Theme Park Discussion / Where is Roomie?

I'm curious; what kind of education did you get for this, Roomie?

Unrelated, but Luketh, that is the best avatar ever

Hey

I studied Geology With Oceanography for 3 years at Southampton University before doing a 1 year Masters course in Oceanography at Southampton as well.
Having a strong Geography and Science background from School helped though especially physics and chemistry.

Cheers.

That is one sick job. I'd love to travel the world for a few years. I don't know that I could do it my entire life, though. Those sunsets are ridiculous!

Your blessed man.. in the sense that you get to see the world and your RCT abilities. Family life on the other hand seems a bit rough. Hope everything is well.

DAMN.


and I aspired to flip fucking burgers.

Well I've arrived back in the UK (Nice to see the little flag up there )
It may be dull, sandy and have some serious issues but Turkmenistan certainly put on a nice leaving show for us.

Very nice.

How many pictures did you take for these perfect shots.
Lightning isn't easy to photograph.

AWESOME!

I took about 50 shots and I'd say 30 plus of them had good hits. It was one of the most intense storms i've ever seen.
I set the camera on 10 second exposure and just took one after the other.

Nicely done.

I haven't seen such stormy weather for a while.
There are to many clouds most of the time here in Holland.
And i don't 'travel' like you do.
All of the pictures you posted are nice by the way.
I might even draw some inspiration from them.

Off again but where now? a little closer to home for many of you.

You're in Holland.

Where in Holland exactly?

Ah but I'm not. Despite what my flag tells you.

Denmark infact. That picture above was taken on the Kiel Canal which cuts through the middle of Denmark so you don't have to sail around. One of the busiest man made waterways in the world.

Looks like a fun job if you want to see the world. Your pictures are so crisp.

It does indeed look very busy in that picture.

What model camera are you using, Roomie?

Canon 500D

So I've not updated this in 3 years. 

But since then I've made a sort of Video Diary of my travels.

I do tend to hit a lot of parks while travelling but still like to do the culture too so heres some videos

 

First up is Mine and CP6's recent trip up the east coast of the USA, Coasters only but watch to the end for the stupidist american vending machine ever. Features Carowinds, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Kings Dominion and Six Flags America.

 

Here's some Aurora Borealis Hunting in Sweden from December last year

 

My China and Japan trip from October last year. Various Chinese parks including 3 Happy Valleys, Crazy Japanese Robots and a frog for a penis... (Tough to explain that one)

Hope you enjoy at least one of them. I'm no great movie director but I do enjoy putting these together from time to time. 

You have the best life
