Well i was in the NY Harbor in September and was shot by boat pix. These are taken from my digital camera but i am wondering if i should keep them or not. $500 for all three

What say you???

Nice pics, but $500?? I'm with Capt Fred, that's a little too pricey for me

What do you think? Yeah they are taken from a slightly higher angle than you'd get form most other boats, But put a friend on a bridge with a decent camera and get some from a higher angle. It may cost a case of brew, but you'll like 'em a lot better - especially since they won't cost five hundred bucks.

Five Hundred? They are out of their flippin' minds, mate.

They shot me a few years ago in the harbor during a tournament and wanted 500.00,,,I told them they were crazy as hell and sent the pic's back.
They were out of focus and of poor quality anyway.
Like Kern said,,,put a friend on a bridge with a decent camera.
Or you could hire a local pro to take some shots of you for a lot less than that.......................

Skeeterman ~ don't do it. Those pics are fair at least. They certainly don't look like $500 pics to me. I'm looking at it from a composition point of view...not to mention the impact that $500 will make on your bank account. Just not worth the money IMO.

Not to mention - now you've put them on here and we've all seen 'em so why waste the money now? Ha!

Yea,,,,Im sure you can find somebody to do it for ya.
Here is a shot I took of my buddys SailFish this past summer while he was fishing a tournament.
I charged him 40.00 dollars for a 12"X18" print,,he loved it!

I'm not too far from you. Give me $200.00 and I'll shoot you and your boat from a bridge.

If you want send me an email with the files you have if their too big burn a CD and I'll make some very nice digital prints for you

Jane.......Yea the pics dont look that good on here but the ones they sent are outstanding. However, they are going back. Too damn expensive. You can buy just one for $250 which i considered (I only like the first one anyway) but I ruled that out too. I like Kerno's idea!!

Fastfjr........Ill look you up if my plan falls through lol Thanks!
