300+MB of High Quality pictures! Enjoy 6 parks worth of great quality pictures with many, many more to come this year.


http://www.real-coasters.com/gallery/

But its worth the time taken to download the pictures, IMO. (Of course, I took the things!)


Also, if theres any true requests for posters of any of these, I found a place that does them for cheap and quality should be nice. I plan on ordering one this week to see just what the quality looks like. Expect 22 USD for a 30inch by 20 inch poster (pretty good size)

I plan on making some posters as well. Id be open to the idea of making them and selling them for like a 3-5 dollar profit on my end (for all the shipping crap).

The largest I can go is a huge 30 x 20 inch poster for like 22-25 bucks. Which is really cheap, printed on nice quality photo poster paper.

Im going to do this (try) with the parks I go to this year. Cedar Point opens in just over a week and I may be there a few days during opening week since my work schedual has me on the midnight shift...so I can be there during the day when no ones there :D

Yep, very nice pics real. Well done on those, and a couple would make amazing desktop wallpapers like FN said.

yeah, wrap it up in a nice screen saver package and sell, that as well, so you'll have even more money in your pocket.
p.s. GOuldy nice choice in cars, I want one, but I don't have the 30+k to spend on one. [:(] Its sick how some of the kids at my school have thier parents buy them one for thier first car.

I know, but that would be CRAZY to print out. I think its something like 3-4ft long!!

It took me 9 pictures to stitch it up and by far my best stitchin job. Still some "oddities" but its worth it.


MIA, IOA, CP and Dollywood are some of my best galleries. I actually had time to shoot instead of being rushed :

Very nice pics there. Some of them would make nice posters. But the shipping costs would propably be very large too Norway;)

Which camera are you using?

The ones from Islands of Adventure and Disney were taken on a Canon Digital Rebel 300D.

Everything else is on a Canon Powershot A70 or something close. Interchangeable lens version, small, but powerful. The powershot is a 4mp and the digital rebel is a 6.5. Its beautiful, even though taking pictures can be quite challenging since most of its manual.


BTW I can check on shipping to norway. Hey, do me a favor and if you wish, give me an address to you (or a neighbor, I dont care) so I can check and see just how much it would cost.

I've sent you a Pm with the adresse:)

I have tried the 300D. Good camera, but I prefer the Nikon D70 ;) Much faster, and a bether camera IMO. But it's more expensive too...

I found the Nikon to be a bit clumsy and I dont like their Digital stuff that much.

Their optics, BEST in the business, however Canons are so good that you cant really tell much difference.


Ive found Canon's Digital stuff to just be better. They have put alot more into research and its showed in their cameras. Overall they end up being lighter and better for the price.

Canon just recently released a camera thats supposed to take over the 300D and take out the Nikon D70 I think. Not sure, but its pretty sweet.

Yeah. The 350D. But it's only uppgraded to be as good as the Nikon, not bether [;)] And Nikon are coming with the D70s (a small upgrade of D70) and D50, a cheaper camera.

My main complaint about the canon is the speed. I'm used to the hyper fast Nikon, and when I borrowed the D300 it just felt so slow. But I guess it's up to personal preferences.

Yea thats the one thing I think Ive read. I also saw a guy with a Nikon last night taking some night shots and he was taking them very quickly.

I only paid 650 for whats normally a 1,000 dollar camera. Its my "entry" into the digital market. If I aspire to do anything with these photos, I may move up if I can justify the extra money. Right now the 300D does everything I need it to, very well.


UPDATE: Not quite yet, but some interesting photography from this Opening Weekend Cedar Point should be up tonight (I hope) while more are to come later. (Tentative list for now is MaXair, Raptor and Wicked Twister)

Small update:

Went to Geauga Lake on Saturday. Not sure Ill ever get another weekend as beautiful as this one, but I had a crappy day with picture taking since I had a friend and we rode rides instead of taking pictures. However, I did capture a few and they are in the obvious category called "Unfinished and Unsorted". A few are from Cedar Point on Friday night when we went up to upgrade out passes to include Geauga Lake. Hopefully I get another crystal clear weekend in the summer that I can take advantage of.

Some great pictures there! The third one for Thunderhawk was very cool [;)] But some of them seem too bright. Like the 5th one at Thunderhawk. Apart from that great job!

Edit: it was only that picture. btw those sunset pictures of MF is aweseome!

Some of the pictures needed serious photoshop work. Im still learning the manual camera but thank goodness my skills in PS make up for it. MANY of those pictures are too bright but a trained eye will tell.

For now, they work really well. :)

Thanks for the compliments guys.
