Brooks' Photos

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you folks, I am trying some different formats and getting decent results. However, Portrait for the moon,...................does not work. Makes it way to soft.

Great pics Aaron, and nicely captured considering the lighting conditions.
If the first pic in Post # 2891 is a Ford Popular, I used to have one of those for a short period, many years ago !
I think I paid £5 for it, and sold it for £10 to a fellow student at the time !!

Terry, it is a Anglia. Not sure if that's is the same thing or not sir.

Beautiful shots my friend!

Isn't it great that people have hobbies that want to preserve these machines. It helps to make the world a much brighter place. Great pictures Aaron.

I like the pictures with the cloudy weather. Makes the light better, I think. Good job.

Basically yes, Aaron. From what I remember, the Anglia was the later, 'upgraded' version, circa mid to latish 1950's.
In the early 1960's, here in the UK, we got a 'new' Anglia, in the then 'modern' style, getting away from the 'sit up and beg' (as we called it) intermediate styling between 30's/40's design, to the early 50's. This Anglia had the rear window angled inwards, from top to bottom, probably by about 35 to 45 degrees, which made for great rear vision in wet weather.
My Dad had one, which I sort of used as my 'first' car sometimes, and, after a bit of a front-end shunt (not by me!), he replaced the entire front end with a moulded glass-fibre unit, which hinged forward, and braced the McPherson struts, among other mods, with the idea of using it for track racing, which never happened!

Thank you David.

Thank you Vic, I restore cars for a living.

Thank you Marcel, I have found I like shooting in cloudy weather more than bright sunlight for that very reason. Dusk and dawn just don't last long enough.

Interesting history Terry, I will have to see if I can find some photos so those. Over here the Anglia was and is very popular for conversion into a drag car. There size and weight being almost perfect. Like this model, which has been heavily modified.

Love the Anglia. Buddy had one and used to race it on Vancouver Island. Went over one time to watch and he was racing another one, both cars were the same color as the one in your photo.

Now that version, I would have loved when a student ! It would have cost me more than a 'Fiver' though, even then !!

Thank you George.

I went hiking again Monday. Took a couple friends up to the Channels. I have posted photos before from there back in 2010 I believe it was. But here are some from yesterday. These were taken with my 6D and the 50mm f/1.4 lens.

Good shots Aaron, I particularly like the rock formation on pic 2, looks like lava dripping.

 

[Shinpachi]

Amazingly beautiful shots, Aaron!
Worth waited

Thank you folks, I had fun but I was really sore for two days after the hike up. I will post more in a couple days. Got a lot going on.
