Drifting, cows and worldwide pinhole day

A little trip out today with three lenses and three separate targets in mind.

First two objectives were at the same location, the curious amalgamation of drift racing and a livestock show at the Chaiyapruk stadium. The drift racing seemed to be 95% shouting commentator and 5% drifting, so I took a couple of shots and gave up.

Inside the stadium there was the usual collection of sad-eyed, pampered cows. More importantly there was air-con so I wandered around for a while.

Next it was time to celebrate worldwide pinhole day. So on went my Pinwide lens and off I went to find something to point it at.

Three very different types of fun with three very different lenses. A good Sunday afternoon outing.

Thanks Spike for the WWPD …. first I thought “He is gone nuts” … then …“There are many more people totally nuts” …. and I love it! Some people really did go back to the basics of making photos.

For the truly insane, learn how to make a pinhole camera out of a beer can and expose an image for six months; http://youtu.be/wtZOWEB_wcI

I am, and I’m going to do it! Check back with me in nine months (just to allow for the incompetence factor…)

That’s a comment that could have a relevance in a number of situations.

And very probably does. Sanity is, after all, just a state of mind and there are many out there who loudly assert their sanity and who you certainly wouldn’t want to be locked in a room with…
