Scenery Pics

After seeing somebodies Highlight of my day thread I was thinking I had some nice pics from a plane. From a plane is one of the best places to take some cool pics... Hopefully this thread can break up the monoanity (sp?) of all the political threads...ENJOY!!! :dthumb:

All of these pics were takin off a DC9 plane while flying over Lake Erie coming back from PA about a year ago...

Those are pretty cool.. Did you take them out of a commercial plane? :cool: Edit: just read your 2nd post.

great pics bro, but tell me, how did you get the date to appear in the sky like that ? :lol:

Sweeeeet! Here's a question someone might know the answer to. Let's say I have a digital pic that I want made into a LARGE picture. Any thoughts on where I'd got to get that done, or an online business that does that sort of thing. For instance, let's say I wanted to make one of those sunset pics into art for my living room wall. Where do I go?

oh man, I would imagine a local printing shop would be the first place to start, maybe even a local art store might have some ideas on how to blow it up for you.

Most of your Rite Aid/Meijer/CVS' or any place that has one of those Kodak things can print off a good sized pic for you. They can take in digital and/or paper pics...

My vacation to Hawaii :dthumb:

Those are sweet Ace. I escpecially like the purple and pink in the 3rd pic!

Ace, sweet pics. Which island(s) and area(s)?

Here's some of mine from a bike trip this year. Not form a plane, not too spectacular, but damn do I wish I was there in the warm sunshine right now.

Here are some from Silver Lake Sand Dunes just off Lake Michigan

oh man, those rock Ace :cool: ...nice change from looking out the window here and seeing rain...

Where do I go? Your digital pic has to have a high resolution. If you have it on a card, you can take it to just about and photo developer. However, if it's just a regular jpg, etc, you're SOL unfortunately.

Man, I miss Silver lake big time. I used to take my quadzilla there all the time... party down at night.. ride dunes all day... but then again I traded that for my first bike, so I can't complain too much :)

www.shutterfly.com does an excellent job of printing pics into posters. We got two of our Hawaii pics printed there, for poster/wall mounting purposes. The quality was awesome. They also print the typical picture size photos, and when I'm ready to do some scrapbooking I will have more pics printed by them. They have specials often, so check back frequently. Simply upload pics to their site, and choose which ones you want printed and what size. On to the pics... here are a few from my Hawaii trip:

I love the dunes...they rock!! I took my stock 4x4 ranger there and it did really well. Yep, it took Test Hill like a champ, so it's all good. Here's some pics of me in my Ranger and a pic of a school bus!!! :dthumb: The last pic was looking down from Test Hill :eek: For those of you that don't know...Test Hill is the biggest hill at Silver Lake. When you get to the bottom of the hill you have to nail the throttle to the floor and back off right before the top. Too soon and you don't make it up. Too late and you go soaring over the top and it hurts!!!

Here's a pic of the Ranger makin it to the top!! Believe me I got the pedal to the floor in some 4x4 action... Then after you make it up Test Hill you go over some nice hills and then over Drop off cliff...I went over that and it was amazing...nuttin like blowin over the top of a sand hill and get totally air born in a truck!! The best thing about test hill and drop off cliff...you are heading toward the hill and you see nuttin but sand...then you hit the hill and see nuttin but sky, go over the top and you see nuttin but sand!! Pic 4 & 5 gives you a better idea of how high test hill is..

Becca those pics rock!! Pic 3 looks awesome...what causes that? Pic 4...is that a cruise ship out there?

Just for the record Becca and I were not in Hawaii together (since i have no clue who she is) LOL Heres a few more from my trip in April. I try to take more "artsey" pics rather than just boring typical pics. All of my Hawaii pics were taken on Maui (Kapalua) If I remember at home, I will post a picture that I won a national contest for and it is now published in a photo book called "Images of the Mind"

Here's a few more cool ones..

Ok. I gotta add a little Deals Gap scenery from the WOS trip this year.

those rock ace..damn I cant wait to go this summer!!!!

Ace those pics are awesome... N4S, are those taken by you or have you been google image searchin!!!

I have alot of sweet ones at home on my comp that I took or CJD took..but I wanted to put a few up that I have seen b/4 that i like..so :neen:

Yeah but are those from you or from the web? This is important man, PAY ATTENTION!!! :lol:

These are from google originally, but had them stored on my comp here at work, and use them for wallpaper at times...

*Sighs* All the pics are so beautiful! Guess I'm a fool like that. Doesn't take much to impress me. :)

WOW... all of those pics are so beautiful! I love beach pics. Here are just two that I have. Anything that has to do with the beach I love...even the seagulls that like to poop on ya...

Here are some from Silver Lake Sand Dunes just off Lake Michigan Holy sheep ***** batman! I go to the dunes every year! They totally rock! I will have to scan in the pic of my 76 F-250 conquering the dunes and put it here - no digital pics of the dunes unfortunately. Nice pics all. Yeah Shutterfly is a good place to go for pics.

My third pic is a sunset viewed from the top of the volcano. It was so cold up there waiting for the sun to rise, but it was definitely worth it. The clouds were below us. The fourth pic of the sunset was awesome as well. We saw that ship earlier in the day while walking around the town of Lahaina and while eating dinner... well you saw the picture! My pics are all of Maui as well.

I can't wait to go sailin over test hill on a dirt bike, as soon as I get around to buying one!

The dunes ROCK!! Get the pics up man!!!

My question is when are we going to get a WOS trip over to the dunes? That would be kick as$ - everyone ride and someone trail with a truck or something. We should pose that as a question at the next meeting for next year when the sun reappears in the enchanted mitten...

All of them are great pics. :dthumb:

and now I wasnt google image searching gas man!! :smash:

I love the dunes...the last time I went there (those pics) I followed my uncle up there and stayed in a tent outside his camper. It was desent!!! I'd go again for sure!! Take the new lease FX4 up there!!!!

Stay out there in a B&B and you'll get all the best suggestions for the hidden spots. The best include trespassing to get there, but no one seems to care, and you can find some amazing spots for such photos. You've got quite an impressive skill, Ace :thumbs:

Off the Blue Ridge Parkway...

That is awesome Shan!!

way cool, thats makes good wallpaper too! :cool:
