Was it you?

Saw a red RX8 today cruising along Banstead High Street, the first I have seen on the road.

Was it you?

I dont think it was me. Mine is black and I've never been to Bristol or Banstead High Street.

Unhappy

Glad you liked them, it was blowing a gale up on the A38 flyover, and there was quite a bit of drizzle, at least thats why I think my face was wet. Luckily I was using the Olympus C2100UZ which has a mechanically stabalised 10x optical zoom.

Didn't have the settings right for the first three shots of the high flyover, so needed a bit of linear equalisation. The picturs of the final landing approach were taken with the multishot mode. Out of about 10 the final 4 are those were where I managed to get the whole aircraft in.

The extra shots did come in useful, as there was damn great lamppost right in the middle of shot 14, but was able to clone that out with the bits from the others. Shot 15 is the result of two joined together, which I'll have to redo some time, as its quite obvious roumd the nose.

Unfortuantely I couldn't get any shots on the runway, as she dissapeared behind the Royal Mail sorting office, never to be seen again (in the air anyway) :o

Cheers

Copperband,

We're picking up our black rx8 from Eastgate on Saturday morning - 34 hours, 13 minutes to go...approximately! Not that I'm excited at all.....
