Onderweg van Italië naar Slovenië kwamen we een drietal klassiekers tegen die meededen aan de Peaks of the Alps and Dolomites 2021. En het waren nog Nederlanders ook! De Bentley Speed 8 komt uit 1948 (!), bijzonder om zo'n bejaarde klassieker (73 jaar oud) zo ver van huis te zien. De Morgan erachter is een stuk jonger, uit 1990.

On our way from Italy to Slovenia we came across three classics that participated in the Peaks of the Alps and Dolomites 2021. And they were Dutch! The Bentley Speed 8 is from 1948 (!), special to see such an eldery classic (73 years old) so far from home. The Morgan behind it is much younger, from 1990.

This is far from my best edit or near any of my more complex edits. But in the end I didn't want it to go to waste. And because of that I decided to resize it from 4K to 1440p.

I would prefer to view multiple versions of such a shot on my Dell monitor. So I can get closer to what can be seen on my 4K display.
But since the dark pixels or dark mark on my Dell monitor is slowly vanishing. I am still using one of the pixel fixer videos to make sure the area affected is fixed for the foreseeable future.
And because of that I had to pick one version on my iPad with the brightness set to half way or past half way.

This is the only version that was captured since my console wasn't fully responding. I could switch between some basic system functions.
However if I tried to enter photomode menu or close down the game, nothing happened. And because of that I had to turn off the console.

Open-Air Thrills
The Maserati GranCabrio marks a new and important chapter in Maserati’s history. It is a Maserati unlike any seen before.
Imagine being at the roadside on the Via Emilia - the heart of a region famed for its motoring links - on a cool summer morning. You hear the unmistakable sound of an engine before a powerful car appears. On the car’s grille sits the Maserati badge. The car is a cabriolet. There can be no mistake: it is the GranCabrio.
The name, GranCabrio, evokes Maserati’s renowned traditions and experience, tying the new vehicle to the GranTurismo concept and bringing to life past GranSports. At the same time, the name underlines how much the car differs from every model that has preceded it. The GranCabrio redefines the idea of a cabriolet.
The open-top, four-seater GranCabrio offers the chance to share a fantastic driving experience with those you love, one enhanced by top quality materials, the aroma of prestigious woods and refined leather. GranCabrio is Maserati’s exclusive take on the need to live exciting experiences in company as opposed to the mania of owning things just for the sake of it.
GranCabrio is designed for those who take pleasure from good taste and who appreciate Italian power and elegance. However, they do not want to be limited by using the car just as a couple or not being able to at all because there is a new addition to the family. In the GranCabrio the joy of sharing experiences reaches previously unattainable heights.

All of my friends know that I love to travel. But while I love seeing new places and countries, I don't feel the same way about flying....or rather the act of flying. And the smaller the plane, the more I tend to get that sinking feeling. My friend Bruce has been a bit of an aviation buff for many years. He can easily tell you the names and paths of just about every type of plane landing at the airport. So when a mutual acquaintance of ours made a suggestion to take a short flight around the island (for his pilot's license requirements), he was ready to jump at the chance. I will admit that I was lukewarm to the idea but their enthusiasm was infectious.
Maybe it was time to try something new. So, even with the initial misgivings, I decided to jump in. The first flight got cancelled due to the weather but the second one looked good. So on May 5 2018 (Cinco de Mayo), I decided to bite the bullet and packed up my camera to take in a side of Barbados not seen by many. I've been on a plane to and from Barbados before, but never circling the island at around 2,000 ft. And what an experience it was.
One of the things that I discovered about flying in a small plane is that while you're in the air at 2,000 feet, a simple kit lens can still get you some great detail shots. My telephoto lens was in my camera bag which was stowed away in the baggage compartment (under the plane). So that was out of the question. I was going to shoot wide mostly anyway, but it was nice to know that the 55mm setting was enough to get this close.
More to come....hope you're excited to see this series.
To all of you, hope you enjoyed the weekend and have an awesome week ahead, wherever you are!

[Message]
Sorry for not being that busy on Flickr & FM.net recently. Some days I just don't want to get out of bed for two reasons.
#1 || Only having three to four months of money left due to how the job search has been gone. Plus it doesn't help that basic retail jobs can't be secured by me.
#2 || Feeling I am past my prime since I struggle to get each update finished in an acceptable time frame. I am even so self-critictal of myself in such a way. It can be diffcult for me to make some ideas or layouts work. Sure I could use similar layouts used by some other members. Or even recyle previous layouts from years ago on a regular basis.
But since I charise good composition from anyone who is willing to put the extra effort into their shots. It gets frustating if multiple ideas from me have to be binned by myself after looking at the shots a few times. Or a few don't go down as well, when compared to my old shots from FM4-FM6 & FH2-FH3.
[The Future]
Sure photomode can still be enjoyed by me. But with how my father acts in certain situations, looks and talks about me as if he wanted me to be more like him. And lastly how he won't give me a decent connection. It all blends together that it affects me, which in turn me one thing as been on my mind in the past few months.
If the self-critical part of me feels my shots are slowly degrading and not improving over time. Maybe making FH4 my last Forza could be best for my mind in the long term.
It would be diffcult, since I have met some wonderful people online and a few offline. Even it's been good fun seeing how much Forza's photomode has improved, sure I still feel it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up for FM8, so it doesn't fall behind the competition.
But in the end. If I don't have the same motativation I once had. Having less games to focus on would be better once FM8 releases. Now would a return be on the cards once FM9 releases.
Maybe. But like with every community or sport in the world. Letting the next generation take over or be the main focus is for the better. And if I didn't return, there is of course other photomodes for me to use.
Right what could of changed my mind about my life, how secure my future is and what I enjoy. If my short YouTube adventure worked out and a good amount of money was coming it. Then I wouldn't need to work in retail again, because something enjoyed by me would be a source of income.
Or if the lottery was won by me. Not only would I be one of the most grateful winners, but my long term security would be secure.

[Final Thoughts]
Sorry for being so negative about my life. And if anyone unfollows me because of my views in this upload all I can say is this.
It's been fun knowing you online also I won't hold a grudge against you.
Anyway with that all said. Have a good November everyone.
[Final Words - Added 18:58]
One thing that has affected my mind set overr the years was losing a long time friend on PSN who blocked me. I would like to play with him again since he felt like a brother to me.
Shame that one of his XBL friends who moved to PS3 followed by PS4 couldn't become unbitter about past discussions on XBL back in the R6: Vegas days on Xbox 360.
Sure the person who added me got over such a discussion. But after one fateful night in 2014 or late 2015. Something happened as if he let his friend thoughts cloud his mind.
I know both have hearts. Just a shame how it happened. It got so bad I even lost other friends on PSN from it. There could be a few reasons. Maybe they had their reasons to block me, maybe I am a toxic person. Or maybe something else resulted in them looking at my messages in another way.
