Now that the track based motorsport season is upon us once again I was out at Oulton Park on Saturday to photograph the first round of the National Legends Championship. This is a great little race series, the cars are very quirky being 5/8 "replicas" inspired by the hot rodded saloons that were...

I absolutely love my XT-3, I use it mainly for landcape shots - I still use the Canon exclusively for motorsport, but for landscape and nature shots the Fuji is a lovely thing to use, it's kept in manual pretty much full time. These were taken in the Lakes a week or two before Christmas when we...

Sorry for late reply, it's been a busy weekend. I got my sensor cleaning kit from Amazon - this is the one, it left no residue whatsoever https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01B0TX6UA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Thanks, glad you like them :giggle:

I think we must live parellel lives, I had MX5s until I bought the Frog. The last one I had imported from Japan in 2015, it was the quite rare RS version of the mk1 which was only made for the Jap market with just 500 of them made. I've had 2 mk3s as well, an 1800 and a 2 litre - nothing...

Sounds an interesting one Nod, I've seen a couple with the rear deck cut away. I must admit I have trouble getting out of mine some days, I can get in it ok though. The only 682 I can find on the Frog register is this one but it's not blue sadly...

It wasn't a blue or bronze one was it? My Frog's light blue - used to be bronze in a past life, before 1997 - and has had some competition history we think as it's a modified 1275 overbored to 1300 and even has an oil catch tank - needed for some racing - and a race / rally cam. Reg is XLK...

Couple of videos for you Richard, I followed Aniket as he was developing this thing and even spoke to him via FB messenger on a few occasions, he's a lovely bloke and incredibly clever. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcDrCGJSL8k View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYzuqAX2A3A

Richard, have you ever seen one of these Enfield "Musket" engines? I remember the guy who builds them starting up maybe 8 or 9 years ago when I was still riding bikes (gave it up in 2017). I have a couple of old classic cars now - a '59 Frogeye Sprite and '72 MGB. GT - but still like to keep...

To be fair that's not something I'd have thought of, but seeing as I'm considering swapping the XT-3 for an XT-4 it's certainly something to be aware of - thanks!

I had an SX200 in my youth, but I didn't go in for all the mirrors and bling etc, in fact just the opposite it was pretty stripped out with the only "extras" being an Ancilotti seat and exhaust. It was stolen and never recovered but I discovered motorbikes with the insurance payout. I packed in...

That was a consideration and for that reason the actual cylinder stayed outside my room and only the hose came in. My photo room never gets that dusty anyway really, it gets vacuumed every other day and it's got wooden flooring - no carpets to trap dust. I keep the dust down because all my...

I was out over the Moors at Bowland a couple of months ago shooting some landcapes, it was a shocker of day - quite stormy but the light and clouds were pretty spectacular. I took the XT-3 which I love using to shoot landscapes but I changed lenses few times during the day and noticed a few...

I'll comment, only just seen thisfor the first time and actually said "Wow" to myself. Lovely shot!

That clears that up then Steve :giggle:
