robbalvey Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hanno, I think what I like best about your photos is that there aren't many of "hey people, I'm taking your picture, act stupid/crazy now" posed photos in them. You mostly are just capturing the real moments. Way too many peopl that do TRs think a good TR is capturing people with stupid forced-spontenaity poses, or posting hundreds of garbage can photos. With many people actually replying how they are thodr are the most awesome TR ever posted! You'd think according to many TR's we do nothing but run around making faces, yelling, screaming, and acting like idiots. What Hanno does well (in addition to taking great photos) is he chooses GOOD candid shots to post. I personally *HATE* most candid shots of me because I think I look terrible in them, which is why I *prefer* people to take posed shots of me (just my personal preference) because most people do NOT know how to 'pick and choose' and weed through bad photos. It's a process I go through all the time when I post a Photo TR. I try never to post a photo that would make someone look "bad." (Unless of course it's a picture of Wes) The selection process of what photos to post is almost as difficult as taking the photos themselves. And that's the difference with Hanno's TR's versus other people who also take candid photos - Hanno is a VERY good judge of selecting pictures. So while I normally prefer people to take posed pictures of me, in Hanno's case I'm 100% cool with it because I know he's not going to post a picture of me looking my "worst" (unless of course it's really REALLY funny!) As crazy as it might sound, I actually don't really like my picture being taken (hence the reason I'm usually behind the camera on not in front of it.) And if someone does want to take a picture of me (which I'll never refuse), I prefer to pose for it. --Robb "Most of us DID run around acting like idiots, though..."

Hhappy Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Thanks for those nice words robb, now i have to be even more carefull "not to walk besides my shoes" (translation of a dutch saying, not sure if everyone else is familiar with it) anyway... Day 4 Indiana Beach In my opinion a nice little park which reminded me a little of Blackpool. I did however spent a lot of time watching the water stunt team and took a lot of pics of their stunt show, their practice and some of the pirate show (with worse light conditions) therefore i'll do a 2 post update, first post will be park pictures (as seen before) the second one will be only about the water show people After this it was time to get back to the bus Fun for all ages Look mom.. no hands ERT time, since it was raining.. we got the bumper cars shooting gallery I like lights (and i missed my tripod ) Time to go home?? After sunset Why did i take this picture??? Who gave that to Robb?? you know he's gonna "play" with it Total focus TPR takeover at ball game (forgot the name) Here's how it ended.. one big pile of people Remember the video? Casey tackle Ryan? Random lights funky little detail Hi there Time to start turning the lights on Security kicked this person out of the park after seeing this picture (and seeing him doing the same thing on the next train with their own eyes) next train remember the sign and the station? Random people on hurrican getting ready to go underneath the bridge which we crossed to enter the park... How was lost coaster? Hard to miss Train credit Riding of into the sunset (i personally love this picture) spooky... random people on cornball Theming Time was flying.. and so went the sun.. still dry.... splash battle ship through the trees Lost coaster Feeling almost back at home (i come from near "the chicken capital of the netherlands" Looks like it was ok... First swing reaction Did he pull the correct cable? That's a normal face... see?? Skycoaster advertizing team ehmm Waiting in line.. locals? next group onride "action" screamer? Looks like they had fun Familiar faces "stupid" fence feeding time splash battle time do we need a park map? random (confusing) sign Clear warning sign on Hurricane. I'll come back to this later... Coaster within water slides?? or waterslides around a coaster?? cool down tool you cannot go any further... random theming Part of the park seen from "above" Lost coaster lift random people lucky shot ( 2 trains from different rides) First impression of the park from the bridge here we go, don't bother the shaking bridge Almost there First of a "long" drive. Robb was hard at work to keep the dvd's running. Thanks KidTums for the fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhappy Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Here's the second post for Indiana Beach. I was so "impressed" by the stunt team that i took a lot of pics. It is something we don't have in the area anymore I just wanted to share some of them with you. So enjoy or don't look at them Last one for this update. Thanks for watching More fire time to act a little just missing the "right" nose rope jumping Pirate show action time well done guys After a few practice runs it worked can we make it? double front flip practice Look at the camera pratice run? needs more practice time to talk to the ladies almost there... Practice fun remember a few photo's back?? this is what was supposed to happen.. a little higher and then dive over the jetski end of the stunt show style front flip of the ramp show off Best way to take out the flames oeps, i forgot something... don't worry.. i'll be back.. nice and close Hand over the fire more fire spin was added Back flip mr. funny was taking a break After multiple spins.. still being able to control it... next one More people watching in the background lift off up side down running man skills Let's swing Tattoo?? mid air time for some wakeboard action The dive from the ramp trick I just like this picture and getting down.. as it later turns out.. this was not they way it was supposed to go Going up setting up.. don't worry about water getting in the boat while turning can you see the heat? There should always be fire at a stunt show still standing take off Mid air flip or twist action Touchdown after jumping together of the ramp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrancew_hod Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'm loving the water show pics! And you kept catching me in my crazy moments! I would be making a crazy face and turn and you'd be there with the camera! D'oh! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneygurlz2s Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Each update I am just more and more impressed with your pictures, and (while I love pictures of coasters and pictures of people who love coasters....) it is great to see that someone checked out some of the shows. That ski show reminds me very much of the one they did at Sea World of Ohio years ago. That was always a highlight of our trips there.

snorkymn Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hanno, more great pics as always! It was funny,in the pics of Avalance I could see that I started in the back car, then moved to the middle car when I thought the back was a bit too rough.. then found out the middle was slightly less rough, then moved to the front because it was pretty smooth and incredibly fun.. And I kept riding and riding, though most other TPR types didn't come back for too many more rides.. I think I got 12 rides in.. To those that didn't have a great time on it, I think you should try the front if you hadn't done so.. definitely more smooth and just great fun. Avalanche was my favorite coaster in the Dells. Hades was close, but that jackhammering was just too much towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexTitan01 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 WOW, Hanno you never cease to amaze me, that last picture is such a lucky shot! Were you like standing there for hours just waiting?

terrancew_hod Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Why is the back row of Cyclops so insane? Personally (I think I said it before), I don't think it's right to go down the final hill with your back horizonal, and your butt COMPLETELY out of the coaster car. Thank goodness for the seat belt! I held on for dear life! Terry "Thank Goodness I rode Cyclops before Hanno got there" Weaver EDIT: Bryan, your "All about you" day TPR is coming up Monday or Tuesday. Infamous indeed.
