Legoland
has some great theming, some of the best examples of which can be
found around the Dragon Coasters. Here we have a great model, where
the colours have come out really well. |

These
photo comic strips are achieved either taking a video of the ride, and
cutting and pasting frames from the film, or as done here using sports
mode to take lots of photos one after another.
Here I've created this dramatic montage of a boat on Hydro going down
the steep drop and splashing into the pool. The good light helps the
quality of the photos, and the photo comic strip format illustrates
this dramatic section perfectly. |

Some
good light, and a dramatic sky backdrop really help this photo of the
Cobra at Paultons Park. Combined with good positioning of the car,
plus a little cropping of the photo to help focus on the U-turn
structure make a very striking and effective photograph. |

On a
trip to London I had the luxury of both time and great lighting
conditions to take photos of the London Eye. This meant I took lots of
great photos. I struggled to choose which ones to use in the London
Eye Photo Album, because I had so many ones I liked, but I had to draw
the line somewhere. I used 30 in the end, including a few night
shots I'd taken on a previous visit. Here I've done a montage of 3 of
my favourites. |

A
good photo of the Samaria, from when it was at Chessington. It's in a perfect position in the centre of
the picture, thanks to the use of sports mode on my camera. The trees also form a great backdrop to the ride.

The
rules of photography say you shouldn't take a photo facing into the
sun. Over the years I've ignored that rule to create some
dramatic silhouette shots, including this highly dramatic one of the
hill lift of Speed at Oakwood. |

A
great shot of one of the trains going round the corkscrew of
Nemesis. The timing of the picture is great, with the train right in
the centre of the picture. |

One
of the problems I had at Flamingo Land was it was a quiet day so it
meant a long wait to get a photo of a lot of the rides operating,
and with limited time at the park this wasn't always an option. I
got lucky though when going on the cable car and got this
spectacular view of Kumali with the train in an almost perfect
location. This along with a spectacular sky making a great backdrop
makes a great photo. |

A
very dramatic picture of the hill lift of the Big One silhouetted
against a dramatic sky drop. The steel silhouette and the flare from
the sun makes for a very interesting photo. |

When I
first got to Adventure Island to try Rage the sky was very gloomy, and
it didn't look like I would be able to get some very good photos.
Luckily there was a change of weather later in the day providing some
great conditions, helped by the fact you can walk around a large part
of the ride to get photos from various angles.
The favourite one I took is this dramatic one of the vertical loop
with the hill lift and first drop in the background. I think what
really makes it is the drama created from being so close to the ride. |
