Moerkerke, 10 km of Bruges and 10 km of the Belgian coast

During my cycling trip I saw this nice old car, this is a BUGATTI I know not the year.
I took this picture in panning.

OPEN IN NEW TAB.

The 2021 edition is the year of brave choices for Zoute Grand Prix, which gives a completely different interpretation to its events. Zoute Grand Prix in the past attracted more than 300,000 visitors to the Belgian coast during an October weekend. Zoute Grand Prix spreads the visitors through a different arrangement of the events.

For example, the GT Tour, with modern GT and sports cars, will have Ghent, Bruges and Ostend as anchor points this year. The classic old-timer rally of the Zoute Grand Prix will remain based in Knokke, where the starting podium returns to Albertstrand after a year of absence.

Touring vs Regularity
The Zoute Rally, organized on 7, 8 and 9 October 2021, intended for classics registered between 1 January 1920 and 31 December 1965, forms the backbone of the Zoute Grand Prix. Unlike the GT Tour, which from now on will start in Ghent, the Zoute Rally will start in Knokke itself. The pilots are given a nice course through Flanders and the Dutch polders.

Zoute Grand Prix has two formulas. In "Touring" the participants stick to a three-day ride, in "Regularity" they take part in a timed regularity rally with agility tests and route � with the speed test described as "Flying Quarter Mile" as the icing on the tail.

I hope you like it.

Hello John,
It must have been difficult to take a panning picture from this angle, but you did it surprisingly well. The front of the car and the two persons are very sharp, but we can see the wheels spinning round and the scenery is sufficiently blurred. And you didn't forget the exposure while you were busy with the panning. It's very well done.
Best regards,
Gert
PS My congratulations on your wedding anniversary. :-)

Hallo John,
Een prachtige foto van deze oude racewagen met twee uitgelaten passagiers. Mooie compositie met de natuur aan de rechterkant. De blauwe auto zorgt voor een aantrekkelijk kleurcontrast.

Hi John,

You have captured well the smiling expression of the driver and of the passenger. The point of view is showing the details of the old Bucatti. The colors and the sharpness are very good. Have a nice dya.

Dag John,
Mooi deze oldtimer in het groene landschap en een mooi staaltje penning dat vaart aan de foto geeft.
Groet, Gerrit

mcmtanyel (69384) 2021-10-26 17:57

Hello John,
Nice capture! The driver of the Bugatti had better be careful, she is about to go off the road.

Hello John, What a joy to see this very old car going, not only at the exhibition. I would love to go like this couple. Impossible :(. You were lucky to meet them on your bike trip. This backpack on the side looks strange. Charming picture.

Best regards MAlgo

Hi John,
A great shot of this classic race car. It looks shine and works well I guess. Again your panning technique is perfect. The car looks sharp and motion blur is well visible on the wheels. Off centre framing gives good attention to nice countryside location.

PiotrF (56188) 2021-10-27 15:11

Hello John
A very nice capture of beautiful old car.
I like good composition, nice colours and good quality.
The background is perfectly blurred.
Fine presentation
Regards
Piotr

PaulVDV (63574) 2021-10-27 15:22

Hallo John,
Ik heb de indruk dat je maar net op tijd kon wegspringen voor deze voorbij zoevende racewagen.
Heel breed is deze auto niet. Beide heren naast elkaar lijken niet al te veel zitruimte te hebben.
Het koetswerk blinkt en weerspiegelt mooi.
Mooi genomen met aandacht voor de groene omgeving.
Vele groeten, Paul

ChrisJ (172442) 2021-10-28 2:58

Hi John

The driver and his passenger are hamming it up for you and your timing was perfect. Good use of panning and superb sharpness on the old vintage car. The motion blurred surroundings work well. Tfs!

ikeharel (114751) 2021-10-30 6:08

Hello John,
The old Bugatti shown perfectly against the blurred background, slow shutter technique, well executed.
I can only guess this model goe's back to the 30th or 40th.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

GyurMaster (25067) 2021-10-30 13:09

Hello again,

I like the joy of life coming from this photo.

Best Wishes,

Hi John,
this is yet another amazing capture from this rally.
Again I have to admit that I was not aware that you can use the panning technique for the objects moving nearly towards you.
Great effect here the car is perfectly sharp with pleasantly blurred background,
M
