Was on the lake last summer during Aquapalooza. The Boat Pix chopper was out flying. To my surprise I get a E-mail from them today with about 10 photos of my boat.... But the price they want for photos is pretty high... Any one ever purchased photos from them and if so we they good quality?:huh:

I got shot by them last year along with a few others.
Had the proofs sent to my office for review.
Quality was GREAT!
Pricing was OUTRAGEOUS!

Sent the proofs back.

Well, we all saw a boat not too long ago with a pig on the aft deck, so I guess that anything is possible. :lol:
 
They got me too last year at Aquapalooza. I boought mine and they are great. They touch them up and everything. I have 1 in my office - 1 at home and 1 on the boat. Bite the bullet and get them....may be your only chance! Especially on Lake Martin!
 
They got me last year. I ended up buying three. Im very happy

According to their website the pics are (1) for $250 or (3) for $500. Looks like $1,000 for all files in a digital format.

Quite a bit for pictures they weren't hired to take in the first place.
 
They took pictures of me when I was on the way back from Cape Cod (limping in). They did about 4 circles around me. But I refuse to give them my credit card to view the pictures. Too bad there isn't a way to view them first.

You have really got to like yourself to spend that kinda cash on a picture. Hey LOOK AT ME!!!!!
 
I wounder if you called them if they would haggle?

I mean,,,, they put all that money in a chopper, fuel, photographer and pilot. I wounder if discreetly they would take an offer. Has any one tried that?
 
I don't where you can get an action shot from a helicopter any cheaper:huh:

Mine are well worth the money...especially if you're on lake martin in the middle of nowhere alabama.

Umm LOL,,,:smt009
Lake Martin is not exactly no where Alabama.
Not trying to be controversial but defend my local lake,,,do some research. It was host to the 2009 Aquapalooza signature event.

Just sayen.
Completed in 1926, creating what was then the largest man-made body of water in the world.

Another way to get the similar results is have some one take high quality pictures of your boat approaching, passing under and then out the other side from a bridge with a couple of trips might produce most shots for a lot less money.

Make sure you send me $100 bucks for each print out as I have the patent already filed for the idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:huh:
