Title: Old Volks
Post by: Flippy on July 21, 2018, 08:35:44 AM

The local VW rally was last month. I stopped by with the Pilot 6 and shot a roll.

It was fun as usual, but getting pretty hot. Surprisingly did not have any really old cars show up this time, mostly 60's and 70's volkswagens. Last year, this really nice split window was there:

Still, any excuse to pull out the old Pilot 6 is a good one. I'm starting to think that I might be the most prolific user of Pilot 6 cameras today  :D

Nice pictures, Flippy. I especially like the circular sun flare on about the 6th picture. My first car was a red Bug. Well, when I say 'mine', it was my Mum's. Until I crashed it. Then it was definitely hers.

Nice work indeed.
The opening shot brought back similar memories:

Thanks for the comments.

That circular lens flare is something the Pilot does more consistently than any other camera I've used.

Skorj, interesting shot. Care must've been "vintage" already in that photo judging by the later high back seats and the style of skis.

Indeed it was!
Great little machine though for a new couple...
