    This is it really begins (or should we say ENDS??). This is the middle loading area (there are three) that wasn't being used on this day. There weren't many people waiting (early opening hour), so I held back for a minute and grabbed this shot by holding my camera steady on a rail...

    Fantastic picture! I feel you truly captured the environment. It's like being there. Great job!

    This is somewhere I have never been, nor will ever be! So thanks for the great photo of it!
     
  4. Fantastic lighting! :eek: how slow of a shutter speed did you use?

    Thanks, dawholagn! Its quite an environment to capture - lots of people miss all the details because they're in a hurry to get on the ride.

    Joe (and Tim) - you MUST ride this! Its much less intense than Rockin' Roller Coaster (you have been on that, right?)

    Thanks, Kelly. This was done at ISO800, 1/2 second at f3.2


    Hey, this multi-quote thing works well!

  9. Scott, that's amazing (I assume 1/2 sec handheld?). Moreso the fact that you can make the place empty when you shoot it. I tried shooting that same angle 8 times and it's always way too packed to even position myself accordingly, let alone taking a shot. :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Well, sort of handheld - I was resting the camera on a railing. I took about 10 different shots to make sure that at least one of them was sharp.

    You did great! May I ask what you were shooting with?

    Thanks! This was done with my all-time favorite digicam, the Sony DSC-R1. It has a DSLR sensor with the advantage of a "live preview" and a top-notch lens.
