it's been done to death, I know, but I feel like I haven't posted a photo in ages. I feel like my balance of sarcastic humor to photo posting is a bit skew lately. so I'll offer up about the best exposure i've taken in weeks:

I took this shot a couple nights ago for my daily photo. It was one of those late night things where I say "crap, I didn't do my daily photo yet! what's laying around that I can shoot?!". so i had read a photo.net article earlier and remembered a test shot in which the shutter speed was tested by exposing a stopwatch. I was impressed that it came out this well. It's not an exciting shot by any means, but for me, it was cool as I've been struggling with exposure for a while now.

(there, I can go back to my one-liners now :D)

Looks good! I've never done that, mostly because of I don't have an analogue clock that I know of.
One thing that bothers me a little: what's the reflection on the glass from 12 to 3 o'clock?

Thanks for sharing this,
Sebastian

Cool watch. Nice shot as well....How long of a delay did you use?

Hah... interesting. I've never seen this done. This is a really cool pic. Now I might have to try it out myself. :D
