So last night I went to Belmont Park and got some more photos. I ended up taking 183 pictures and there's not much at Belmont...It was basically trying different shutter speeds and aperatures. Since I have so many in my album, I'll just post some of the better ones here. All of these photos are un-photoshopped.

Here's Chaos...I really liked how this one turned out.

This is their new attraction called "Wave House". It looks very fun, but I wouldn't want to embarass myself in front of all those people! You can see a very faint image of the person on it.

Pretty much the same picture as the one in the earlier topic, but a lot of the station lights were burned out. :cry

Here's a picture of one of the horses on the Carousel.

And for the last one that I will put up here, this is the building you go to to buy tickets. It's also a shop and has an old (original) car from the train before they were replaced. There's a cool model of the coaster and a lot of historical info about the coaster.

Here's the link to all of the photos. I even have the bad shots and the ones I experimented with. There's also a picture of the slow motion roller blader. The guy is hilarious and he actually looks like he's roller blading in show motion! There's also a picture of my dinner at Fatburger (last page) just for fun.:thumb

Hehe nice shots there bull. I like chaos myself too. The carousel is pretty cool too. What settings did you find that you were most comfortable with under these conditions?

And what exactly goes down in Wave house??

I didn't really have a set setting for the shots, but I would usually use a shutter speed of about 2.5 - 4 seconds and I used pretty much all the aperature settings. I just experimented and played around until I was happy with my result.

As for the wave house, you stand on a board, similar to a wakeboard but smaller and no foot clips. It basically simulates riding a wave without actually going into the ocean. They have things similar to this at water parks, but water parks have body boards that you ride.

Great work Red Bull!

My favs are chaos and the horse on the carousel.

:clap :clap

The colour is amazing in chaos, the neon lights really make this photo stand out from the others.


Happy
