The Pendulum

Moving back and forth like clockwork, the pendulum swings relentlessly.

This photo was taken by a Hasselblad 500C medium format film camera and Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:4 f=50mm T* lens with a Hasselblad/63 1xHz-0 drop in filter using Kodak Portra 800 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitalized with Photoshop.

Hi Scott
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition
Great colours too
It would be nice to try something creative here to show the rotation of the Earth.. But very difficult!!!!
Best Wishes, (very late) HFF, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
