ANOTHER NEW TRUCK LOCATION FILMED

Although the weather is very mixed I'm loathe not to get any new filming done and have been waiting for a chance to cover the distribution centre traffic around Cannock after discovering the volume while traveling to Birmingham airport on our way to Cyprus. Getting anything filmed is turning into a nightmare with the foul weather we've had through August and September so far albeit not on the same level as that in the Caribbean. Anyway Cannock isn't too far away if it didn't work out, it certainly started out with blue sky and smaller amounts of cloud but it did bubble up eventually with sunny periods. Notwithstanding that after I'd had a scout around I settled on the roundabout at Bridgton near Cannock which has a heavy volume of trucks on several roads.

You can't get everything from one position and as the sun moves round I'm sure new possibilities emerge. I think less was more as they say and picking one road with the sun nicely placed was better than lots of snatched poorer shots even if they were in greater quantity.  I was using on of my old Cannon cameras for the still shots, the replacement for the G16 was at home when I got back but not a lot of shots as the oldie doesn't really process them quick enough at high speeds, the latest small efforts which I returned for yet another G16 are even faster but with touch screens a nightmare to use with old fingers but the G12 was a reminder of how much they have progressed. Even at the rate I consume cameras I'd never had to throw one away after just four weeks. Shows how much rain we had on the walk this year, I'm just about to edit the shots for public consumption and fund raising.

I've got clips on Youtube for Heart of the Pennines and Chatham rallies from 1998, then I've done Cobham at Brooklands in 1998  and still to load the copy for the subscription channel and for downloading on our regular channel although trailers are on there already.  The next retro Rally Round 1998 feature will be Barry Island near Cardiff 1998. Following that North Weald, Crowthorne, and Warminster running day. Somewhere in between I'll edit the two new truck films taken today at Cannock. Here are some shots I took with the old camera, lucky the battery had juice as I'd have to had searched for the charger. I've still got the transport cine film to list on Ebay, never stops. Still no quote on the Lych gate roof repair, I knew it would be difficult roofers are in high demand, always.
