glider ride

BWX · Aug 27, 2003, 09:53 AM

Just a few photos. My girlfriend and I went home last weekend and she went on a glider ride. She took a 35mm camera with her and went right over my parents house. She took a few pics that came out pretty good. I just scanned them @ 1200dpi and reduced them /w photoshop. I have a few I blew up of the house I grew up in. The little redish blob is my car in the driveway. If you couldn't tell, my house is the last one FROM the bottom on the right of the main road tucked in the woods... These pics look amazing at 7000 x 5000 pixels resolution, but they were 20mb each, so this is about as good as they can look while still being able to post them.

feels like I am up there with the glider man, holding the stick and watching the level... very very nice...
Reminds me of my days with the civil air patrol....

Yeah thanks, she did pretty good. I haven't been up in a while, last summer was the last time actually. My uncle builds open cockpit bi-planes and I go up with him in those. All kinds of fun!

Thanks, and yes they are blurred, those ones are just close-ups of my house and my car- They are 35mm print's scanned in at 1200dpi, then reduced, cropped, and blown up- I'm amazed they are as good as they are really- The picture was a little blurry from the beginning too. It's just cool to see my house from 2000ft.

Hey thanks, I've been a little busy lately, I really need to get some more done on it- Can you believe that as it is there is already around 8 layers? I'm new to PS- still learning the basics about layers.
