    And FYI, you can rent your own helicopter for $400-500.
    They said they would only charge my CC $1 to verify.

    They send you a few photos, you have ten days to send back the ones you don't want and then they charge you.

    The way we've been doing it is getting 8-10 guys together and a photographer, rent a copter for two hours and split the cost, now it's easier if you're in a boat club like we are, we're in FMO and we do it a few times a year, pics turn out great.
    That's the hot ticket.

    I've wanted to do this and was talking about it with my buddy the morning before I got my picture taken.

    Here's a few from our runs, much cheaper and nicer.

    That's my Formula lower left of the bottom pic, New Years Day doesn't get much better than this.

    I'm sure they raised their prices after their chopper crashed into the lake last year.

    What? lol

    BTW- I'm still waiting. They charged my CC $1 to verify and told me it would be 2-3 weeks before I receive anything. I asked several questions over the phone and they seemed legit. I hope the pictures came out nice.

    Those pictures look good. Especially the 3rd one. My only criticism would be that they are charging you top dollar and they don't even take the time to crop the picture to center the boat in the frame. Just my .02.

    The pictures I looked at (with Grads), 1) not one picture could you see all 4 people in the boat. 2) they were extremely washed out (over exposed). The color on your pictures looks great, so it must have just been a bad photographer that took ours.

    Those pictures were just the proofs they emailed me.The pics that I purchased were nice.They really clean them up,they are centered and printed on good quality photo paper.
