A Ford Model T on show at an old vehicles rally in Hertfordshire this summer (July 2013). At these events it is almost impossible to avoid distractions in the background, but as the car is such a strong subject I hope they do not spoil the view too much!

Another Ford, also at a show. Took this several years ago with my canon 350D and std 18-55mm lens. Can’t remember what I did with it, apart from desaturate, but there was an awful lot of cloning to take out the other cars in the background.
Heres my first attempt at panning.. a beauty of a Harley Davidson. i used my D3100, F/22 Shutter speed 1/25 sec, ISO 200. i usd my Sigma 70-300mm focal length 105m spot metering. exposure was +3...

As some of you seem to be rather taken with the concept of 'artistic expression' sometimes known as 'blur', this one was taken at 'Castle Coombe' at a 'Monoposta' race which a mate of mine was competing in.
Personally I think I 'overcooked it' but, the impression of speed is undeniably evident.

Ed,
You do realise that you really are some kind of genius or maybe the chief Wizard of some obscure Photographic coven specialising in Photoshop, or both, don't you?
Thank you so much for taking the time to demon-straight how my work can be improved. It really is inspirational and very generous of you to go to the time and trouble. All I have to do now, is work out how to do it myself. I was going to say DIY it, but that might be construed as 'Destroy It Yourself', although knowing me, that in itself is quite possible !!
Oh, and the shot of the Dispatch Riders Ariel is top notch stuff. Keep up the good work. Do you have any shots of the 'Cotton' motorcycles? They used to be manufactured in a small factory near the centre of the City of Gloucester, and I know the area quite well.
Best regards.
Phil.

Thanks Phil, apportioning Wizard, I accept the W the izard goes to Photoshop, and the experts who devised and continue to improve it. Chief one comes from Edinburgh, (Trivia)
My first experience of this type of sport, was 1952, I was 17, Winfiend aerodrome, about 40 miles from here, it was a Sunday. Motorcycle racing. Had 12 plates. Was very careful, shutter speed 1/1000th, (Mistake). Developed Monday morning, decided I had 3/4 crackers, rest totally acceptable. Boss came and looked at them, held the plates up to the light, and, one after the other, dropped them into the bucket. Too good, pin sharp, excellent detail, but all looked liked still pictures, however good. Downcast is not the word! A lot clearer when I was shown his results. Taken at 1/100th, blurred as they should be, sharp/detail, where they should. Lesson learned. At Charterhall another aerodrome, both were wartime, year later, eight out of twelve taken were used in National papers. Lesson applied. Ed.
How about this classic Royal Enfield? "Made Like A Gun", is the legend wrote large on the badge.
Is that a UK original or the India replica?
Wall-E,
The Red one is a UK original. it's a 500 twin, with the gear change on the right hand side and rear brake pedal fitted on the left..
This one.
Is the Indian 'replica'. As can be seen, this one is a fuel injected single cylinder 500. As opposed to the original Twin cylinder which had an Amel Monoblock Carburetor fitted. I believe the Thunder Flash had twin Carbs fitted. In addition, the Indian replica has the gear change fitted on the left and the rear brake pedal fitted on the right hand side like the Japanese bikes do. Additionally, the inclusion of 'indicators' on the Indian bike is also something of a giveaway.
To someone of my age, this feels all wrong, it works fine, but just FEELS wrong.
Regards.
Phil.

Taken at a car show in my home town. Sorry I don't know what the vehicle is. It was taken with my old T2i and Sigma 18-250 lens F7.1 ISO 200 1/125 sec.
