WAKEFIELD AND HUDDERSFIELD COMPLETE

I was only one DVD off finishing all the Asian trip yesterday which I got done when I got back from Yorkshire, there are a few odds and ends to do, a bit of filing but really thats the back of it broken and I've turned my attention to getting the photos sorted ready for filing which first mean deleting the views I don't need. usually there are about 3 shots per vehicle. The Malaysian trucks have come out really well, I didn't quite appreciate the variety I'd captured whizzing through the video but with photos you are looking at each image however briefly. I got Mandy's taxi sorted for her return in March from Sri Lanka. After a day in Yorkshire filming buses I'm nearly ready for another trip to somewhere warm. It was a very successful trip to Wakefield and met my friend Phil there who does stills.

The variety of operators and vehicles is astounding, it really is a worthwhile destination and now Arriva are starting to apply their near logo, I'm sure it looks a bit like Centro's. Anyway after that I had a brew at Cafe Nero, worst branch I've ever visited, never offered to heat cake or cream and couldn't move inside it was like an obstacle course. Then carried on across country to Huddersfield, the visit made harder as the sun came out, not forecast and with clouds and sun in out, in out it;s hard to get exposures right on shots which may take several minutes. Over the hills back in Cheshire where it was going to be sunny needless to say it was cloudy, still the BBC can't run a knees up in a brewery. I thought I'd give viewers a couple of slide shows with trucks in Port Klang near KL and today at Wakefield. The Wakefield DVD is already complete, just the cover to make and by the end of the evening I should have Huddersfield done as well. I was hoping to cover Liverpool tomorrow but it will have to be wherever cloud seems more likely.
