510_Dillon Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Ive been going since 07' I believe? Last couple years have been super nice but I also recall it being raining on the saturday the first two years I went but it usually clears up. Im praying for some sun like last year! what kind of service tristin? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I was thinking about running a "booth" to provide some car photography. I know people always like nice pictures of their cars, so I figured if the weather was nice I could do it. Depending on how many cars show up, I could say one shot (final shot, as I do multiple exposures) free and you could pay to have more if you wanted. It would be like prom pictures. I hear theres plenty of room at the grounds so I can find a spot with a decent enough background and just have cars roll through that spot, stop for ten or so minutes and then the next one could roll through. Ive done it for car meets in the past and its been successful for all parties. If there are too many people then my fun time relaxing down there would be ruined, but I dont mind snapping one of each car if its only a decent to good turnout and not a ridiculous turnout. We could set it up to have all 510s in a row, 610s in a row, blah blah blah for pano shots of the event. Ive never gone that crazy at events before, but it could be fun. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I was thinking of doing things too, but decided not to because I'm to busy looking at everything else. Don't want to be tied to anything like having a booth, or vendor spot. I'd say around 150-200 datsun at a given time. Larry Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Ha f*ck that... Yeah I wont be doing it for 150-200 cars. Thats a little too dedicated than I want to be. Ill still bring a small amount of gear with me and maybe will do it for the guys camping out. Or maybe just the Ratsun guys. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 2eDeYe' timestamp='1335369441' post='676096']Haha at Jeff and Mike :lol: edit: At least Jeff had an electric blanket lol haha Lets just say I was thinking ahead. I will definitely be bringing the electric blanket again :) Quote Link to comment
510_Dillon Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 That sounds like a good idea but yeah it would make your trip more busy then you would want or at least for me it would. Canby is always awesome because you just walk around, talk to people, and look at datsuns. A pano shot of a couple cars would be ideal I think, I'd buy one! Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Im Im thinking a few panos would be good. Ill still bring my gear and if the mood hits me, maybe we can set something up. Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 What weekend is Canby? Same as last year? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm bringing full rain gear and boots like last year. If everyone does this it won't rain. Cheap insurance. 2 Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Good call. Ill bring some rain gear... Im probably bringing a canopy as well to rock some shade if its sunny or as a rain break if its shitty out. Quote Link to comment

(road trip) Pulling in surrounded by strange people you only know on line. Everyone within 300 yards in all directions, all in some way connected to a car that hasn't been made in 25 years. Everyone comfortable knowing that everyone else has something in common with them. Friendly nods. Friday night is meeting old friends and watching an engine swap.. 1 Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Friday night is meeting old friends and watching an engine swap clutch job. Fixed. ;) Saturday-Sunday's event is the engine swap, if I remember correctly. The clutch job is the appetizer. 2 Quote Link to comment
