1984? David Mingay

Jun 15: Orange 69

Aldershot

If a scanner can be regarded as a camera, then this isn't cheating. This is a photo of a negative that fell out of the files today. On the other hand the 'creative work' was done in 1984... So if you're going to cheat with an archive shot, why not dig out a really old one!

It was taken at Aldershot Stadium, I think some time in late 1984. The film is Kodacolor VR1000, then, a new high speed film that I must have bought especially to take pictures at a night time banger race meeting. But not even 1000 asa was fast enough with the long end of my f5.6 zoom and I only took 2 shots before giving up due to the slow shutter speeds. The rest of the roll is typical around-the-house rubbish. I remember that this orange Mk1 Ford Escort was winning everything that night, but I can't remember much else...

Think this is part of the A331 and roundabout now!
