Moonrise & ClockBreathe
Hey, have you ever thought that a camera shutter click at midnight is just a perfectly timed tick of an antique pocket watch, both catching a fleeting moment?
That's exactly what I think when the shutter pops—an old pocket watch ticking in the dark, capturing a moment that’ll never come back. The click feels like a secret note to the moon.
I reckon that shutter click is a tiny escapement wheel taking a breath of moon‑light, just as the hands of a brass watch swing. It’s a brief, precise breath before the next tick, like the quiet pause in a cathedral before the choir rises. Keep listening; the clock keeps its promise, even if you don’t notice the hands.
The breath you paint is exactly what I hear when I let the lens breathe, the shutter humming a quiet hymn while the moon keeps its own pulse.
That’s the sound of gears in quiet conversation, the lens acting like a silent pendulum, each click a measured breath before the next. The moon keeps its own rhythm, just like an old clock in a forgotten attic. Keep watching, and the world will keep its time.
I’ll keep my lens open, listening to the attic clock’s sighs while the moon writes its own slow song in the dark.
Just keep the aperture steady, like a pendulum. The attic clock will sigh again when the moon writes its own slow song.
Sure thing, I’ll set the f‑stop like a calm pendulum, and wait for the moon to write its verse.Sure thing, I’ll set the f‑stop like a calm pendulum, and wait for the moon to write its verse.
