Morris Minor Picture challenge........

[Cam]

Don't Moggys suite country tree lined roads.... some nice pictures there
I like your drive to work Cam... beats driving to Newcastle like you did a few years ago

Mal

They certainly do! That camera on my phone does not do justice to those lanes. plus the light was going plus excuses, excuses.

It certainly beats 3-4 hours of motorway Mal, that's a fact.

Not to mention the freezing temperatures, snow, fog and rain and more rain! I could just do with a bit of your red dirt roads and sun!

[bouncingoffthewalls]

maybe we could just trade for a day or two!

once things get fixed here mechanically here i cant wait to get some pics in the comp!!

at the moment i am commited to laps around the block!! hopefully my dreams of making it to the beach will become real soon!!

I have had my car out 5 times this year, and its rained at some point on 4 of those trips!

Bit of your sun would not go amiss now and then, but you can keep the spiders *shudder*

Lots of good entries this week.

After much deliberation I've chosen this picture by Stevey as the winner:


I love lots of things about it: the composition, the colours, the tunnel of trees arching over the road with light at the end, and the mottled reflections in the car's paintwork and window.

Honourable mention goes to this photo from Cam:


The picture quality isn't brilliant but there's something about it that for me captures the essence of driving along a country lane in a Minor.

Over to Stevey to pick the next topic. Here are the past topics:

Red phonebox
Pub called The Crown
Church with spire
Police person
Windmill
Race track
Double decker bus

Tree-lined lane

[stevey]

it really getting difficult to pick topics. If anyone has any ideas?? In the mean time what about a typical 1950s/1960s scene? Like your minor and a picnic or at the beach or something you could mistake for a 1950s picture. Its a bit vague but see what you come up with....

[mrbenn]

Bit "out there" but just to get things going:



The Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank, built in 1957. And my Minor, built in 1966. Bet this scene would not have looked too different back then

[d_harris]

Went for a Jodrell did you?

[mrbenn]

Yes, yes I did. They were doing work on the planetarium though..... oh wait I see what did there. Tsk tsk.

This is a real 1950's picture the car I came home from hospital in..<br><br>

[DAVIDMCCULLOUGH]

This was taken on a film shoot, a night scene outside the old hospital in Templemore Avenue with another minor and a Bedford Ambulance as well as several other old cars you cant see, films supposed to be out by the end of March but havent saw it listed yet.<br><br>

Same movie, but looks much more peroid in black and white!<br><br>

well done stevey , keeping the flag flying for nonthern ireland

[kjm]

pictures look good David , film is to be shown on BBC 1 here and BBC 2 on the mainland

[Peetee]

Do the film companies ask for clean cars for use in period films? It seems to me these productions would be a lot more realistic (to us anoracks ) if 90% of the cars weren't concourse and had dents and rust instead.

[wibble_puppy]

But if the film is set in the year the car was made, then the car would be brand spankin' new, so no dents or rust
