7 ticks per sec??

wandyprawira · 27 July 2007, 02:07 PM

It's definitely an original Rolex. Your Rolex beats 28,800 bph = 28,800/3600 bps = 8 BEATS PER SECONDS, which conforms exactly to your picture.

Lubrifar · 27 July 2007, 02:08 PM

I think I counted 8 ticks per sec. Awesome pic!

Rawhyde · 27 July 2007, 02:08 PM

This is your first time with a camera, right?

Just messing with you. Absolutely amazing pics!!!

exactly right

BiG JeEzY · 27 July 2007, 04:31 PM

Excellent pictures!! I counted 8 beats per second too from each image.

That is a nice lume shot too!

JJ Irani · 27 July 2007, 04:58 PM

At the rate of 28,800 A/Hr. and divided by 3600 seconds (in one hour), you get 8 beats per second.

Cheers - JJ

Hi Larry,

One of the best action shots I've seen.

ROGU808 · 27 July 2007, 06:18 PM

Great pic!!! 8 beats/sec is what I've read.
I'm sure I saw another thread a while back where someone else posted a picture showing the 8 "ticks" per second. They were great shots as well!!!

mike · 27 July 2007, 06:40 PM

Great shot Larry!!

I need new glasses or at least need to learn to count again

Dan Pierce · 27 July 2007, 10:29 PM

Great shot.

I've tried but never been able to capture that.

Really amazing! A watch timed with -get this- a camera! Those photos are simply the among the very best going! They even include a lume shot, in addition to the movement of the second hand and initial composition!

You don't need specs... there's 14 ticks there.....I used a 1.75 second shutter speed.. Had to make sure I covered an entire one second tick mark on the dial....

Jocke · 28 July 2007, 02:16 AM

It depends if it´s a mechanical movement.

Or a Quartz.
