Went out on a random drive and thought I'd dust the camera off.

McGherkin · Oct 6, 2013

Nice shot! You coming to the photo shoot?

planetx · Oct 6, 2013

From a funeral I shot last week.

Went over to Blackpool yesterday. Didn't take my tripod with me as I wasn't going to do much photography.

Taken off Facebook as my Flickr is playing up, hence the drop in IQ.

I've got more to go up on Flickr which I'll try to get up tonight.

Good pics but not your best, old chap

^That first one is good!

v15ben · Oct 6, 2013

Those shots from the SCD events are spectacular, Riad.
Properly fantastic and Jonty sliding the 355 around in the rain must have been hilarious!

CJGREEN · Oct 6, 2013

Loving this 40mm Pancake lens!!

Cheers Ben! it was great fun shame we couldn't take the F12 when the rain hit

have you seen the SCD video of Jonty in the 355?

Rob · Oct 7, 2013

These are all hosted on facebook so excuse the quality. I haven't picked bits and bobs for flickr just yet. All shot on my nifty fifty, and as you can tell I've been a bit of a shallow focus ***** lately.

Few from holiday, and a few from a walk in the park today with the mrs' new dog.

Nothing amazing, but I've started to really enjoy using the camera again, hopefully they'll improve because of that.

Just picked up what I consider to be my dream lens, a Nikon Nikkor 50mm Ai-S F1.2.
Using it on a D3 is sublime, looking forward to getting some portraits done.

welshname · Oct 8, 2013

Didn't realise you had gone back to a full size DSLR. Lovely pictures.

f**k!!! Dat lens!!

planetx · Oct 8, 2013

It's a stop gap going back to DSLR, I need to make money - the old D3 is my work horse.

v15ben · Oct 8, 2013

The peg shot is great, what a cracking lens!

planetx · Oct 8, 2013

Not bad for a fifty huh

riz · Oct 9, 2013

Quick iphone snap.

JT172 · Oct 9, 2013

Quite like this one I got earlier

v15ben · Oct 9, 2013

Really like the IPhone snap, Riz.
Great subject and composition.
Just goes to show you don't need to be using the fanciest camera I guess!

A few from me from way back in July over in the US.
We stumbled upon some amazing cars over there, especially a 1910-30s car club event out in Oregon.
Just gone through the photos at long last so here are some of the cars.

Niall · Oct 9, 2013

I like that last one, Ben. It has a very all American feel to it.

v15ben · Oct 9, 2013

Thanks, Niall.
Not sure how I managed a double post though!

Brazo · Oct 9, 2013

Agreed last one is pick of the bunch!

Habitual · Oct 10, 2013

The bokeh from that F/1.2.... Wow!

v15ben said:
Nice shots again, Tom.
That M3 shot looks like they were having fun!

Scrooge said:

Thanks guys! The dude with the M3 loved it so much, he bought a couple of framed prints from me. He did leave some epic tyre marks though...

Very cool! You should try do an edit that brings out similar colours to the original smiths one too.

Thats a great shot Nial, the kid on the bike makes it!

In fact I missed (was in France) the entire page 305 and I do normally check every pic! , some great shots!

Yeah, I’ll do that when I go back with the fisheye. I wanted to go with a fisheye originally but I didn’t have it before I went. The fisheye would be really cool because in one of their music videos they use a fisheye lens in the video at this location.

Brazo said:

Thanks, Brazo. I particularly liked it because if you’re familiar with the video of ‘Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard this One Before’, they’re on bikes in the video lol, so it’s like a 26 years on sort of recreation.
