A bit of a later in the day post, as work might keep one pretty busy!
This image was part of a series of strobe experimental shots that I did a number of years back

It still seems appropriate today, as we continue to keep time!
Keeping time is important…
Welcome to the 199th round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!
What an amazing set of action shots! You managed to take the word action and interpret it in various directions, which I really appreciate! I very much enjoyed going through each and every one of your posts and reading your narratives and looking at your photos. Thank you for all of your creative efforts!
Here’s a bit of action, frozen in times…
In this image, that I shot as part of a series of decorative prints for a music school, the action of the metronome is frozen… in multiple locations. Using a bit of rudimentary math, I set up a repeating flash to catch the movement and freeze it at various times. It was one of those fun shots to set up, as it’s not something that one does every day!

The WordPress Daily Prompt provides the theme of Constant, which would be something rather unvarying…
The idea of something constant made me think of a metronome, which, after all, provides a constant rhythm, and is a constant companion to the musician looking for just that beat!
I photographed a metronome a couple of years ago for a show at a music school…
This was taken with a single exposure, setting my flash to provide a series of bursts that I dialed in to get the timing just right. With a bit of control, I managed to keep the background solid black, so that there was very little editing to be done.
What is your constant companion? Have a wonderful day!
At regular intervals
The WordPress Daily Prompt is always a lot of fun to check out, as one never knows what kind of inspiration will be drawn from it. Today’s prompt is Timely, which reminded me of an image that I captured almost exactly 5 years ago…
This is not a multiple shot image, but rather a single shot (and a bit of practice). Using strobe flashes one can get as creative as your mind will let you; as I had experimented with multi-mode exposures before, I thought it would be interesting to do this with a metronome.
The biggest task in creating this image was to build an environment, where I could reduce ambient light to almost nothing in my studio, so that I could get a perfectly black background without resorting to post-processing. After that, the rest was a matter of some test shots and getting in sync with the metronome.
This image was captured with a Canon EOS 5D MkII, using an EF24-105mm f/4L lens. Exposure settings were at 1 second, f/11 and 400 ISO. The flash used is a Canon 580EX II in multi-mode; IIRC I set the frequency to 8Hz.
