Absolutely a real thing. In the pre-1966 car park at the Lavant Straight Members Enclosure last Friday during the Goodwood Revival. They were happily perched atop the Rolls, watching the Sussex Trophy race as the sun went down.

 

When you see something like this, you realise why this is one of my favourite weekends of the year. You have to get into the spirit of it by dressing up, but even that's fun. Then you are rewarded by being taken back into time.

I have been in "normal" clothes and "dressed up". The latter is definitely a far better experience: you are a participant in and contributor to the atmosphere of the event.

In "civvies" you are an outsider, an observer.

I am going to try to get down on the Saturday next year.

 

Access to the Members Only car park, where this shot was taken, is obviously not available to the hoi-poloi like me

Andy,

 

You should come for the whole weekend. We stay at glorious Butlins in Bognor Regis (25 mins and a £25 cab ride). It ends up being a weekend picnic party with dinner each night and lots of fun.

Wonderful shot, but the leopard seems a bit underfed.

Great shot,

Charley, this is outstanding! Much enjoyed.

[XVarior]

Amazing

[topoxforddoc]

Stuart, Edgard, Ben and Rodrigue,

 

Thank you. The leopard does looks a little on the lean side. Perhaps he was pining!

[ddp]

Great shot...again, love the look on the files from the S here.

[George James]

Excellent !!

[topoxforddoc]

ddp & George,

 

Many thanks. They were so good, it was hard to miss the shot!

[Brenton C]

I'd say the photographer might have the best vantage point.

 

;-)

[Bill W]

Beautiful shot with the Leica S but the 70/2.5 did render the leopard a tad flat. Try a wider lens next time.

[A miller]

wonderful old fashioned composition and processing. Hopefully, that's what you were after!

[topoxforddoc]

Brenton, Bill and Adam,

 

Thank you very much. It was lovely to see this. A bit off the beaten track for Goodwood, as most people would have been around the main straight and turn 1 (Madgewick). This was on the other side of the track.

 

As for the leopard, at least they didn't put an apple in its mouth!
