Caution Children Playing
August 29th, 2009Today I figured I would run over to Universal and see how long I would have to wait to ride the new coaster, Rip Ride Rockit. They are still working out the kinks because when I got over to the entrance, they had just reopened after being shutdown for some reason. Last weekend when I was there the wait was 150 minutes…I waited less than 40. Outside of the 90 degree climb for the first hill, the ride has the feel of a wooden coaster, with lots of “air time”. My only complaint is that it is pretty bumpy, and bumpy coasters give me a headache.
While I was at the park I wanted to try to get some action shots, but pretty soon after I rode, it was shut down again. While I was waiting for things to get rolling again, I wandered around and looked for other stuff to shoot. I think I managed to get a few decent pictures.

Oh…and don’t worry, there will be more Lego pics…

I might be stuck on Lego guys for a bit…you have been warned.

August 26th, 2009I have shot lego bricks quite a few times, but I have never had any lego people…so when I saw this kit tonight I picked it up.

August 24th, 2009I think there might be something on my lens…

Maybe I should explain…this was an experiment using something “off the shelf” to modify the image. My modifier for this shot was the top part of a Dew bottle.
