I really, really hope I can make it to Calabogie this year to take some shots of the cars in their natural habitat (the racetrack), but, as with the previous two years (2007 and 2008), I will at least be taking shots of the cars parked on Preston Street on Friday evening, and this time, I will be using all three of my current cameras (Nikon F65 35mm SLR, Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS75 digital camera, and my sister's ancient Fuji DL-8 fixed-lens snapshot camera for "lomo" shots). I will be taking some of the same kinds of shots that I've taken before, but I have a few new ideas so it won't be a complete rerun (same cars, same angles, different years).
That's a 1/24 Maisto "Assembly Line" Ferrari F430 model with the backdrop being the rear left rim of a Ferrari Mondial t. I actually brought the model with me because I wanted to get a shot of it framed by the "arch" at the southern end of Preston Street near Carling Avenue, but, unfortunately, there's extensive excavation work currently underway on Preston Street, so I couldn't get a clean shot of the arch without a bunch of construction fencing in the way.
By the way, this shot is a blatant self-conscious rip-off of this shot I took in Montreal in June 2001 of my 1/18 scale Mattel 100% Hot Wheels Ferrari F355 model photographed against a rim (which looks like it was another Mondial t).
