TH13TEEN Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Great photos! Just what I needed for this ever so long off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Those really are good photos. But Diamondback will never be better than MF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Intamin booty juice. Nice pics! What kind of camera do you have? I particularly like this pic as it reminded me of that idiot that claimed it to be a safety issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 And it's not just his camera, either. KI Man takes fantastic photos! I also love his captions! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtl2013 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I actually started thinking about what kind of camera was being used. Because, as much as there still has to be some skill by the user, a good camera can make all the difference. For instance. if they were using my horrible camera, these pictures would not have turned out as good as they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 There is some truth to that, but still... Give the average monkey a fine Waterman fountain pen or an Apple laptop computer, and it still could not produce a Broadway play with three acts...

markr Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Super photos. Couldn't agree more about Magnum and the restraints-those lap bars feel like concrete on a trimless ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Thanks everyone! I use a Nikon D40 with a 18-200mm lense. My aim is to take the best pictures possible, so I can skip editing them. I hate using photoshop, I think it's a way of covering up flaws on a mediocre picture....but it also has some neat effects, but I don't bother using it.

Beast79 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I love Nikon's, I don't have one myself but my dad has a D90 and when I worked for Life Touch we used D300 with are well over $1,000 dollars. Great pictures by the way, I hate my little digital that I have right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 When the job market improves to where I can be steadily employed and can justify the cost, Im going to buy a Nikon D5000... but for now Im using a Fuji S700. Ive never had a problem with it, and as far as non-SLRs go, I think its wonderful. My only issue at all is that it tends to overemphasize red tones, like all Fuji cameras tend to do.

gigacoaster2k Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Your photos, even without words, made me feel like I was there. You did a fantastic job.. I can't decide which pic I love most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzarley Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I thought they were all fantastic pictures, but I especially love "Intamin Hills"...it's so artistic. I don't know the rules exactly regarding taking & selling photos of a place like Cedar Point, but if you were able to sell your work I think you'd do very well. You've got a real talent! ('Terp is 100% right...regardless of how good a camera you use, it takes a real "photographer's eye" to do work like this!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragsterfan420 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Dang Zach, your pictures never cease to amaze me. Really nice and different angles of Cedar Point. My favorite is the one of Millennium through the tree I can't wait to get back there; I haven't been since summer of 2007! On another note, I don't think the size of my thighs will allow me to ride Millennium, TTD, and maybe even Maverick anymore. If anything I just need to get back there to take some pictures. Really great PTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
