Le Mans 2011 – Crazy Fans

Dave — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 13:41:55 +0000

Having never been before, I jumped at the chance to travel to the Le Mans 24 hour race, with friends. Wanting to treat this more as a holiday I only took my trusty Panasonic LX5 compact.

Here are some snaps from the event, which for a change are not just cars

The next shots are from sunrise (5am ish), about 14 hours in to the race. Some of these fans are mad !!!

Car Photography

Dave — Sun, 01 May 2011 16:08:02 +0000

Had the pleasure of joining other driving enthusiasts on the weekend, for a drive across mid wales. Some stunning roads & equally stylish cars to photograph. All cars photographed as parked in a public car park, so no chance to stage shots. Backdrop wasn’t too bad though

Corporate Photography – IBM Regatta 2010

Dave — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 12:18:42 +0000

Lucky enough to be invited by IT & Voice Managed Services company Niu , to take some corporate photographs from IBM’s Regatta for 2010.

This was a 2 day event, with races taking place from Port Solent, Portsmouth, across to Cowes, Isle of White. An excellent couple of days, with some great guys from Niu & IBM making up the crews.

Kodak Zi8 Sample video at 60 frames per second

Dave — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:12:41 +0000

I love the simplicity of my £130 HD Video camera, the Kodak Zi8. Not only does it shoot at 1080p, if you drop to 720P there is a mode to shoot at 60 fps. With the snow on the ground today, it was too good an opportunity to miss testing the 60fps, by taking the dogs for a walk.

Here are the results played back at 1/5th speed (warning HD so you need decent bandwidth or just hit “pause” for a while).
I have to say I’m impressed with the results.

Morgan Cars – Factory Visit

Dave — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 17:03:32 +0000

Living only 20 miles from the Morgan Motor Company factory, based in the Malverns, I thought it time to attend one of their factory tours. A fascinating 2 hour tour takes in each stage of the build of these cars. It’s amazing to see the craftmanship that goes in to building a Morgan.

Anyway, I didn’t have my camera gear with me, so took the following shots using my iPhone using the “hipstamatic” camera app :-

Above - Notice the Ash Wood in the arches.

The Morgan Motor Company is a British motor car manufacturer, founded in 1909 by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan and was run by him until he died, aged 77, in 1959. His son, Peter Morgan ran the company until a few years before his death in 2003. The company is now run by his son, Charles Morgan

The waiting list for a car is approximately one year, although it has been as high as ten years in the past.

Amazingly enough 70% of Morgans are built left hand drive, ready for overseas customers. Morgans are only built to order, so in theory you should never see a brand new one for sale on the open market.
