Blog A Pic – MITP At Santa Pod

Santapod Dragstrip

This weekend saw us out with our MINI Clubman at Santa Pod in Northamptonshire for the Mini In The park show. You can read about our day at the show here.

This photo was one I grabbed showing a jet powered Mini waiting to “jet off” at the start of the strip and I wanted to feature it here as I was very pleased with the black and white version and the crispness that you can get with the Fuji X-E1. This was my favourite photo from the day but you can view  more that we shot here.

At the same time we also had our Canon 400D with us, shod with a Sigma 70- 300mm lens and we were quite pleased with some of the zoomed shots we were able to get with this, such as this one below.

We went to Wilton House on the 4th August and had some great fun photographing the supercars and classic that were on display there. the Porsches were probably our favourites  and this view was shared by a lot of others it would seem. This shot is our fastest to a 1000 views on Flickr that we have ever posted, reaching the 1000 hurdle in just 4 days!

Check out the rest of our X-E1 photos from the day here!

Movie Of The Week – Ferrari Dino 208 GT4

This is another delightful video from Petrolicious – more than worthy of being our Movie of The Week.

The Ferrari Dino 208 GT4 is a unique car. Overshadowed by its bigger brother, the 308 GT4, the 208 was originally created to skirt under the Italian tax levied on engines above two liters. What the 208 GT4 lacks in displacement it makes up for in sound and style. For Bradley Price, designer and owner of Autodromo, the opportunity to acquire a practical “super car” of the ’70s with its famous wedge styling was too hard to ignore. After a year of ownership, Bradley can consistently be found escaping the city and revving the sweet-sounding V8 along the roads and hills of New York.

It’s not the perfect camera but it is an excellent combination of quality images and retro good looks – it’s tempting. Take a look at CNET’s review and see what you think.
