[Steve Smith]

Didn't read the Motorsports bit!

 

[Craikeybaby]

I'm guessing these are film MOTORSPORT/TRANSPORT shots

There is a generic film shots thread in the film forum. I'll see if I have any scanned motorsport images when I get home.

I was scanning some old film shots last week!

I know its not great, but it makes me smile.

It was taken with my dads Zenith at Donington during the transatlantic trophy meet in the 80's. I don't think you can shoot from there anymore..........

Matt
thanks for the opportunity, I havent got so excited for a long time.
Below are three all taken with a Minolta SRT101.

This is the Brabham pit at the 1973 British GP Silverstone, can you imagine getting this close now

I think this is Tony Brookes September23rd 1973 Mallory Park Special Saloons
attempt at slow panning

Another Mallory Park special saloons shot from the same date, see the Tog in the middle of the hairpin !!

36 shots in a day was all I could afford and it was a week later before you got your prints back.
Great Days

 

[Matt Sayle]

I am a huge fan of classic racing and love seeing it how it should be recorded Love them last ones!!

 

[asterix]

Chrisbie, That statement about 36 shots and 7 days made me chuckle.

 

[james-rally-nut]

we need a rally photographer all the rally togs will know to sign up and post with his film pics! anyone guess who i mean?
Great idea to matt love the film shots, might get some of mine know i learn't how to develope my own !

 

[andrewc]

You can still get up the middle at Mallory if you're signed on as media

 

[Gary]

all my film shots are pretty rubbish as i didnt really make much effort with my old point and shoot minolta

i quite like this one though

 

[desantnik]

Love the shots in this thread!

Retro motorsport photos are superb

 

[foggy4ever]

Quality not great I was right at the back of the stand, laconi cursing the mickey mouse chicane at silverstone WSB.:bang:

 

[desantnik]

Nori in the lead I see though

That's Frankie isnt it on #11?

In that case you need to find a spare tenner and pick up a cheap EOS film body from the bay and get snapping. I really enjoy shooting film alongside digital it really adds to the fun of a days shooting, especially the wait to get the pics back from processing.

 

[foggy4ever]

#11 is corser, frankie was #7

 

[desantnik]

Doh stupid me, of course!

I love that. Even more so in todays PC cotton wool culture. I think that's great shows an era gone by

Galloway Hills Rally 2006
First time out with a film camera, never had a clue how to work it, the ISO was far to high but heres on that actaully looks not bad

A local autotest and I took the film camera out again, nothing special due to my bad lack of photography knowledge at the time.

Fantstic shots, I love the old stuff

I'd love to be able to shoot from there now

 

[Brian P]

Matt, great idea for a thread. You got me going through the old photos. This is my first attempt at posting a photo ! I thought rallying was under represented in your thread so here is a grainy scan of the awesome Tony Drummond with Dave Richards alongside on the Harewood Hillclimb stage of the 1974 RAC Rally.

Can anyone tell me how to get better results when scanning slides ? PLEASE !
I have photos of Firenzas, Dolomites, etc I would like to share.

 

[RichardC27]

Excellent thread Matt, and some excellent old school photos here. I've got loads of film shots going back to about 1999 or so, but no scanner to put them on. This is all I have, from British GT at Oulton Park in 2008 (my last ever shoot with film before I went digital).

I love how the 70's style film also comes with the 70's style hairdo

(excuse me if I've got the wrong timeframe, I'm a 90's kid )

(excuse me if I've got the wrong timeframe, I'm a 90's kid )

Nearly there, that looks like the early 80s to me

 

[Rab34]

yep it was the early 80's, this one was taken at the same meet. A 13 year old me was stood on the wall (no fencing back then) when Randy Mamola approached and did a nice bit of showboating for me!

 

[nilagin]

A few of mine from the 90's I had a Yashica 35MM Compact. I knew very little about photography.

 

[wull]

Great idea Matt.

Got me up in the loft digging through my old photos
Crap photos but great memorys for me of the wee fella starting out racing

 

[Matt Sayle]

That could be a very good picture in a few years. 'before they were famous' type thing.

 

[suntiger1965]

cant believe the crouds in the early shots???? where is everyone, especially the mamola photo??
