On Sunday 4th of Jan I was invited to a meet up held in Warwickshire (Leamington Spa) so I decided to get the all polished up and go down and say hi to a few people... I like meeting new people, thats what it's about.

I met up with some of the guys on the way to which some couldn't carry on as they only had £3 for petrol... I was thinking... lol how far would £3 get me in the

It was about -5 on the evening and got knows what it was in the day but i still managed to clean, clay, paint clean, polish and wax with meguires whilst it was snowing before I went... not that it helped much by the time i got there.

Heres some pics for you to enjoy





















Thanks to everyone to came up to say hi and have a good old chat I enjoyed the night but damnnnnn it was cold!!!

Looks like you had a good night out. I also like the moving shots, it makes the cars look like ghosts. How did you manage to take them? By driving slowly on long exposure like the ones we tried to take at Hams Hall? Or some other way?

They did indeed. The focus guys were really keen on getting involved once i got them to press the button on my camera whilst i did the first shot. I think the rally style black mk1 came out really well coming across like that... was a great idea of myself

Exactly... me and Sarah were messing around with my mobile phone at home and we sorted all the options out for it.

I had the shutter on a 30 second open speed so was just crawling into the shot and stopping to get those ones... the Black one came zooming up pretty quick and it still got the same effect so it's all good... we can get some really interesting shots now with the now we know how to do it.

I look forwards to meeting up with you. I just hope you are a patient guy lol as things get a little crazy when the cameras come out lol... it produces some really great effects though... put the work in and get the rewards from it

You have a great idea going there kev... i've got some ideas also that I want to do... including...

Going on a bridge over a dualcarrageway... flying down... stopping just before the bridge so the camera pics up the cars... then take another to get the cars fully... then put them together... it would make a brilliant photo!!!
