Went along to the NSRA Supernationals yesterday and it was an awesome day out. The weather was scorching and that always brings out the best cars. The show field was full before midday.

Check out more in the flickr set.

30 Photos Over Lunch

Author: Nick

Went out my my phone today at lunch time to take some shots using the Hipstamatic app. I wasn’t expecting the camera in the iPhone 4 to be anywhere near as good as it is. The most amazing part is that there is no shutter lag as you can see from the chap in front of the squares, I was able to get him exactly where I wanted him in the shot. It’s also amazing being able to process and upload straight to flickr from the “camera”. I’m sure internet uploading must come to a DLSR at some point, the press must be crying out for it.

I met up with Knoxville Roxie the other day who I worked with on a couple of shoots for Custom Car. The purpose of the shoot was to get some shots of the ‘57 Chevy as I hadn’t done a shoot with it. We got some fun shots in the hot weather. Check out the rest in the flickr set.

Hip To Be Square

Author: Nick

For a while I’ve been in search for a “digital Holga” and I’ve finally found what I was looking for. Hipstamatic is an app available on the iPhone and other platforms that turns your phone into a film camera emulator. You can choose from a range of different film types, lenses and flashes, upgrading the choice for a small fee. It’s great fun and it’s cool to have it with you at all times. I’m going to shoot a project with it soon but meanwhile here are a few snaps. See more in my flickr.

As usual Goodwood Festival of Speed was epic in just about every way. I was lucky enough to help get one of the cars to this years event, Lord March had been reading the feature I shot of Steve Withers 32 for Custom Car and decided he would love to have it at the Festival of Speed.  I was able to put Julius Thurgood in touch with Steve and the arrangements were made. Steve’s cars was part of the Cars and Songs line-up on the cricket pitch and a troop of dancers performed to the theme of each car. The theme for Steve’s car was Little Deuce Coupe by the Beach Boys.  Also at the show were some famous rodders with their cars. Jeff Beck brought his 32 Coupe, Billy Gibbons brought Cadzilla and Eric Clapton brought a Shoebox Ford. Carrying on the songs and cars theme, you’ll see that some of the shots are inspired by a ZZ Top song.

Had a visit from Nefarious (Simon) today - www.pinstriping.co.uk who did a great job. I wanted to incorporate the hood bird from a 55 Chevy into the design as the 57 is the only Tri Chevy without a bird. It also fits with the Passenger 57 name of the car.
