That is pretty sweet.

I've only ever seen another shot like it by our Mod Larry - on his Sub I believe.

Would be great to see a 36, 28 and 21 side by side by side!

Trick is to focus on the hand, not on the dial markings. Use a tripod, and set a long exposure. Mine was 2 seconds. Therefore 16 ticks

I really like that pic. Thanks for sharing it with us. The crown down at the six o'clock shows up really well too.

Here is one on Daytona. Didn't come out as good because of white color.

Nice snap! Why is it that I only manage those types of photos when I'm NOT trying to do so? (Not taking anything away from your effort with my tongue in cheek comment, because it's truly a terrific photo. :) )

3-4 tries. Others were not bad. Beats were showing up on the white markers.

Awesome shot for 8-beat second-hand within 1 second by using a long exposure.
