Best SFGAm Photo Taken

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby Jamesb58 on September 22nd, 2004, 3:09 pm
Hey Everyone:

For those of you who take photos while at Six Flags, what is the best
picture you have ever shot?

Well, out of my many photos, I would have to say that my best one is
at the following url:
http://photos.yahoo.com/jamesb58@sbcglobal.net

This was taken the day of its First Openning. My bestfriend and I just
got off of a ride, turned the corner and saw the sun fight it's way out
of the clouds, and I had to get a picture!

I'm interested in what you all think of the photo, plus to hear what is
the best photo you've ever shot or seen. Soon, I will have more of
my best photos on the site!

Yeah thats a nice picture. I used to take pictures last year, but after opening day this year my camera got rained on and i just got a new one for my birthday. I'm probably going to bring it to fright fest.

The only reason i don't bring it is because i take on ride pictures, and it ruins your ride, because your so worried about getting caught.

I said this somewhere else in topic but I want to get my own camera and bring it to six flags also. For some reason I'm really starting to get into photography.

I've got a knack at taking "hard to get" photos. I always look for shots
that no one else has. I just posted on my photo site:


http://photos.yahoo.com/jamesb58@sbcglobal.net

2 more photos that I have taken through out the season. Hope you
like them. MORE TO COME!

This is my favorite photo that I have taken. Ive tried to duplicate it with my new camera to get a higher quality version of it but I haven't been able to do so.
Go Bulls!

That would be a hard one to duplicate! So many "great" photos are
hard to duplicate. The picture I really want to get is Raging Bull
going down the drop while Demon goes through loop at the same time.
That's an impossible shot to get. I did get an awesome video clip of
Giant Drop and Demon. When the cars on GD droped, Demon went
through the loop. We got the shot of GD through the loop. If you
want to see the clip, IM me(during the evening), and I can send it
diretly to you.

OH, just to let you know, you can use my photos for your own uses.
I really don't care! I don't copyright photos.

I want to get that picture so bad with Demon in the loop and Raging Bull ... I try every time I go, but I always fail. My favorite photos is one of Whizzer and Bull together but it is low-quality, next time I'm gonna try to get it again with my better camera

Hey:

I just posted some new photos to my photosite. They are some great
photos. Most of the ones I take are at Dusk/Sunset. That is the
time where I get the best shots.

I will be posting some great Magic Mountain Pictures also! You can
see my photo site by pressing the "www" button!

Great pictures James. I like how they are all unique pictures from different views. For some reason, I find the photo of Deja Vu one of the best. They are all great shots. Nice job. I'm looking forward to more....

Ok Everybody here you go.
I told you all earlier about the video with Giant Drops cars droping
while Demon was going through the loop. I have posted a still photo
of that video on my photosite!

ENJOY!!
