2010 SoCal TT

This weekend, my friend Brad and I took part in the SoCal TT, an organised classic car drive from Los Angeles to Los Alamos a small town to the north in Santa Barbara county. The drive would take us on kinds of picturesque back roads and take in over 500 miles on the round trip. All of this would be undertaken in Brad’s 1969 Triumph Spitfire that I have helped to rehabilitate over the last couple of years.

We had a fantastic time and the car performed wonderfully. It was great tour of some very pretty parts of southern California that I hadn’t been to before and some great deserted back roads to have fun on. It was a very friendly group of people taking part and a mix of old cars in various conditions.

I have uploaded the photos we took to the gallery here.

Can’t wait to do it again next year!

UPDATE: There is also now video!

Video Production on an iPhone

This is my first attempt at putting together a video using my new iPhone 4. To be clear, all the video was filmed on my phone in HD and also edited on the phone! No other devices required. It was all very easy and the end result looks pretty great.

The subject matter was a hike to the Devil’s Postpile National Monument and Rainbow Falls in Mammoth Lakes in Eastern California this past weekend. It was beautiful day and an even more beautiful part of the world.

The weekend was topped off by hitting the mountain for some skiing before the resort closed for the season tomorrow. Skiing in July… who’s have thought!

I recently came across this video clip when transferring all my files to my new computer and was reminded that it was intended to be posted here in the first place, but somehow never made it.

Firstly I have to acknowledge cruftbox, from whom this format is completely ripped off. Sorry, did I say ripped off? I meant inspired by. “Imitation is the sincerest form…” and all that.

Because I had several trips planned this year, I though this could be an interesting thing to try, but I only ever did this one. Of course cruftbox made an almost identical video, which didn’t help. Perhaps that why this one never got posted. It seemed a shame to not post it now though.

So, for some background, I was in Vegas for NAB back in April and we were all put up at the Venetian…
