Adobe Lightroom is really great for going through lots of photos real fast.

I really like your Web Site! Super!

For those who have not seen it, you have to look at it!

Thanks for the tip, John. I'll have to take a look at that. :) Although, I do have to admit that I have to review the pics one at a time regardless. I'm ridiculously fussy about choosing the right images.

Thanks for the website compliment! :D It took me awhile to arrive at an overall look that fit all the things I do.

Then it should be perfect for you.

You can import changing filename and metas if you want.

You can look at each picture individually, adjust them. Rotate is fantastic.

Then you can export them into various formats.

Create a simple web site.

Even put them directly into Photoshop.

Thanks for the website compliment! :D It took me awhile to arrive at an overall look that fit all the things I do.

Your quite welcome. Your web site is quite impressive.

Did you use Dreamweaver?

Yes I did. :) Thanks once again for all the info!

While I'm here, I'm going to update with some more local tv news video clips that feature team iquad in action. The Rev fliers dominated the festival this year. It was glorious! :ani_punk:

I'll tell ya, Ant... For me the defining moment of the festival was during Mega Fly and I heard you saying something like "Yeah! This my beach, and it doesn't get any better than this!!!"

Congratulations on your first calling!!! I knew it wouldn't be long before you'd be doing that! :sign_kitelife:

Hello fellow Rev heads...

OMG, what an amazing weekend!! :ani_yahoo: It was great seeing the "old" gang and meeting and flying with the "new gang". Finally, I can put a face with everyone's username. I have to tell you, most sincerely, you are all a genuinely warm and kindhearted bunch. I had so much good, clean fun! OK. Monday afternoon wasn't so clean. With the wind blowing over 25 mph and our lines screaming, I have sand EVERYWHERE... it gets through some clothes. not too clean...nothing a shower or two can't handle.

Thank you all for sharing your wisdom with me to help me improve my flying; it's getting there.

I have tons of photos and video clips. It'll be a few days before I can go through them, but, it should be worth the wait.

Get home safe everyone

Sweet dreams... I know I will, I have this weekend etched into my brain!

Wildwood was amazing this year. You had all types of wind. Great times & great memories. New toys & new friends. I am sure as the pictures start to post the story will unfold.

I had a great time with the Rev Games. Challenging, Skill Building & FUN! I have a lot to learn.

Brad with the octopus and I think I saw Dennis with his scuba diver.

Okay, that's pretty funny...the footage with Dennis' diver is actually from last year, as I'm in the video, along with Kelly Mayhew.

My wife tells me this was the happiest she's seen me since the birth of our son...........14 years ago. Can't say that's quite true but WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This weekend was amazing!!!!!

Meeting and placing the names with the faces, the genuiness and friendliness and the helpfullness and the guidance, etc etc etc......truly amazing!!!

Thanks to all who put it together, BEATRIX and company.

Rev Games = amazing! I stunk it up but what fun anyway!

Thanks to Antman for the use of HIS beach and his putting up with me next to him in my first ever mega fly. (hope I didn't mess you up too bad)

Scotty W, a big heartfelt thanks for everything.

IQUAD boys, I bow to you all. Thanks for the tips along the way and for helping me become a better flyer.

To all the kind folks I met this year who also gave their wisdom and tips, I cant wait to fly with you all again!

This weekend was truly amazing!!!!!

It's been a long day but it's good to be home!! It was a great weekend in the Woods. It was great meeting everyone that we see posting here..

Having Scott, Daren and Laura over to the hotel for dinner on Sunday was so much fun!!! Thanks for coming folks and eating some of the meat balls. Come to Florida for some leftovers.

The indoor was awesome. And a big thanks to Scottie for the indoor lessons. Rev games were a lot of fun as well.

I have to say the best part was handing off Steve's Red Dragon to Ben and watching him fly it with a huge smile on his face.

I've posted some pictures in the Gallery.

What a weekend!

It was great!

Sadly I am back to work now rather than flying with all my friends.

At least now I will be reminded every time my phone rings and says "Watch the tram car please!".

I am looking forward to everybody's pictures!

Here's one that John wanted three copies of...

Alden, That was hysterical and a great idea to record that as your ringtone. Send it off to the Wildwood Chamber of Commerce. I'm sure they'll get a kick out of it.

Please don't tell me who that is :kid_drool:

I ended up opting out at the last minute due to the expenses of a 380 mi each way trip.

Good thing is the money I had saved for it got me 2 kites :kid_happy: with 2 more on the way.

And yes I finally did give in and get a set of B-Series so the weekend wasn't a total loss after all.

It Sucks I didn't get to meet alot of people I had wanted to but the season isn't over just yet.

Hello Sherri, Steve and the wonderful chef :kid_smartass:

It was great meeting you all. Your hospitality was five stars; and the food was wonderful. Thank you so very much! I truly hope to make it down to your neck of the woods in January and fly in your "backyard"...that should be a great time. It was a treat to see your Red Dragon up close and personal; I can understand why it was such a treat to watch Ben fly it!
