Something I threw together a few days ago. Barrel's got a bit of girth, but maybe the 'nade's are just big.

And the last catch from the event is this. A South African import based on the Opel Rekord D. Possibly converted to LHD as they were almost the same apart from the engines.
Survivor. Car of Yesteryear.
Can't even remember the last time I saw one of these. Most of them fell victim to rust decades ago....
The OH Crumbs SNEAKY SNACK SHOT...
... also sold as the PIN-TACKS K.O.1
When the Minolta Dynax 7xi came on the market with all its remarkable automatic functions (including power zoom and automatic picture composting, ah composition), my father, a professional photographer who put his trust in mechanical cameras, quipped: "Oh what a wonderful invention - it does everything for you, except to make the tea!!!"
Imagine my joy when I finally found this one - the camera that DOES make the tea - and even coffee as well. It's the OH CRUMBS "SNEAKY SNACK SHOT" full of great features - view large and zoom in to see for yourself!
Note the 18-55mm f7.9-8.5 SC kit lens with its Special Coatings - the icing on the cake, so to speak. The camera is also available with an SMC 40mm f2.8 pancake. Ain't that sweet?!!!
Just to be perverse, a sharp image taken with a soft-focus lens. Very soft wide open, the SMC Pentax-FA 85mm f:2.8 soft becomes sharp stopped down from f:8 onwards - here to f:22
PENTAX K-1
See the neighbouring picture for another view and more great features! It's a camera that whets the appetite for more...

Aquesta joia és la Kodak No.3A Folding Pocket, una càmara produida entre 1903 i 1915, i destinada per Kodak als amateurs avançats. De fet es defineix com a càmara de "butxaca", tot i que ha de ser una gran butxaca d'abric o anorak!
Aquesta càmara en concret és de la variant B-2, produida a Rochester (NY) entre 1904 i 1906. Compta amb un obturador FPK Automatic molt bonic i un disparador de pera modern que l'hi he afegit per acabar de donar-li el toc classic (la majoria de disparadors d'aquest tipus estan desaparescuts, el cauxú no ha sobreviscut un segle).
Aquesta càmara feia servir carrets de 122, que fa dècades que no es produeixen. Però amb uns adaptadors hi he fet servir carrets de 120.
El que més em fascina d'aquesta càmara, que per cert funciona quasi com nova, és que finalment he establert que es tracta del model que portà Frank Hurley mentre acompanyà a Ernst Shackleton en la seva odisseia antàrtica, entre 1914 i 1916. Primer pensava (com diuen moltes webs), que portava la molt més portable Kodak Vest Foldking Pocket (VFP), però una foto de Hurley a Elephant Island el mostra amb la funda de cuiro inmensa de la 3A Folding Pocket!
Hurley portava diverses càmeres de plaques, amb les que feu les principals fotos del inici de la expedició. Però quan el vaixell Endurance s'enfonsà, es va veure obligat a quedar-se amb la molt més "petita" 3A Folding Pocket, i 3 rodets. Les fotos que feu de la èpica supervivencia antartica durant més d'un any son mítiques.

This beauty is a Kodak No.3A Folding Pocket camera, built in Rochester, NY, in 1904-1906. The No.3A camera was produced from 1903 to 1915, but this is the B-2 variant, so it's sure that was produced in 04-06.
A wonderful detail of this camera, and what convinced me to own it, was that I'm now quite sure it was the camera that Frank Hurley used in Shackleton's antartic oddisey, one of the most dangerous and wonderful trips ever done. Most web sites tell that it was a much more portable Kodak Vest Pocket Camera, but there's the picture of Hurley in Elephant Island with the huge case of a Kodak No.3A:

This camera is provided with a FPK Automatic shutter and I bought also a modern reproduction of a rubber bulb (original ones are mostly destroyed by time). This is the origin of the "B" or "bulb" setting in even modern DSLR.
This camera used the 122 film format, long gone, but with an adaptor, modern 120 film could be used with some limitations (much more panoramic pictures and you have to guess how much film you have to roll for each pic).

Old school Juke box at the High lite diner.
The High Lite has been a part of downtown as long as I can remember & some of the furnishings are older than that. The age of the furnishings, in some cases makes them cool & stylish, in other cases .. just aged.
The highlight is currently the place you can get breakfast (or coffee) dowtown. The breakfast is typical greasy spoon fair, neither trendy or particularly healthy but, tasty & filling.
I suspect this won't be the last set I post from the High Lite.

When the cars did not exist, there was a transport system for the gentlemen, the automatic horse. No more oats required, this revolutionary vehicle ran on Legorite®
Well... this is how it could have happened .
Automatic Eloise - She was the pride of the Toy room and had life of sorts before them all with punchcard dreams and a clockwork soul. When Loki's games became to much to bear some of the toys turned to her to lead them but their whispers were carried into his hearing by Babel. Loki stole her dreams and scattered her cards. Empty of herself she now stands, fragments behind her eyes and falling from her cold lips
Annual London to Brighton Jaguar Run, 2015.
The Mk9 was produced 1959 to 1961. The car was/is a large luxury saloon often used for official duties.
The car as seen here with Automatic transmission would have retailed about £2163 - a HUGE amount of money in 1960.
This example had well polished chrome and white wall tyres. Stunningly beautiful.
