KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Great pics,mine pale in comparison. Â I may be heading out to KD on tuesday...any idea of what the crowds might be like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffon Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 Man, photographers like you are why people like me don't bother bringing cameras to the park anymore. Those are fantastic! Â Cool, thanks for the feedback! If you like taking pictures then you should always bring a camera, though. You never know what kinds of crazy things could happen, and wish you had a camera with you. Plus you have places like this where you can post as many pictures as you want and people are always interested in checking out what other people are doing. Â I'm pretty bad about commenting on other people's reports, but I do enjoy looking at everyone's trips and seeing parks that I've never been to.

redfoot12 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I concur with the general sentiment about the pictures. It was nice to see that it looks like some grass is finally coming in around Dominator. Â Griff--what sort of camera do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Im going this up-coming Tuesday and im pumped! Dominator here I come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I share that sentiment Jcoaster but since I'll be with my sister & her kids this time around first stop will probably be kidzville.I hope my 11 year old nephew has reached the 54" mark this year,last year he was able to ride most of the larger coasters in the park.

Jcoaster Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Can anybody give me a run-down on the layout of the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffon Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 ^ Hmmm, a layout of the park? There is a beautiful B&M to the left of the main entrance right after you walk in. And then there's the rest of the park. That pretty much sums it up. Â For those who asked, I use a Canon SLR with a couple different lenses (17-85 and 70-200). I really enjoy the editing part in Photoshop as much as taking the pictures, which makes my wife think I'm totally crazy. But it's a fun hobby.

Josh Davidson Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Griffon, may I ask is all of these pictures edited with contrast and I am guessing color curves and sharpened, or does your Cannon simply just make the quality so perfect? You have a AMAZING skill with photography man, and a good example of what I try to achieve when I take my own photos. Great work! Â And Dominator is such a photogenic ride, even if it is at such a.... park like itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's not all in the camera. Better quality lenses make sharper images to begin with. And photoshop has endless combinations of features that allow you to bring out everything in each picture. Besides the basic contrast and color curves, you can also get into adjustment layers and filters which are really cool. I'm still learning. Thanks for the comments dude.

Dleo Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Griffon love your pictures. Take more trips... take more pictures... and continue to share. Â Your photos are making the world a better place in their own small way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuschSchoe Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Great photos, Griffon. Even though its only been a week since I've last been to KD, I really want to go back now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGreek1562 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Those are amazing photos! Canon Rebel XTI might I ask as well? I have been looking to actually buy that camera. Also glad that I got to go to KD last year and ride Hypersonic before they tore it down! Now I'll have to go down there again to ride this awesome coaster!
