Autosport International 2009

Had a good time at the Autosport show yesterday as ever there was lots to look around, enjoyed looking at the David Coulthard's collection. He seems very down to earth and had time to talk to people. Also saw Murrey Walker and as expected he was brilliant wanting to know all about the people he was talking to and having a joke and a laugh. There was a nice collection of F1 cars from last year and the history of F1. The live show was good but the music was sooo loud! I must be getting old! Here are a few of my photos

This was also the first time I used my new 50mm 1.8 prime lens and I am really pleased with the results. Previous years taking photos at Autosport International as been difficult without a monopod but this year with the lower aperture they have worked really well hand held.

Bath Christmas Market / Beauty & the Beast at the Hippodrome.

We visited Bath to have a look around the Christmas Market then it was onto the Bristol Hippodrome for the 1st part of Laura's Christmas present "Disney's Beauty and the Beast on tour" We both had a fantastic time.

Christmas Shopping at Lakeside

Laura and I visited our favourite place to shop, Lakeside! to get our Christmas shopping done.

HTC HD Screen Rotation Tool

As standard the HTC HD only screen rotates when in Opera and camera. I found a small third party app that expands this across all applications. The applications is call GSEN and uses the built in accelerometer to automaticlly change screen rotation. Down it here Note that the YouTube app doesn't like it so you need to add the line #window(youtube) onto the end of the GSen CFG file (via Start>Programs) to sort out a glitch with its video playback orientation.

Alan has a prang at Combe :(

Alan had a bit of a moment over Rise at Combe, resulted in visiting the tyre wall before nursing it back in. Despite a smashed rear window and rear end damage he was out for the race, thanks to everyone rallying around!

The Formula Ford carnival was also the last race of the season, congratulations must go to all the lads that competed this year, Jason and Nick both managed 2nd in their class and Alan showed a huge improvement throughout the season, once the car is 100% he is certainly going to be at the front.
