in which i tell you about medieval timekeeping methods

ok we gotta start with BABYLONIAN TIME and SUNDIALS because this is the Foundation. this is what they used for thousands of years. pretty much every structure we have for understanding and conceptualizing time is based on The Movements Of The Universe - years, months, days, this is how we understand Time to pass. the sun and stars were used for keeping time since Always!!!! there were also multiple ways of keeping time with the Shadows of the sun, not just sundials, but also tablets to measure the length of shadows. And Such

BABYLONIAN TIME is twelve hours daylight, twelve hours nighttime. this makes very good sense considering Sundials, you just split the indicators into twelve parts. don't know why Twelve specifically other than that the babylonians liked it, but it is a very nice, divisible number, and its been kept as the base for all the hour keeping systems i've read about so far.

but yes this does mean that a babylonian hour does not have a set, static length like a modern hour does...! it changes with the seasons and the place, so a babylonian winter hour is different from, say, a winter hour in northern norway. it probably helps to be closer to the equator and reliable sunny weather.

until the invention of mechanical escapement clocks, babylonian time was The main, foundational understanding of timekeeping, BUT...!!!!!! the church put a spin on it. what the monasteries needed to keep time for was Prayer Times, which they had seven of and were based on the passion of the christ. so they signaled the Seven Canonical Hours, starting at sunrise, ending at sunset. church bells is also how people kept time, because you could hear them out in the fields. timekeeping was a bit of a wibbly wobbly art but accuracy wasn't That important.

the various methods used to keep time in addition to sundials included: the cock's crow, candles, hymns, incense, and water clocks. not hour glasses, as they were invented around the same time as mechanical clocks. isn't that wild!!!!!!!

WATER CLOCKS, also called clepsydra, are a diverse category of clocks ranging from a container with water dripping out of it at a steady pace, to complex hydraulic mechanisms with weights and stuff that i honestly have yet to grasp. the simple versions were used in classical greece + rome in the same way you'd use hourglasses, to keep track of speech time, watch time, et cetera. the islamic world + china were the ones to develop the complex water clocks. there's documentation of a water clock in gaza that had like, moving automata and stuff around year 500. there was a water driven astronomical clock in china around year 1000. water clocks made a comeback in europe around the 1100ds, and were getting more widespread use. like at least they work at night, unlike SOME dials

"mechanical clock" is a bit of a misnomer since water clocks were clearly also mechanical, and the exact time of invention of what we think of as mechanical clocks is Vague. the word "horologia" was used to refer to any kind of timekeeping device, including the noble rooster, so it's a bit of a semantic haze.

they had astrolabes, which Could be used to tell the time, but weren't used to do that in the daily life. scientists wanted to make an automated astrolabe for like, the Science, they just needed to invent the perpetuum mobile first and then combine them. obviously.

the missing piece for the MECHANICAL CLOCK was the escapement, the mechanism that regulates the time with which the gears turn. once they got this going, probably early 1300ds, they got the shows on the road. the shows being: the astronomical clock, and the public striking clock. these were considered different things, you see.

the astronomical clock is the Automated Astrolabe. it shows the movement of the sun and moon and stars and as a consequence, the Time. they had dials that people could read the time from, but they were generally considered objects of prestige and god's glory, kind of like cathedrals. they often had moving figures and such.

now, public clocks that mark the hours with sound, THAT'S a timekeeping device. they didn't even have clock faces at first, and it really is so interesting to think about how looking at a clock wasn't considered the main way to tell the time. these clocks seem to have originated in italian cities and spread from there, and this is where we get ITALIAN TIME.

to show babylonian time with a mechanical clock is impractical. the machinery is good at regular movement, to show babylonian hours you kind of need the astrolabe. so italian hours were static and unchanging in length. you had twenty four hours in a day, and the cut-off point was half an hour past sunset. that was the end of the twenty fourth hour, and a new calendar date begun.

of course, the time of the sunset keeps changing all the time As Well, so these clocks had to be adjusted for that Continuously. which was annoying but they still did it until the 17th century. this method was used in italy, bohemia, silesia and maybe poland? i'm unsure what they used outside these spaces at the time, if they stuck to the babylonian hours even with mechanical clocks and did complex maths about it.

at least the NUREMBERG CLOCK had its own take on it, even if it didn't spread beyond southern germany at all. they used babylonian hours, but instead of changing the length of an hour, they changed the amount. eight day hours and sixteen night hours in december, opposite in june. the tables needed for how many days with how many hours were very complex and annoying also.

the concept of starting a new calender day at midnight, and never needing to constantly adjust day hours or when the sunset begins, WAS known but only used for scientific and astronomical purposes. like that's such a weird way to split the day!!!!! twelve at MIDDAY?? WEIRD. some travellers noted that this was a very practical and elegant solution, though, but travel and far flung communication was still very slow, so mismatched timekeeping was more annoying than inconvenient. but anyway that's for the future to figure out

what camera do you use? I love your work and have just gotten into photography more, and I have been loving playing around with old digital cameras!

Thank you! I use canon EOS 1100D with both original 18-50mm and a 70-300mm lens (and sometimes use my phone's camera, and the film camera is canon snappy 20). I do love to see the old digital cameras getting love as well, though I myself haven't gotten into that - at least yet

My photography journey

Hey everyone! 🙋‍♂️ I've been an iPhone aficionado since the days of the iPhone 3GS. 📱 From the sleek design to the ever-evolving technology, I've owned every model along the way. But there's one feature that's always stood out to me: the camera. 📷

Back in college, you could always find me with my trusty Canon EOS 1100D. 🎓 I was that guy who carried his DSLR everywhere, capturing moments and perfecting my craft. 📸 But over time, things changed. The convenience of my iPhone started to take over. 😅

Don't get me wrong – iPhone cameras are absolutely fantastic. 

🌟 They have evolved to a point where they're rivalling some of the best dedicated cameras out there. 

For everyday photography, most people won't notice the difference between a shot taken with an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a high-end camera like the Canon XA60 - Professional 4K Video Camcorder. 🤯

Just to be clear, I don't own a Canon XA60. 🛑 I'm just making a point about the evolution of smartphone cameras. 📈 For my vlogs on my "TMarsh-Connors" YouTube account, the difference between shooting with my iPhone or a professional camcorder isn't as noticeable as you'd think. 🎥

The iPhone has made photography more accessible to everyone. 🌍 You don't need to be a pro with a bag full of gear to take stunning photos or videos. Just whip out your phone, and you're good to go! 📲

However, I do sometimes miss the days of lugging around my Canon, tweaking settings, and composing the perfect shot. 🥲 There's a certain satisfaction that comes with using a dedicated camera and knowing the intricacies of photography. 📷

While my iPhone has made me a bit lazier and more complacent, it's also given me the freedom to capture life's moments without the hassle. ✨ Whether you're using a smartphone or a DSLR, the most important thing is to keep capturing and sharing your unique perspective with the world. 🌍

Stay creative and keep snapping! 📸✨

Feel free to check out my vlogs on YouTube at "TMarsh-Connors" and let me know what you think! 💬

Happy shooting! 📷📱
