Boat Pix

Post by aweimer »

Had photo's taken by a Boatpix.com chopper a few weeks ago. They just sent me the proofs.

WOW are these expensive pictures. 8" x 10" is $100, 16" x 25" is $250. I think i might order the last photo for my christmas present. :)

Where else can you get nice photo's like this, why not!

She sure looks nice underway, this is the first time i've seen photo's of her underway. Hard to get when i'm always at the helm.

They took photos of mine underway about 6 years ago during a tournament.
They sent me proofs and yes, they are expensive and I declined as the photos they took, were much like what I had from previous shots taken from another flybridged boat...

That being said, if you like what pictures they took, they can be real nice!

Nice..I also like your choice Aaron

Expensive...it is relative to how the pic was taken. Can't be too cheap running a helicopter out to take pictures.

Thanks for sharing..looks GREAT!!!!

You did a great job dodging those three helicopters. They appear to be swarming you in the pictures.

Looks good.

Thanks just wish it was a sunny day when they took them. Maybe that is part of what they did and downed the lighting in the photo's who knows.

I will be talking to them about improving the brightness and contrast before getting the final photo.

Flag

Post by TADTOOMUCH »

It's a nice picture except the flag with the gold "M" on it. It would look better with a nice green flag with a white "S" on it. Might even get better gas mileage and go faster.
