Photos from the Hethel meet

[stagowner]

Hope I get for next factory day shirt which says: Official Photographer

[Mod Action: Colour Edit by EDF]

Jussi - you get my vote for the "Official Photographer" - but you dont look good in pink !!

[Kimbers]

Talk about clashing with his eyes! To get away with pink you need your eyes to match!

Recipe for pink eyes........

1 Take 2 weeks of stress and lack of sleep due to nightmares about an up coming event.

2 Add in some hairy Hooning with Mr & Mrs Bibs in Europa's

3 Take a huge lump of hangover mixed with a splash of bibsy turning up early

4 Take the front of 66 car convoy with no phone signal or working walkie talkie

5 add in 4 hours of sea air

6 Take a huge party mixed with 10 pints and a 4am finish

7 splash in some early start

Repeat process from 6 again

Great recipe........must point out my absence from the forum this weekend was due to a sleepathon that resulted in 35 hours of sleep over a 48 hour period........It even catches up with me eventually!

[Jussi]

I think Pink is definitely not for me But for Kimbers....YES

As for camera...Fishy I'm not "a millionaire" so it's not EOS1D.

This is my wallpaper on computer at the moment B)

[Tentenths]

Fishy, get you with yer red marker pen

Now, I may have got this entirely round my neck <prepares door ready for hasty exit> but my take on -

"It's not so special but my photo-seller (professional photographer himself) recommended this camera to me cause it's easy to take with. He actually use this model himself where it's not suitable to take big bag with you, normally he uses his Canon EOS1D..."

is that the Canon EOS1D is Jussi's friend's full-sized professional SLR camera, whereas he also has a more compact camera for more 'casual' use. It was the latter that Jussi bought on his recommendation and subsequently used to great effect in Norfolk.

EDIT - Jussi beat me to it - I must learn to to type more quickly

Indeed!

Which means... Jussi... You STILL haven't said what camera you DO use - just one that you don't!

[matk]

Well funnily enough I PM'd Jussi a few days ago because I was impressed by his photos and asked exactly the question and his reply was........

"Thanks

I have Canon Powershot Pro1. My photodealer claims it's perfect to take with some carshows and etc. He is a professional photographer and he also use sometimes at his holiday Powershot Pro1. It's perfect size to carry on.

Jussi"

Jussi hope you don't mind me "outing" you!

[Jussi]

Hmm. Have to be careful what I'll PM to people....

No hard feelings Mat

At work I have CanonPowershotS30

At home I have: Olympus MiniDigital,Canon Ixus and Canon Powershot Pro1 (which I mainly use). Pro1 is excellent on shooting cars, I have owned it about 2years.

Olympus is Heli's "cat cam" and it fits perfectly on women's purse (I mean the camera not the cat)...

Jussi

I know there's been a few posts regarding a DVD of best photo's, but yours really are amazingly good. I for one would be prepared to send you a blank DVD and a stamped addressed envelope for a copy of everything you've got!

Would you consider something like this (with a suitable contribution for your time and perhaps a donation to Mcmillan's)?

If you think I'm being a little forward I won't be offended if you're too busy or tell me to get stuffed! If it helps and there was interest I would quite happily help co-ordinate from here?

Let me know your thoughts?

I made about a 20 second video clip of this moment as we arrived at factory. Nearly the same as your pic Jussi. ( Even Kato's impressed as I caught him on film as he opens his door to take a pic)

[Guest Troy Halliday]

Thanks Brian that would be great you have a PM.

If anyone else has any please let me know please. After all the disc will only be as good as what I can put on it.

[Jussi]

Troy, I can also share all my photos to that DVD, if you accept them.

Just let me know what size you want them to be

In that way, Mat you can have my photos via that DVD B)

[RichardN]

Hi Troy

If you want any of mine (they are on page 1) I can send the originals which are higher res. Do you have access to an FTP site where they can be uploaded to (not one of the photo sites that shrink the pics)

Richard

[Dan]

Sorry it took a while

Here are the rest of the photos, hope you'll like them:

Take a look, there's plenty of photos.

Jussi's visit in U.K

Thanks for posting these Jussi, they really are excellent photos. I consider myself privileged to have had you snapping away in my passenger seat on the Monday, it's virtually a personal photo documentary of my trip to the factory and back Just wish I'd had the sense to take the roof out for the journey and you could have had some even more interesting convoy shots
