Event Coverage Santa Maria 2010 - Pictures!

I'm using a Canon A-1 that was built in the late 70s. It's great because it's so manual, Auto-Nothing. It makes me slow down and think about the shots.

Nice job! Pics were worth the wait. Nothin' like slowin' down an' thinkin', some should take note.

 

yes

 

good lookin pics joe, it'd be cool to see you out at round up next year

 

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

 

Oh, man... I'd LOVE to go to the Roundup!

 

The bike on the Falcon rancho is rad!
Joe are those 4 spoke cragers on the Falcon hauler? if so have you got any close ups
or full shot of the little pick up? I'd like to see how they tuck in front. Thanx.

 

It looks like that event is recovering well since moving from Paso . thanks for the pics .

 

cool. what camera are you shooting with ?

i too have an old cannon A-1, all manual. have not used it in a while since i like downloading my pics now. i just use a cheap sony sureshot.
obviously you scanned the pics to the computer, what brand scanner are you using ?
thanks again.

I take my file to the developer and instead of getting prints they throw it all on a CD for me. http://www.nelsonphotosupplies.com

You should break out that old camera, they are alot of fun!

Great photo's, Joe! Thank you for sharing them and your trip...

Joel

 

I only popped those 2 pix of the Ranchero/ Bobber setup.

Thanks man.

I never made it to the show when it was in Paso. Santa Maria was damn fun, though!

- Joe

 

wow, no kidding ? i never knew they could take a roll of film and put it on a CD. amazing. shows you how up to date on things i am. LOL. i will have to see if york photo has that service too. i send my film to them since they are way cheaper than the local walgreens. or i will check out the place you use.
yea, i love my manual A-1. bought it in 1983 and have tons of pics of drag racing, nascar, vacations, etc. i have a 35mm lens and a 75-210mm zoom.
what lens did you use on those close up shots ? i gotta get me one of those and start using it again. probably been at least 5 years since i have used it.
thanks for the info man, i appreciate it. sorry to get a little off topic.

Great pics

 

Great photos, Joe, I like the film to CD results. You are an inspiration. I'm going to dig out my old Minolta Maxxum and put it back in service.

The AD Chevy with the Caddy bumper was at Goodguys in Pleasanton. That truck was my pick of the show. Here's a picture:

 

Nice composition. It's pretty hard not to be in the picture when there is so much chrome, huh..
I hope to see some of your SLR work in upcoming art shows!

The Crystal Ship!

 

cool pics

 

It's a 50mm Fixed Depth Lens. I also have a basic UV filter on there. I think that for me the real trick was not having a camera that thinks for you. No auto focus. No zoom. Not even auto-wind. I have to slow down, think about the shot and everything in the background.

I'd like to pickup a fish-eye... but I really enjoy the setup I have now.

thanxs

 

I like the pics of my trachero and triumph!! thanks man! i was litterally across the grass from you and didnt even get a chance to say hi... damn man!

 

You are welcome!

Man I was staring at it all Saturday. There is something really damn cool about a beautiful motorcycle in the back of a perfect little pickup.

- Joe

 

Man i appretiate that!! thank you!!

 

thanks for the info joe. your beautiful pics have inspired me to start using my old manual camera again. i just dug it out. havent used it in at least 5 years. now that i know i can put the film on a CD i will use it more.
old skool man....
like you said, i love the fact you have to get everything set right and think about it before you snap a pic.
here is my 1983 cannon AL-1. and i too have the 50mm fixed lens and the 75-205 zoom. gonna look into one of those fish eye lens too, when i get the extra cash.
thanks again.

Go man Go!
