1: Needs to be slightly straightened. What kind of filter (pre or post) processing did you use, because the rust and wood hues stand out against the blue background.

2: An interesting photograph showing the dilapidated condition of the ride and the barren, desolate parking lot, but if you can go back and get this from a different, more interesting perspective, that would be excellent. For example, if you could find a turnstile or something for the foreground.

3: Straightening, I like the image otherwise.

4: Perhaps take a double exposure, one with the sky metered, the other with the ground, and sandwich them in Photoshop.

I plan to and wanted to. But the people who live in the houses across the street were outside watching and I hurried a bit. But getting ON the tracks was the one shot I went for, and didnt get.

1. I just made the colour stand out a bit more in photoshop. That's it.
I was using a basic canon powershot digital that day.

2. I think the only other thing in the entire lot that has not been burned down is a small building that looks like it may have been a ticket booth at one time.
I'll give it a shot.

And when you start talking double exposure, is when this girl gets lost. I'm either going to have to find decent photo classes...or start the trial and error process on my own.

Thanks!

I'm lost too please explain.

I'll have to remember to ask when I go for my tutorial tomorrow. The store where I bought my camera is offering me a free one hour tutorial.

Well Im not usually one to critique anything because my own pics suck, but I thought these were great! I love abandoned amusement parks and the pics you took are a VERY good start to your future photography! Whether it was intentional or not, everyone does pics from the "on the tracks" view, it was nice to see a new angle.
Oh and I think #3 is perfect a little crooked, it adds to the charm!
Fantastic job, I hope you'll go back there and get us some more!!

i really like the first one, the colors are great, just stand a little farther back next time


the rest are pretty good, i like the black and white, just need to be leveled out and centered


the only one i don't like is the last one, the sky is too washed out, try the double exposure that dev send u a link to, it'll work great

if u ever need some tips on stuff e-mail me

yea that last one pissed me off....i was on one side of the fence and had others who wouldnt jump it on the other side waiting for me and yelling to hurry up! Not happy. And it taught me a big lesson about trying to slow down and not rush.

Thanks!

That's craaazzyyyyy... at least for me. I'd be scared out of my mind, and I definitely wouldn't trust those banisters to hold my weight.

I really like the second photo a lot, but I agree with dev. Wider would've been better.

Neat place. Where is that?

The bottom part of the tracks would be fine to stand on...and I'd go up a bit. I certainly wouldnt try and climb to the top.

Moving Unit has some of the best shots of this particular coaster I've seen...

You're off to a halfway decent start here, and everyone else gave you some good advice. Take your time, pull back a bit, keep your lines straight, etc. I've just started using the double exposure trick lately and it works great.

As for the location, and not worrying about nosey neighbors who like to call cops? Do like we did...approach from the woods, don't climb too high up on the coaster, and nobody will even know you're there!

Thanks...but halfway decent start is really being generous! It's ok though - it will come in time as I dont plan on giving up.
I plan on getting lots of hands on experience sooooooooooooon!
