track opens at 10 and closes a 5

Thanks Mr. M
Just thought that it may provide some interest for people and for a good price.
You have access to all areas and food, and can get into the pits, this not young a load of young people with flash cars it is mostly old farts like me, with a good mix of old and new Lotus cars with some rare classics of you are lucky.

FREE panning practise.
Club Lotus track day at Castle Combe 23 May
spectators free, this will be a good opportunity to practise panning shots.
For this who don’t know the track is just north of Bristol.
May see you there.

I like Richard prefer my point and shoot to be very small, I have C*** ixus 800 6mp camera and have had some pictures printed at A1 size. My pall who owned the a1 photo printer was very dismayed when he looked at the final prints, as he has Canon 1d mk2 and did not want believe what he was seeing.
A semipro. Wedding photographer spent a long time looking at the prints and refused to believe that it had been taken with such a small camera.
I think that a small camera with well balanced components (lens, censor and software) must be looked at in different light.
All the above doesn’t mean that my K10 will be going any time soon.

Tamrac Neoprene shock absorber camera strap
This strap is brand new with all the original labels attached, it was supplied in error.
I don’t know how grippy it is but it has mat neoprene finish so I would not expect it to be too bad.
The current SRS price is £17.99 I am looking for £10.00 + £2 for postage if you don’t want to collect.

Remember me (free flash man Ledbury) I have 2 Tamrac straps both brand new, 1 wide pro. Type and 1 neoprene shock absorber strap, they will be for sale when I get round to putting them on this site.
The pat remaining on the camera is about 84mm.
Come over and have a look.
