2007 Michigan Meet Photos

Thanks for sharing even more pics guys!! This is great!!! I am still puzzled as to why you guys have so many marks in your area. And we cali folk had a tough time matching your #s. :p
 
Just some statistics based on 24:

Bumper to Bumper length = 4,138 feet (almost a Mile of MarkVlll's)
Door to Door Side By Side = 17.24' X 6.22' x 24 = 25,735 Sq Ft (over 1/2
Acre of Mark Vlll's)
768 Valves

Beers = Alot more
 
I'll buy the rest of your stats, but you got a decimal point wrong here Charlie.

It would take over 306 Mark VIII's to be a mile long bumper to bumper @ 17.24 feet each. :eek:

Dimensions of a Mark VIII are 17.24 feet in length, and 6.22 feet in width.
Length of 24 Marks is 413.76 feet bumper to bumper, or .0785 miles.
24 Marks bumper to bumper and side by side would cover 2573.58 square feet, or .059 acres.

Excellent photos Bill!

I take everything back, that I said about film (analog?) cameras.:)

That pulley photo is great.

I really like that shot of my red Mark though.:D
 
The scanner gives the photos some graininess. Actually adds a little to it in my opinion. :)
 
Thanks for the nice words. These were done with Fuji 200 asa color film and then the prints are on kodak royal paper. I like to use either Fuji or Kodak color negative film, but I am finding some new stuff that is just a good from eastern Europe like the Chech Republic. Film may be losing market share in the U.S., but it is still heavily used in the rest of the world. Oh and if you missed breakfast on Saturday morning this is what you missed. Special thanks to Rene for being a hand model. LOL

I am using a Minolta SR-T 101 with the standard 50mm lens. I then have a set of macro screw on lenses as well as a 20-200 telephoto which was not used in any of the Michigan Photos. The camera is from circa 1966 or so and works fine mechanically. It does however have a broken light meter but I use an external lightmeter which is a Sunset Unitec also from the same era. This old stuff is so cool to use as I am often asked if I am a professional simply because of the metal body of the camera and the lenses. I just laugh and state that I am an extreme photography hobbyist.

Yes I am going to have too cook again very soon as I too miss my breakfasts.
