Historic Donington

[Karmann Ghiaman]

As previously promised, here are some pictures from the April 5th HSCC meet at Donington Park, taken in glorious monochrome with a proper camera. (If you would like to see any of the cars in colour, may have shots on the digital one).

 

 

 

 

Formula Fords:

 

 

 

 

 

For photography anoraks only: Boots now seem to send analog 35mil monochrome film all the way to Germany to be converted into CD format. This is expensive, but the Germans clearly do a much better job of processing black & white properly than used to be the case when it was done in England. (Much to the disgust of wife & cats I'm thinking of making parts of our cellar into a dark room & developing SLR pictures at home.)

 

michiel has some beautiful monochromes from the streets of Amsterdam on his site! http://www.flickr.com/photos/michielverburgh/

 

More later if anyone's interested...

Fabulous!

 

I still have a B&W film from the 07 London-Brighton veteran run to develop!

Well seth, you could get it done by Boots & they will do CDs for about £8 so you can share them online. I, for one, would like to see them!

 

Here are a few more from Donington...

Must've liked this Anglia...

 

...KEPT photographing it!

If Bernard Cahier had taken this shot in the '60s, those chaps would definitely have had fags dangling from their lips as they handled high octane fuel:

 

Nice participant:

 

Non-racer, but allowed in the paddock:

 

Parked nearby:

OMG! Was it for sale?!?

 

My own baby in an early morning carpark where she sometimes raises the tone:

 

On another occasion we went to Chatsworth:

 

To see the BIG BABY:

 

The Farrari Club were also there & I managed to get a few pictures while Mrs KGman was using the facilities which the old Dowager Duchess has so graciously provided for us riff-raff:

 

Here's a beauty, probably assembled in his front room:

 

And here's the chequered flag:

Vroom!
