Description
This was the result of some experimentation with my alarm clock and a 10-second exposure. The clock was stationary and I had the camera on a tripod, which I slowly tilted toward the clock to create this effect. I had to time it so that I could expose it for a few seconds at 11:59, then have it in motion as it changed over to 12:00, and then keep it still for a few more seconds to expose the 12:00.I had a Daily Deviation for this shot on my old account. The shot is still up there (I wasn't about to delete a DD), but I'm putting it up here too for those who haven't seen it before.
Also, it's sort of ironic, but I happened to glance over at the clock used for this picture as I started typing this description, and what did it say? 11:59.

You're welcome. I tried copying your idea (with inferior results), but the weird thing i found, even though my clock was red, it showed up green on my camera a few times!

lol okay..cause i was thinking how the hell you move the clock..the "curves of the light" MIGHT turn out uneven, also the only way is to move the camera, on the tripod by slanting it a lil' at a time?

Yes, the camera was on a tripod and I was tilting it toward the camerea slowly and carefully.

Thanks. It took me several tries to get the shot I wanted, so it wouldn't have been easy to get it right in one take if I actually waited until midnight.
