Although it's not a coaster, the ride + evil looking sky just looks awesome together-

And of course I have to add the fact that all of those photos were taken by... ME :)

ThePhantomLives, I didn't know you took that. I'm glad you stepped foreward to take credit for that, I was just the one who linked it here. Excellent work. You have a pretty good eye for what angle makes a good shot. I think that shot is better than the one that KBF uses to promote the ride!

Hehe, thanks! :)

KBF doesnt have the best PR dept out there so they can't always hire the best companies to shoot thier rides for media use...

I'm actually going to College right now and majoring in photography/cinema production, so hopefully my photos will get better over time :)

I've only got a couple that I really liked of the shots I've taken. Amazing I haven't taken any pictures of the coasters at my home park, CP.

This is Demon at SFGAm www.webtechnik.com/ebony/demon.htm

And the corkscrew at MiA: http://www.webtechnik.com/ebony/miacork.htm

I am really happy with this shot I took at PPP this past fall.

I like this one...

The park is still open despite the snow on the mountain behind it.

Even so Rubber Ducky, I think that is a very random ride name! A mix between SFMM's Colossus and IOA's Fire Dragon perhaps? Nevermind. :)

Thats my favorite.

All add to the pile this photo: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=89731. I first saw it a few years ago. Obviously there's been some manipulation, but any photographer would argue that photography doesn't end once the shutter's been released. I don't have any idea of the coaster, looks to be your standard kiddies coaster; Herschell or Miler or something.

From my own collection, Sea World's (Australia) Corkscrew, is a damn fine looking ride. http://www.totalthrills.com/swgallery.php?page=corkscrew07. As soon as I can get to that park during the winter, I will to retake that shot and make use of the nice blue skies we get for the cooler months.

Dreamworld's Cyclone (formerly Luna Park's Big Dipper) looks pretty nice, especially against the gardens: http://www.totalthrills.com/dwgallery.php?page=cyclone12.

(my undeniable love for theme park scenery, gardens and landscaping is showing)

-----------------
So what if the best coaster in Australia is a second hand Arrow?

Well this picture I took is a great place to take a picture of your friend/ relative/ significant other.

Well, this thread is an oldie, but a goodie so I decided to post my new favorite coaster picture. I meant to check this out earlier in the year, but I forgot about it and just remembered about it today.

From the beginning of its construction, I always thought that Thunder Dolphin looked sweet, especially since its in the middle of the city and it goes on top of and through buildings.

Continuing with the self promotion... I've got exactly two coaster pictures that I'm proud of. I've got lots of video, but only two pictures.
