Notice the second hand.



.

 

I noticed that on your intro. thread. Cool shot!

 

...and I thought the second hand was vibrating

 

High(er) shutter speed but even faster Foudroyante needle:



This is a Panerai Radiomir 1/8th Second, ref. PAM00246. The left needle rotates one time and ticks eight times per second. The movement OPXX1 in fact is a La Joux-Perret (formerly Jaquet) LPJ 8952, which initially was developed by Jaquet for Graham. The movement is mainly a Valjoux 7750 with integrated Rattrapante (controlled by a column wheel contrary to the normal chronograph) and Foudroyante (driven by a separate barrel) mechanisms.

Nice watch, but 1/8sec is a very slow, not high shutter speed. If you hand hold camera at 1/8sec without shake reduction, you'd have a blurry picture of every standstill subject. Try 1/16000sec for highspeed.

 

I thought it meant the increments measured by the sub-dial, as opposed to the shutter speed?

 

Yes. I'd better written "higher shutter speed" (just edited).

In fact, the shot above was taken with a shutter speed of 1/2 s, thus clearly showing the Foudroyante needle in four of eight positions.

This photo was taken at 1/15 s:



Cheers,

Beautiful watch, either way!

 

Taken for about 10min ago from the balcony. Didn't have great conditions since it's to much light from the surroundings Not a great picture but a cool thing to have dancing outside the window.. It's not hard to have this outside the window the coming months

 

gorgeous pictures all around!

 

A picture over my home town in the north of Sweden at 9pm yesterday. Taken by a friend of mine, fantastic!

 

I'm sure you can deduce the shutter speed...

 

That Panerai is WOW !

 

very nice watch and pix

 

Another long exposure shot...



On this watch - now gone but not forgotten:



Cheers, Al

 

slow shutter speed, fast moving chrono hand..
