The Three Greyhounds Pictures
 
What a great day. We arrived early to see a few fine minature engines which is all we expected but as the day developed, more and more engines kept turning up. When we left, we counted 11 big ones and 9 little ones. There were traction engines, rollers, ploughers, stationaries, minatures, tractors, cars, landrovers, and best of all, an S20 Foden tractor. One engine, I had never seen before. We met friends and friends of friends. The atmosphere was great, I only wish I could have been at the pub tonight, I bet they are having a ball. There were plenty of proper photographers there so hopefully there will be some good photos and reports in the magazines next month. A credit to all involved but I'll bet it didn't take much organising.

Great set of photos David - many thanks for posting them. Looks a really enjoyable event. Lovely to see "Rosetta" out and about again, an engine I remember well from my childhood but haven't seen in 25 years.

As ever David, a great set of photographs. A lovely, relaxed, do with a really interesting variety. Well done to Clive and any others involved for setting it all up. Thanks aswell for the waiter service David ;)

Lovely pics David. The little McLaren looks great with the roof off, just as I remember her.

BrianM 29th April 2012 03:11 PM

I trust you class yourself among the 'proper photographers', David. A lovely set of photographs, well composed and well executed, thankyou for posting them.

davidje 1st May 2012 09:26 PM

I don't class myself as a 'proper' photographer when you see the results in OG or VS. I am generally happy with the composition but if I could afford OEM lenses, then I could get the images a bit crisper. (Afford means convincing my wife that £1000 spent on one lens is an essential purchase). Still it's a hobby and if you are happy, then I am happy. Thanks.

Ed M 2nd May 2012 01:28 AM

I would classify you as a "proper photographer." I felt like I was there, great photos, thank you.

Lovely set of photos again David, for me the favoright has to be the Fowler ploughing engine turning in the road, an unstaged scene that could have been 100 years ago, although it could perhaps be a later engine than it would have been then, I know you do a lovely line in oil painting conversions, wonky 4 storey houses are 1 thing but even I dont think wonky wheel spokes are going to look right, better not give them too much of a laugh.any way we have Howard White from Owelsbury,Hants not so far away from me that does some lovely paintings mostly Showmans, my dad and uncles bought a Wallis engine from his Grandfather in 1929, and I still have the original buff log book for it engine number 7114.new on 14/6/1910 still in steam in 1952, nice that his family worked with tractions for many years and he still has an interest in them. kind regards Jimmy Vardy.

wjvardy1942 3rd May 2012 04:32 PM

Dwain,

It is no good me taking a photo of her I always seem to cut the heads off when I take photos of peope and I prefer her as she is.

Flashback 3rd May 2012 06:27 PM

Taz,

Funny thing is I am into photography and use photoshop all the time, I use to do PR in a bike team for many years and when I was bored I use to get a track pass and go track side and take pictures of bikes, I also do wildlife pictures etc.

But come on we have to all know are limits. Making my wife look good with phootoshop is even beyond my skill set.

Nic if you read this and you let me live......I am only joking....LOVE YOU... (A man has to eat)

Fowlers are the best 3rd May 2012 07:02 PM

Fantastic pictures as usual David. Like the one of the ploughing engine!

Great day on Saturday, wish I could say the same about Sunday!
