin. This excellent image is certainly strong evidence! Of course, less is more ....
markvm23-Oct-2005 17:42
The light inside the clock and the nice dark background are really what makes this such a nice image...at least that is how I see it.
Cindy Flood23-Oct-2005 17:33
Nice image. I very much like pictures without clutter and one strong subject.
Gail Davison23-Oct-2005 17:23
