TRAFFORD PARK ANOTHER NEW TRUCK LOCATION

I can't believe we haven't already done any filming at Trafford Park as its a superb place despite indifferent weather this morning. We were up early and off to the VW dealers ready to get stung nearly a grand getting the van services. The mileage may be low but we hit all the renewals on length of time rather than the mileage. So it was new this and new that all the way. While it was in we set off to find good spots around the park and decided that the roundabout near by was a good shot. Later I realised there is a container port or transfer area further up which looked a likely spot for another day. We are sure to return there soon and this gives yet another new location and of course does prompt me that i need to get some bus coverage in this week. The weather and our chores can sometimes dictate matters but I'm looking out for windows of opportunity all the time.

Tonight as well as running off the Trafford Park truck DVD master I'm also copying some Standard 8 cine film, its two reels of a Norway tour undertaken in 1961 giving about an hour, about as good as amateur cine can get especially considering the weather and difficult lighting conditions ion those latitudes. I'cve found that the smaller cine size which was favourite amongst most people entices the photographer to undertake shots of all manner of street scenes and not eschew the trams and buses as is the case with the chauffeured 16mm rich folk who stop he film at anything which smacks of ordinary people preferring the natives to be lined up for shots. Photos needless to say from todays truck session
