Clean VW

Saw this very very clean VW today.
A total contrast to the rat look ones that are about these days.

Left hooker.

Midsomer Edit

I've finally got around to doing it after unsuccessfully trying some new editing software.

Oh before anyone asks the music is Doo-Di-Dog-Dad by Mr Bloe.

Subs?

Doesn't say he sells them...

B&W MSN

A couple of pics from Midsomer Norton last week.
Taken with the Minolta X-700, Vivitar 20mm, expired Kodak Tri-X Pan 400.
A bit grainy but hey ho. I've filtered these a bit with Noiseware a great free bit of kit.

More pics on Flickr.

Reverse Lens Wheels

I've been playing with my X-700 with a reversing ring to fit a Pentax 50mm f1:1.7 lens on back to front in order to take close up photos.
Pretty cool, you get a very shallow depth of field and a tilt shift type effect.

Minolta Motordrive

Got an early birthday present of a 2nd hand motordrive for my Minolta X-700.
Here's the camera with the motordrive and the Vivitar 20mm f1:3.8 lens.

3.5fps baby!

Midsomer Video Paprika Tuc's

Well I had hoped to have some footage from Midsomer up on here but seem that I'm being a twat when it comes to technology.
That'll teach me for using a different video editing package.
Suppose I'll have to go back to Windows Movie Maker and get it sorted.

Meanwhile here's a pic of some nice biscuits I discovered on my last trip to France.

Midsomer Norton

Had a day out with the West Wilts Massive at Midsomer Norton on Friday.
Took about 2 hours to get there from Mullet Central.

Really great skatepark, smooth crete, lines everywhere.
Probably too many lines, it's one of those parks that you really need your wits about you as skaters can come from all directions.
Although it was a Friday morning sicknote session there was a good turn out of mature skaters and a couple of truants.
Lots of roll-in spots in to the flowy bowl, quirky rock features (tombstone and love seat.
Took my 42" Vision Longboard which was just as well as The Gaffer hijacked my Z-Surf 36".

More pics on my Flickr thing.

Maverick liked them too.
