So what are my thoughts? Well, it’s fun and different, that’s for sure. However I think I need to make a couple of modifications. Firstly, the viewfinder – it needs upgrading. Looking through a single rectangle doesn’t work, as a minimum, you need two rectangles. This is probably going to be too tricky to do, both in terms of focal length and general aim, so I’m going to try a gun sight. It won’t help my composition, but should at least allow me to centre my shots.

Secondly, the wrist strap. I thought it was ‘useless’, but now I realise it is more attention seeking than Paris Hilton. Too many of my shots feature it, although never on all three parts as they aren’t lined up.

Finally, it’s a good shutter speed for panning, giving a good level of background blur. Here is my favorite shot of the film;

I wanted to try panning, so went to a place I thought might have some good passing cars, just the otherside of my village. As it was, the parking place was way lower than the road, and of the first 4 cars, one was a TVR, and the other was this GT40, a replica I assume. I lucked out and got a great photo.

It does show the difficulty I have in aiming, especially vertically. I must fix that. Anyway, I’ve put it on flickr and added it to ‘score my car. I can’t wait to see the comments. I’m expecting scores in the 3/10 range, especially as most photos in that group are uber sharp. This is a bit out there for them, lets see what they say…
