Title: Old School Cafe!
Post by: cal-look.net on March 06, 2008, 18:34:07 pm
Found this place near Chertsey in Surrey while cruising and taking some shots.

Genius place for a Cal-Look meet ;)

Cheers guys, I am only a few months into my course, I have a lot to learn!

My 1st project a day in the life @ "Wolfsburg Performance" (Ian Clark) and "Paint By Numbers" (Angus) . . .

Well they said to choose something you are passionate about and my bug wouldn't exist without them!


I have to confess though, these pics are digital, Canon EOS 300D.

I have plenty of shots on film too and the negatives/contact sheets are looking promising! - using a Canon EOS 3, or Mamiya C330-s (medium format) and Ilford HP5+ at 400 or pushed to 800 and 1600!!


Have had some great days ripping up the roads in my bug and taking pictures!

Got a full day in the darkroom on Saturday so fingers crossed!


Filters . . . erm!!!

Looking forward to shooting some nice B & W shots at Bug In this year!

Say cheese!

Some more shots, bought myself a film scanner so these are proper B&W film ;D

Nothing beats a fine art print, but being able to scan my negs is pretty sweet!

Nice pictures, Steve. I am enrolled in a beginner B&W photo course this semester and I was also driving around in my beetle this afternoon with my 35mm SLR.

yes it was a nice car. i like the look of it very much. only saw it in magazines

say, what scanner did you buy. i really want one but haven't dug into it yet. i also need a digital camera (Nikon) as i the only digital camera i have is a small thing that apparently doesn't seem to be able to focus. but i will post some pics later of a trip i have done a couple years ago, later

Hey Nicolas,

I bought an Epson 4490 - pretty old now I think, but cheap and works very well!

Sorry Sarge, but it can easily be explained...It's not down to me, you asked for a fry up, and, as everyone know, this is the downside!

Screw that heart hype...that's what red wine's for, right?? ;D  Saturday's, the wife and I do The Red Hill Cafe in Rancho Cucamonga.  The cook liked us and would often "double-up" the meat...8 slices of bacon instead of 4, two sausage paties instead of one.  After dining there for a while, you start to remember faces...one was a large older guy (no cracks here ::)) who sat at the counter in the same seat every Saturday.  One weekend, we went in and he wasn't there but his full breakfast was...had a heart attack and died that same morning (the cook made him breakfast in his honor).  I looked at what was on his plate...a mirror image of what I was grazing on.  On a sad note, the cook was murdered a few months later by his girlfriend, so now I'm back on standard rations  :(
