Cotswold meet comming from South

[John Sims]

I am getting up at silly o'clock to be at Cornbury for 9:00.

If anyone coming from the South wishes to join me for final approach I will be at the new services on the M40 (just after the M25 junction) at 7:45 []

Unfortunately, as some numpty removed his rear seats in favour of scaffold tubes, I wont be in Beaky but will have to take Jasper to accommodate Belinda, Peter & Mostyn.

Here is Jasper, so people know what to look for:-

 

[944 man]

I have to ask John: is Mostyn a little boy or a dog?

He's got big furry ears, a wet nose, sniffs your bum when you meet him and wees in public.

That's John. Mostyn is a dog. []

 

[Peter Empson]

To clarify - we're meeting at the new Beaconsfield services at 7.30, leaving sharp at 7.45.

We'll be following the Jag, you'll be able to spot it by the golf clubs hanging out of the boot and the head-to-toe Pringle worn by the driver. [8|]

He's lovely, so that will make him a dog.

Off-topic:
Nice blurring in the background, almost looks like you tried Tilt-Shift photography effect? Makes the main object look like a miniature...

 

[John Sims]

Thanks Kish. It was done in Photoshop by selecting the area and then adding Gaussian Blur.

I not sure about Tilt & Shift. I have no personal experience (although would dearly like a Tilt & Shift lens). Their main advantage today is straightening converging vertices in architectural photography. They are of fairly short focal length so have the potential for a reasonable depth of field. Perhaps in the old days, when you were a lad [], the bellows type tilt and shift systems were fitted with poorer optics with relatively wide apertures used in low light.

The effect you speak of, particularly prominent in photographing model cars, is as a result of the limited depth of field at higher magnification. This is also often exacerbated as result of using a wide aperture in poor internal light.

Bringing the topic back on thread, sort of - I know Geoff Ives, Cotswold Rally organiser, collects old cameras so could perhaps advise.

...continue the discussion at Ace Cafe meet?

See, you have shied away from the new Ace slot, I thought Saturday would be Belinda, Peter & Mostyn friendly. []

There was a lot of comment about our Communications Director turning up in a golf cart. Sorry, A Jaguar....[][]

It did sort of fit in with a lot of the other cars though. Many of the 944s are being turned into track cars, but the families still come to the events in their other cars without feeling they'll not be welcomed. They just have to park out of picture! []
