"On Saturday at 8:30 p.m. more than 2,800 municipalities in 84 countries plan to take part in the second worldwide Earth Hour by dimming non-essential lights for one hour to conserve energy. Major landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Sears tower and McDonald's restaurant all plan to participate ."

I got a call from the office late Friday afternoon asking me to hurry back after my assignment because they needed me to do an illustration for A1. Somehow things got mixed up in the budget and this wasn't planned so we didn't have any art. I had to come up with something, and fast, because the editor who was producing the page was leaving soon.
I used a green gel on a speedlight that was set really close to the black seamless and placed the clock in front of that. After I got the light spread and level to my desire I used a second light with a snoot to light up the clock. The earth was added in photoshop and when I realized that cutting out each of the numbers would be too tedious and time consuming considering my deadline I just added those in photoshop as well.
Considering that I had zero notice and less than two hours to complete the project I'm pretty pleased with the result.
