I find the Registration Number of the Saab and the lettering on the vans in the background somewhat distracting.

This photo is from my first film with the Fuji GX617.  I realise that it is not one of the world's greatest panoramas but wanted to share it with you.  I took the image vertically as the horizontal view didn't have much of interest (I wanted to finish the film as it was my first one!).  As many of you know you only get 4 frames per roll of 120 - the first one was OK (of the end of a London Fashion Week catwalk show - lots of contrast), the second one failed (I may have forgotten to cock the shutter!), and the third one was also from the fashion show.  I scanned this image on an Epson Perfection V750 Pro using a Lomography Digitaliza 120 Film Scanning Mask.

I have just been going through some old boxes and came across some

Xpan photographs I took in Barcelona a while ago. I decided to scan some

of the images and then put this group together as a single image. I hope

you like it.

I was very pleased to be able to blend an image from backstage of the

make-up artist's sketch pad with details of the products to be used, with

an image of one of the models as they came down the catwalk to show

how the make-up scheme worked.

Dear All,

I took this photograph at the Truck Superprix held at Brands Hatch on 29 March.

The trucks lap the circuit at an average speed of just under 70 mph with smoke

coming from the squealing tyres and steam coming from the brakes. The race was

won by David Ball (pictured here) and I love the fact that despite travelling at nearly

100 mph he is looking behind him.

Best Wishes

I had just decided not to take any more photos of individual cars and would wait for

when I could get two in the same frame when these two came together at the exit of

a corner and then spun into the gravel trap. This is one from the sequence. I

submitted it to Autosport (the leading UK motorsport magazine) but heard nothing

from them.

Best Wishes

This image was taken at the end of the regular tour of the Capitol Building. I had been

chatting with the guide and he invited me back up into the Main Hall and said that his

favourite view was of the inside of the dome with the George Washington statue in the

foreground. I'm really glad he took me back up so that I could capture this.

Best Wishes

Ian
