Smashing, how lavish back then using colour.:thumbup:
Posted by: merchantrader - 27 January 2012 13:51:10
Only lavish in UK, still recovering on its own from the war. My father, who was a professional photographer, used colour a lot in the late 40's and early '50s; black and white for very high speed cine though.
To get back to your VWs, I understand ordinary colour film is equivalent to 20 megapixels on a digital camera so I guess for the very best pictures of your car film is still best.

There's a lot more to quality than megapixels, a sharp digital pic that's 5 megapixels is better than a blurry photo shot on film. Not sure where the 20 megapixels comes from though, I'm sure it would depend on the ASA - having said that, my digital camera is 18 megapixels so not far off.
But as you say... back to VW's :wink:
Posted by: merchantrader - 27 January 2012 15:45:28
For your interest 64 ASA, sorry should have said this not said ordinary, colour film is apparently equivalent to 20 megapixels. Info came form recent published reasons as to why Kodak had to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in US.
Full marks to your camera! Fortunately or unfortunately, depending how you look at it, dad taught me getting the shot is the most important and use, for everday photography, 100ASA for bw and 64 ASA for colour, keep the shutter speed at 1/100 second and adjust the aperture accordingly and luckily I've always had a steady hand so never had a blurry photo.

A 69 car so apologies but I thought this would be of interest. The guide has apparently been a VW mechanic for 45 years so that puts him as started in 1966 (filmed in 2011). David

They were quite often fitted to early firebuses in the fatherland.Just a way of drawing another drivers attention more easily i think.

The driver of the VW says to the other driver "Can you tell me how to get this thing out of first gear?"
The guy talking to the camera says something like "Of course it won´t really run 180kph, but you have to overdo it a bit for the adverts - but come and see for yourself".
So it´s not entirely serious.:smile:

Best time for me to take pics will be mid-January when the brambles have retreated a little 'n the bindy has died away prior to the new year's growth.

The film clips used in this video are taken from a 16 minute travel film entitled,
'Weimar to Carlsbad'. The film shows the beetle travelling on pre war country roads and points out places on interest along the way. The soundtrack on that film is classical music performed by an orchestra, rather than the dance band music used in the video. The film is sponsored by Shell so that's why you see them filling up with petrol at a Shell garage.
We'll be running the full film on dvd at The Historic VW Club stand at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC in November.
Cheers,
Rob.

I've just watched some of part 3- there's a great bit about 3 minutes in of the Oval overtaking every other car on its way up a twisty Alpine road. My favourite bit is when it goes past all the broken-down waterpumpers at the side of the road, steam belching out from their over-cooked radiators.
Now that couldn't possibly have been set up for the film..... could it??!! :d :roll:
