Ramsbottom 1940's vintage weekend

So, bank holiday weekend is here, and so is the Ramsbottom 1940's vintage weekend with the vehicles, people dressed up and steam trains, great fun!

Anyway, not being one for words....here are the pictures

The ramsbottom chocolate festival

So on this incredibly cold day we decided to head down to the Ramsbottom chocolate festival, freezing, but fun!

A small selection of the pics taken today...tasty....

A few more from the 40's weekend

Looking back over some older albums I came across a few more from the 1940's weekend in Ramsbottom that I thought I would post up here

Zo, you vish to take my picture yes....

I think the sign says it all.......

I was pissing by ze window......

Anyone else thinking of the Les Dawson character?????

The start of something?

Well here I go, been thinking about doing this for a while and decided to take the plunge....Amateur photographer with loads of pictures that someone might like looking at.....hopefully!  Interested in all aspects of photography - landscape, portraits, UE, abstract, just shoot whatever takes my eye.

Last weekend I went to the 1940's weekend in Ramsbottom, Lancashire with my new camera and tried out a few of the functions

Hope you like them

Quite possibly the strangest character of the weekend

The Allies preparing......

Personally I could get into the whole 40's thing!

The Allies prior to the battle

Quite a patriotic image for the Jubilee weekend

A song for the troops from Miss Marina Mae

After these shots, I looked closer at the new toy and found the miniaturization setting, was quite impressed, hopefully some better shots should follow.....

So, I think that will do for the first post, hope you like the pics and I will now go and trawl through the thousands of pics I have taken and put some more up here.

Leave a comment, preferably nice! and any suggestions for future shoots.
