The Sandstone & Termite

Time for a few more pics. I've also experimented with some of these to make a short 'video' using Photostory.

Some nice pics (revealing further areas of your line) and I like the use of stills in creating the video

I like the way you've used Photostory. It's a nice bit of software - especially as it's free.

I like the way you zoomed in on the goods shed and then cross-faded to an interior shot. Nice touch!

Thanks guys. I'm enjoying playing with Photostory to see what effects I can get. I must remember to put my camera onto higher resolution so when I zoom in the quality is better.
I want to try using PhotoStitch to join a few together and then use Photostory to zoom across it.

It?s been a prosperous year on the Sandstone and Termite, so the owner decided to splurge on a ?new? car.
He decided on a Bugatti Royale.
The first attempt to unload it from the flatcar at Sandstone using the yard cranes was aborted ? the poor foreman in charge did not want to incur the wrath of the big boss with any scratches.

So it was decided to unload by driving onto the passenger platform at Melaleuca. Quite a crowd gathered to watch the unloading.

It was delivered with the roof up, and he drives it this way with the Missus.

But he prefers to have the hood down and engine open, when he can persuade one of his young blonde ?nieces? to accompany him for a drive.

Actually my daughter gave me the kit of the Bugatti Royale Victoria for Christmas. Sure was a finnicky thing to build! It's a very large car and I think I'll just build a special flat car to carry it around on.
