This summer was a particularly good one for car shows and we got to lots of events with one of our classic Minis. In early September we went to the car show in the Hertfordshire village of Redbourn and I decided on a slow motion approach to the day, with a pair of pinhole cameras.
Knowing I wouldn’t be distracted by any faster photography I took along my large format camera, with four sheets of film loaded into dark slides. For these I had to choose my subjects carefully, with only four photos at my disposal!
I love the way the crowds turn into a blur of human motion during the long exposures - that puts all the focus on the cars.

We had a mid-afternoon downpour so Kevin and I retreated to the car until the rain had passed. Then he wiped the car down to remove all the raindrops - the perfect excuse for an action pinhole photo!

My last two large format photos of the day.
