Not THAT off-topic: Ian Anderson's B'day

I guess RFF is proof that we're all a little obsessive about cameras...

I must admit, given Cropredy's slightly eccentric reputation, that I thought I'd see more odd cameras (a la a Shuttleworth Collection airshow - where I spotted three transvestites of a certain age with Pentacons, someone wielding a Stereo Edixa, and a homemade stereo SLR outfit...), though I did have a chat with a chap with a Nikon FM - shooting 200 slide film rated at 800. Which is when I had a "I know diddley-squat about photography" moment...

Have you got all the mud out yet?

So the chap with the FM was there as usual - he's obviously moved up in speed from the Kodachrome 64 he told me he was using a couple of years ago! (At that time, he was looking wistfully at the Fuji Superia 1600 box end stuck in the back of my OM-4, even though the sun was shining.)

As I've taken pictures of Ian Anderson at Cropredy with an M6 and 135 mm Elmarit in the past, this isn't quite off topic yet!

Oxfordshire mud only left on the car now...

Well, I made a ghastly horlicks of the exposures, and Snappy Snaps machine really wrestled to make decent prints from them (big grain, low contrast, blown-out skies, you name it), but I've bunged a few pics on my Flickr account - frankly, they are some of the worst I've ever taken but if you must look, I'm gray1720...

There was an article on Ian Anderson as a photographer in Amateur Photographer (UK magazine) a few years ago.

BTW, Andy Summers is a great photographer as well...
