dr.gumbo Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I don't really need to post this becuase I'm just going to say exactly the same as everyone else but you deserve it. These pictures are miles better than ones on professional coaster photo sites and I would love to see these on one, they deserve it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaos_theory1 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 For all those that asked, it's a Canon Rebel XTi. I'm thinking of upgrading soon... The XSi is about to come out with 12Mpixels (this one has 8M pixels). I also used a Canon 100-400mm IS lens, which retails for about $2500, but can be had for about $1600.   I guess It depends what your wanting to take, but a higher megapixel sensor will give more noise in low lighting shots  Just a heads up  Also Awesome Photos, I love the one of Wicked Twister where the carriage is Still but the track is blurred, How did you take that shot?

WillMontu Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think the ISO setting has more of an effect on noise, but it also depends on the density of the image sensor. SLR cameras tend to have larger sensors, so noise isn't as much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousfv Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I couldn't react to anything around me, while I was looking these. Great Pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos_theory1 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 No this is true, although you have to take into account that the 12mp sensor is a similar size to the 8mp sensor, so it will have more of an effect. unless of course theyve massively changed the design between the two cameras, which I dont think they have. I have to admit Im not 100% sure what camera he is using, as Im used to the british names (eg. 350D 10D etc) I think he is referring to the 400D and the 500D? and if this is the case they are both very similar in outer design so the sensor cant have changed too much.

MonkeyPants Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well, the XSi supposedly has a next-gen image processor, and beefed up noise reduction, so that may counteract the effect you mention, though I've never heard of that effect before myself. Worth checking into.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 me and some friends were supposed to go to to cp this summer, but some of us OWING in taxes rather than getting mony back kinda halted that...went last summer for the first time. i must admit it IS better than SFMM.

VegasCoaster Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I don't know how big the lens you mentioned is, but I'm assuming it looks like the ones all the photographers have at sporting events that are like a foot or a foot and a half long. Does give you some great shots though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorBoyASU Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 LOL, and what random detail did I notice? Â That the kid in the front row is wearing very long white boxer briefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 ^Or, based on the athletic shorts he's wearing, SPANDEX. Â Wow, you know how amazing the quality of these pictures must be when people talk about individual rider's underwear and facial features. Fantastic!

Coaster Palooza Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 CoasterP, too bad... I was hoping to laugh with you guys again! Definitely get in touch if you will be at CP this year... We're getting passes again. Â I know you'll still get a few laughs in. Remember to stay away from Charlie at the Santa Claus Lodge's bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrzyjames Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Wow AMAZING pictures!! I really want to go to Cedar Point so bad right now!! I haven't been there yet, it's been on my "To-Visit" list for years now. Hopefully if all goes well I can get a job up there for the 2009 season.

griffon Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Man, thanks for sharing that collection, it's always a pleasure looking at your shots from Cedar Point. I think it's funny how none of those people have any idea we're all sitting around laughing at them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dleo Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 All I can say is thanks for the photos. I have always loved close up shots of riders. You can see looks of pure joy and sometimes terror in people's faces... but it's all good because you know they are having a blast. I always like hearing comments from people who just got off Millenium on the way out after they get off. These definitely put a smile on my face.
