Tired of clicking to see a large version? Upgrade to e2 to browse all photos automatically at their largest size.cormy and I went to the races...again...yesterday, The sun shone and everyone had a great time.
I saw this chap in the hat and it took me back many years to the time when if we saw someone in a hat like this we would have to ...lick our thumb, stamp our thumb to our palm then press our two fists together....crazy or what. Does anyone remember doing this?

A nice little candid grouping, better without the aerial. Have you considered dodging the face of the man in the panama just a touch to lighten the shadow thrown by the brim?
I have never heard of your routine. However, if when we next meet I am wearing one of my panama hats I shall look out for your antics!

Done a few crazy things,but not your one !! It was just the normal things we did.Like super glue on the toilet seat.Or tying two doors together in a stair with a bit of string and ringing their bells.Or a dead mouse in my sisters boots.Just all the normal ones really !!
The guy with the binoculars had a hat like my father wore.We put black shoe polish on the inside rim once.He had a good sense of humour and saw the funny side.He drew the line however,when we wanted to do the same to my mothers hat for my sisters wedding.He said that Cherry Blossom polish was expensive stuff !!

We had a lot of daft customs when we were kids but not that one. I like this image for the spontaneity and the way that the racegoers are all doing their own thing. There is a good separation between thw people as well. V.2 looks better without that aerial. Andy
V2 is definitely an improvement on V1. I'm interested in Danny's comment, I don't find the image confusing, I think your low viewpoint makes the different angles work. The effect is dynamic, and successful for me.
Never come across your little ritual, but Bill's collection of hats would keep you occupied!

Well done on the cloning - good work. I can't remember doing that thing as a child but then again I don't remember a lot of things I'm that old! haha.
