Travellers Day Parade Brandon,MB

last sat town parade some vehicles from our museum taken with Epson RD-1 cv15mm

Some really great subjects...I love old military gear.

thanks Mo the big problem is trying to fit into the old gear they didnt have all that fast food available in those days, hard to believe some of these vehicles are almost 70 years old, and a few are right hand drive british design built in canada

Do you know the name of the truck in the 2nd photo?

Very good results from the CV/Epson combo.
I love the atmosphere of the cloudy day and wet look, it sort of fits the subjects well.
Perfect exposures (no burned sky), and kudos to you for not having warmed up the white balance like many use to do
in these lighting conditions with the result of ruining the pictures (nothing looks faker to me that warm pictures in rainy cloudy daylight).

the truck in the second photo is Lynx Armoured Car MkII Cdn built with ford flathead v8, we just got it running properly redid all the wiring and the brakes, the museum has about 50 + vehilces after the Cdn War Museum we are next in the number of Cdn CMP`s but we try maintain and run as many as we can. the RD-1 is so great to use i did nothing other than add a little fill light, like it even more because it is basic just like using a film rangefinder and it is so great to see many that have one still enjoy them and new people that are discovering it.

Orio, made a mistake the second photo is of GMC 2 1/2 Ton Duce Cdn Army used it from 1953 to 1884 GMC 6cyl 270 automatic the gun behind is US 105mm How. in canada called the 105 C1 still used today as the C3 longer barrel cut down shield
