robinschroder Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Hello, Back in February, a couple of weeks after Rage opened, I took a trip over to Southend to check it out! It was quite a fun little ride, with a couple of brief pops of air both on the drop and on the descent down from the vertical loop. The elements kind of felt a bit too close together, although they certainly managed to cram a lot in to a small space... Not really all that intense - but it did make me a bit dizzy... I think all of these coasters over the years have broken my body! I took along my trusty Olympus XA2 and Lomo LC-A film cameras loaded with slide film which I then had processed in normal negative film chemicals (this is called 'cross processing') for some totally mashed-up colours and contrast! Sorry for the delay in posting these - I only just got one of the films back. Enjoy! Robin Thanks for looking at these slightly disturbing photos! Southend pier Helix! ...zoom! Zoom... Super-tight layout Cresting the lift 97 degrees!!! Adventure Island from afar. Multiple exposure of my journey by train to Southend plus Rage's super-tight twisty track.
robbalvey Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 OMG! Those were some of the most randomal cool coaster photos EVER!!! --Robb
robinschroder Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 Thanks! Cross-processing rocks totally... good old 35mm film! Here are some using the same method taken on Brighton's Palace Pier... Brighton's Palace Pier - spookily still sea... Waltzer Turbo
Schmoofy Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Epic shots! You said you just got one of the rolls back, does that mean there's more?! Post them when you can, these are amazing.
Golfie Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 This is why I don't like digital cameras - you can't do the things film cameras can!
coastercrazed49 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Cool Pix, but some were a little hard to see.
coasterdude5 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Those have gotta be some of the most unique coaster photos I've ever seen - awesome.
cfc Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Your pictures have a kind of Mario Bava/Dario Argento vibe to them--they look like Italian horror movies from the 1960s and 1970s (and I mean that in a good way),
jarmor Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Really like the first pic! vvvv thats not true at all what you dont like is regular automatic digital cameras! You can do that with a manual setting digital camera but much easier on film! This is why I don't like digital cameras - you can't do the things film cameras can!
SLUSHIE Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 This is why I don't like digital cameras - you can't do the things film cameras can! Photoshop is your friend. I'm sure I could emulate this look with photoshop fairly easily.
Mr. Volcano Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 robinschroder, That was.. awesome! I'm buying you a pizza! Great shots amigo, random and VERY different. -Justin
boy_who_luvs_coasters Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Wow Great pics. I LOVE the color effects you have added to them! PLUS, the coaster looks AWESOME. the loops, and all the TAUSDM'S!!!! (totally awesome up side down momentS) GREAT JOBB! -SHawn
Dailey Enterprizes Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 This is why I don't like digital cameras - you can't do the things film cameras can! Yea, but can film do this? On the other hand, it always happens accidentally...
Nrthwnd Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 After being FLUNG around on two of these (shudder) "rides of mental destruction" during the TPR UK Tour back in June (and you know who you are)... your dark shaded photo of 'it' certainly sparked irksome, spinny memoriesssss...... eep Excellent, effective photo tour(s). I see............. insane ride ops! Take it away, take it away pleeeeeeeeeeeese!
KingOfNynex2003 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 that looks like the coolest coaster ever! I can't wait till I can get onto that one.
dandaman Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 "...SPARTANS!" "HALLOO!" Seriously, it looks like the same filmography. Interesting take on this stuff. Thanks.
holyblakbelt Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Nice Pictures! Something I can never do because of impatience.
errtyme Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 I certainly appreciate the work you put into these. There should be MORE! Clay "doesn't have THAT kind of photography talent" Lamanske
