Just a heads up --

Over Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend Kings Island will be hosting a photo contest for those participating in this inaugural coaster event. Photos will be emailed to the park after the conclusion of the event and the winning entry will receive a KI gift package and have their photo featured on the KI Insider Blog all season long. Photos must have been taken during

the RWCW event. One entry per person.

I've seen some wonderful photos in the PTRs. I really think that many KIC members have an excellent chance of winning this contest! Make us proud once again!!!

Details on that when more info is released.

I wasn't even considering bringing my camera, but this sounds like a good contest. I almost bet someone from KIC is gonna win this.

Since we're sending them to the park, I take it this will be for anyone who attends the event?

CoasterMania 2009 has got a mini golf tourney and a film festival. With some awesome awards!

Photos must have been taken during the RWCW event.

Well, shucks! I was hoping to enter my prized photo of The Beast from KIC day last year. Now my challenge is before me. I must come up with a better one. Oh, dear.

A photo contest? Step Aside everyone!

^^Hey, I'm actually thinking about trying to hire Jackson to document an upcoming KI trip of mine. I'm planning a trip with a friend from out of town, and I somewhat hate photography and the kid does good work!! For me, I think he really "captures" KI in a really great "theme park way" that I dig! He has an eye for it!!

Plus, in addition to paying him, I also might have to give him a VIP pass since our time at KI will be short and I won't want to wait in any lines. Hopefully I can make this trip happen!

But yeah, jackson should kick butt with this contest!

Actually, I carry a Sony Cybershot, it's small enough to fit into my pocket.

Wow. I'd be glad to!

I am not expecting to win this contest, but I will try. There are many other great photographers out there, Ronny, Ryan, Paul, I'm ok. I see pictures by other people and they're better then mine, but I aspire to be as good as them. I'll do my best!

I plan to enter this, I want to give my new camera a whirl.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Ronny comes up with.

Jackson, have you seen the camera Ronny uses? Or the number of pictures he takes? I wouldn't beat yourself up, as your pictures are always great, and they are a pleasure to look at. Keep up the good work!

Flyer, who just has "good picture accidents" once in a while.

One "good picture accident" may be all it takes to overcome some of the most talented photographers out there this weekend.

I'm sure going to try to take one of the best photos. But I'm not going to get my hopes up. And I was considering borrowing my dads camera but I don't want to lug it around all day. So I'm just going to bring my 8.2mp Kodak Easyshare. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky this time. I'm deff going to go buy two more memory cards for this weekend though. These are two pictures taken with my dads camera.

I moved all the pics on my memory card to my computer, and have my 7.2mp Sony Cybershot DSC-S750 battery fully charged. Watch out.

^^Now Giga, with that camera you have, I know you said the outside shots with it are awesome!

BUT isn't it also true that for inside the quality is just average? OR were your settings not the best previously for your inside shots, and adjusting those would make them better?!

The setting I was using before wasn't the proper one for my indoor or night photos. It has a dime sized setting wheel on the back with 10 settings, including a video setting. It took a little getting used to, but I got it.

I filmed an approaching thunderstorm at night about a month ago, and it perfectly captured every bolt of lightning and crack of thunder (yes, I'm a bit of a storm chaser). I'm impressed with the camera, and happy knowing that I only spent $99 for it at Walmart.

awww, isn't he just adorable...

The RWW flyer we received only gives us the email to send our photo entry to.

Should we include our name, address, phone number, and/or username along with the photo we submit?

i just sent him my name and my picture and today i got a email from don saying he got it, and good luck

I'll have to go through the photos on my phone and my camera later to see what I want to send in. I just wish I hadn't left my memory card at home on Saturday.

I will do the best PTR I can this weekend.

I may have to leave my camera in a locker so those enormous, towering rides at CP don't eat it. I'd rather have a short PTR or just a TR than watch my Cybershot raise from my pocket and spin off into the stratosphere.

I wish I could see Ronny and Ryan's photos so I could get a full view of my compotition!

Ronny wasn't at Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend.

So do we just send the photo in, and give them our information if we win the contest?

Send in the photo along with your name, I guess....

Just sent mine in, at the last second. Is that not just like me? Anyhow, when will they announce the winner?

whenever they feel like it!
