A Blip In Time

I find that shots like this take a long time to set up! Various issues like the speed of the pendulum, shutter speed etc. Also wanted to zoom in a bit on a larger aperture so the music behind blurred a bit. Took loads and some came out with no movement showing. I tried to highlight the pendulum with a head lamp and my daughters friction torch that looks like a cow! Camera on a tripod, 2 second shutter delay and me waving a cow torch madly nearby! This was my favourite which looked better in B&W. :-) (and for all you musicians out there the metronome was set to Larghetto)
