Time. An interesting idea. Did we invent time or did we only discover it? Is time really the way we divide our days and years, hours and minutes? Our age? I believe time on the Moon is the same as on the Earth, since we are so close, but is it the same on a different planet? Is it based on our division of, well… time? Or does it have to be different because of the other planet’s rotation speed? Is time really subjective the way Einstein said, or did he also not know what time is? If someone travels “at the speed of light”, they will indeed experience more things that would normally take more “time”, but isn’t that only because of the actual speed? Isn’t the person still taking the same concept of time and the same unique humanly way of experiencing time with himself or herself on their trip with the speed of light? Aren’t we humans the only ones actually talking about time? It must then only apply to all the things that we can relate to in the particular manner in which we relate to the division and measurement of this very interesting and particular dimension of our lives.

I shot this at the highest possible ISO, to see what the noise would be. I did not attempt to reduce the noise at all. The only things I did was layered the texture, of a different shot (w/ same settings) and worked on the color in Lr just a bit. Shot with available (lamp – tungsten) light, auto white balance, this image is basically a test. I created another one like it a couple of days ago, where I used a different camera and obviously different ISO, and it turned out only a little bit different.

Strobist info: 2×580 EX II via infra red trigger in two groups (A+B). One 580 EX II with 3 gels (2 blue gels on one half and one red gel on the other half) and the other 580 EX II bare. Stuck the pages together with magnets and covered the cover with a black foam. I left the setup shot in full color here so you can see that I didn’t tweak anything in Ps. Small dust spots removed in Lr. Shot with +2 diopter filter over a 50 mm prime. In case you didn’t know what this is, it’s a book. A “Tell the Time with Thomas” book by Christopher Awdry.
