GESO - Airborne 8
Yay! Finally got time to get out and use my camera and new flash (AF360FGZ), the latter a birthday present from my son. He's a recent Pentax convert too, having recently purchased one of those Russian 16mm lenses for his K100D Super. Anyway, enough of that... Went in to Motor-Ex a couple of weeks ago. Motor-Ex is an annual hot-rod show held at Sydney's Olympic Park. There's always a good combination of traditional rods and later custom beat-boxes, as well as custom bikes and vintage cars. Doesn't matter what you are looking at, creativity and workmanship is always first-class. My neighbour, Bluey - remember him? http://picasaweb.google.com/petergly/OnePhoto#5404253613717348338 - is heavily involved in the local hot rod scene, and has been for many, many years. His daily driver is a VW beetle with a 302 CU V8 in the FRONT; 500,000 km at last count. But his latest creation is astounding - it's here - http://picasaweb.google.com/petergly/Airborne8?authkey=Gv1sRgCJCb383H2f__Tg#. This car is constructed from pieces of 62 other cars, built between the early 30's and the mid-60's. The design is wholly his own, the construction a 7-year exercise involving a small band of friends (and a couple of neighbours). The Airborne 8 was unveiled at Motor-Ex to a very appreciative crowd. All taken with my trusty ist-DL, a Pentax DA II 18-55mm and the new AF360FGZ (used in some, not all). Enjoy! Comments, etc most welcome.
