Mini DM: Oldtimer Festival Zandvoort

This morning, Domien an I visited the Oldtimer Festival on the Zandvoort circuit.
It was a pleasant outage with windy but dry and mostly sunny weather.
Lots to see and capture. Also an ideal event to practice the panning skills .

As usual, well start with the 'group shot', in front of the tribune.

FS-1



FS-2


FS-3



FS-4


A7R2 + Tamron FE f2.8/28-200mm

More to come, but some homework to do with an SD card full of shots

Fred, I trust you're calling it the Oldtimer Festival after Domien?

Lovely introduction, and looking forward to seeing much more of these classic sports cars - overall plus in the detail.

Thanks for kicking it off Fred and Peter, Joe thanks for your wise comments

IMpressive Maserati in FS-3 Fred and Car-interior (FS-2) looks American

I have been panning almost the whole day (a1 70200GMii). It was easy to get the shots sharp, but difficult to get a good 'move'. I'll show some of them later.

I'll start this off with shots with the Lensbaby Edge80. It produces a thin plane of sharpness, of a sharp spot. Anyway, an example

#dp1

it has a feeling of miniaturizing the subject. This IS a normal Citroen SM

#dp2 Jaguar Burr walnut wood


#dp3 Merces: chrome, plastic and leather


#dp4 American car: chrome, plastic, ..


#dp5 Saab Sportscar (1968)


#dp6


#dp7 The Saab we all now and love


#dp8 Mercedes: fitting set of suitcases(but use plastic bags to prevent usage)


#dp9 Another jaguar


#dp10 An early porsche


#dp10 repaired


#dp11 pontiac with horizontal fous loine


#dp12 small area of focus


The Lensbaby Edge80 is a fun lens. I should use it more often

Howard_S wrote: I’m enjoying the set already. I like dp10 - is that the sort of Porsche Dutch highway police used to drive?

I think so. The Dutch police have been using the 356-model.
I'm no car expert and couldn't find the model name.

Fred_S wrote: Not sure about the brand of the FS-2 interior.

Fred, FS-2 is the classic E-type Jaguar (XKE). You can see the Growler emblem in the centre of the steering wheel, and the bonnet bulge and air intakes confirm it.

Great photos so far from both of you.
Wonderful that such a collection comes together for the aficionados to appreciate and the togs to photograph.
Some rare models in display, and all so beautifully maintained and presented.

More please.

Thanks, Jack, Joe

It was fun to see.
All kinds of people had brushed their garage gems to show off.
I was particularly surprised about the number of cars per brand.
They had to extend the parking for Citroen DS, Lotus, and MG's)
More photos to follow

Fred FS-14 can be put in the advertising brochure

Thanks, Peter

It is a feature. One can get small windows of sharpness. the larger the aperture the smaller it gets. By moving the lens you can have the windows in any direction you want.

As an experiment to show the effect, I once made these photos (without moving the camera)


Now back to the old cars...
