Historic Seattle clock, commissioned in 1913. Including the key-wound, gravity-driven pendulum movement visible at street level through beveled glass side panels, the clock weighs about 2 tons and is twenty feet high. It's hand-wound weekly.
Not my best...2 birds with three beaks and blownout blurred body. The blur was subtle in the photo posted yesterday. 100% Lightroom fail with its latest pushed out version. Initially thought I had a sensor fail in camera as had to re-prioritize from 5 star to my 1 star trash classification during processing as parts of the subjects were missing or multiple/broken/misplaced features. Thankfully I didn't mass delete all 1 star from Lightroom and hard drive before I discovered that the RAW files were fine and the problem was Lightroom where history shoed (and confirmed on rollover) "Synchronised Remove Edits" entries (twice) that I didn't do. Had problems with Photoshop last week - simple layering "paint with black" - that disappeared with its pushed upgrade and gained some weird Ai not ready for prime time. Have to re-process yesterday's entire shoot and looks like a good time to quite procrastinating and learn Capture One workflow.
Ha, Ha. We had a similar setup at a vintage aircraft business. For advertising, they set up a vintage military cargo plane nose buried with tail high, pilot's parachute entangled in the tail and pilot dangling above the ground. It was set along a major highway (Interstate 4) and passing motorist were calling in reporting the plane crash so often that they had to remove it.
