I just want to say that while the media tells me the economy os crap, one thing I have noticed is that the cost of developing regular pictures, is very reasonable today! I recently went back to the Shelby museum to get some better pictures of the Group II car they have currently. For what ever reason I guess I just didn’t push the button hard enough the last time I was there. So I stopped off at Wal Mart yesterday with the SID card from my camera. I selected 8 pictures from my last stop- I got 8X10’s of them. But, I saw that you can get an 18X24 for less than 20 bucks.
So I added one to my purchase. So on the one hand, I paid almost 40 dollars for a picture, but on the other hand, I have a beautiful picture framed for not quite 40 bucks, that I would not other wise ever have seen, let alone gotten a poster size copy of! An 8X10 is like 3 dollars. I guess it’s a combination of my age, the changing technology and modern equipment, but it sure seems like a good deal to me, for what you can get!
I’ve tried to take really good pictures, maybe a dozen times. I’ve tried to take good pictures usually. This one just happened to be nearly perfect. And again, for the money, I’m super stoked about it. I had a ‘good’ camera, and some pieces also, but that was a long time ago. I don’t know what it would cost to do from a regular film negative, but for less than 20 bucks from the digital camera, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Now, if I knew how to remove the date stamp…..
Looks like the BME Cougar that David Tom put together. I recreated the decals for him and I think I can even see our Delmarva Cougar Club decal in the quarter window.
Nice video! They said they were going to let me know when they moved the Cougar from one building to the other, so I could hear it running and maybe make a video of it, but that stuff happens so spur of the moment- I’m very glad they have the car, I love being able to go see it.
