I never knew that they decorated this ride for Christmas! Wow. I haven't been to DL for Christmas since, well, the late '80s? Yikes!

Maybe next Christmas trip to CA we'll have to visit. Nice pic!

Nice castle pic caygrayloremomma :worship:

I will stay on the Sleeping Beauty theme...I have seen a few shots like the below angle, I specifically remember Nostalgic Dads shot which inspired this one.

Alright, I'm finally making some progress on uploading my recent shots. This area is always tough to get a decent shot since it's so dark and there's at least 1 or 2 folks standing here. This was a 40 second exposure and I barely managed to get it before someone walked up again.

Thanks, it's from the Wheel House of the Mark Twain. Here's another decent shot that I got from that vantage point:

You guys have really inspired me, so finally I have a couple of decent shots that I want to post.

I have a couple of these at different times of the year, because the architecture simply fascinates me for some reason. I'll have to upload the one I took at sunset last year. The compostion was better and the color was amazing.

[quiltymom]

Now, this photos isn't very good. I knew that the reflection from Main Street would obscure most of the window display, but I had to try - ya know?

What I think is so funny about this pic is that it is a double self portrait! :laughing: First, you see my larger reflection in the window glass, but then if you look closely, I'm perfectly framed in the mirror in the display!

Well, at least I thought it was funny! :lmao:

I love your photos and Danny's and Robert's, too - I know I'm leaving a whole bunch of folks out! You guys all make me want to run out and upgrade my measely Sony to a really nice digital SLR. (I also feel bad for my AE1 and the 3 other non-digitals sitting in their bags in the closet like red-headed step children!)

I think your shot is very cool. I almost feel as if I'm about to play the Disneyland Uno game, but since we actually have one with a similar theme....

This was taken back in December of 2005 - our oldest again - on my shoulders as we were leaving DL Baby Care. If you have ever been in the waiting area, they have a Victorian wall grouping of photos and mirrors.

I have a question - when linking my Flickr photos, how do I make them bigger in my post? I'm new at this and I noticed they come out really small compared to most.

It's because you are getting ready to move to Washington, and the sky is seldom "blue" here!

Would it be reasonable to bail from work right now pick up DD 4 and cruise the 8 hrs drive right now down to DL for a long weekend? Of course, I'll call in sick at work, and school for DD for tomorrow... :laughing:

[quiltymom]

That is a great self portrait. I really like it.
In the morning the sun shines right into this side of the street, and there is a lot of reflection, so I tried at night to take the picture in hopes that the refelection would be less... hummmm....maybe late afternoon would be better?. :confused3

I would've loved to have been on Main Street at a different time to get better photos, but I counted my self lucky to have gotten at least that!!! My family takes on commando mode when we enter the park, so unless I settle for splitting up with them to take photos, I have to catch what I can when I can. Most of my pics have been taken on the run ... literally!

But thanks for posting the photo so I can see what it really looked like! :rotfl2:

Ever since I've been posting pics on the "Details" thread on the WDW boards I've been noticing detail stuff from around the parks. And I noticed something very interesting at DCA Here's a fish from King Triton's Carousel (I only have a detail of it) ...

http://quiltymom.smugmug.com/photos/342184964_RQZFC-L.jpg

And a tile from the bathroom over near Golden Dreams ...

http://quiltymom.smugmug.com/photos/342176640_mSpdr-L.jpg

If it wasn't for the fact that DD & I rode Triton's Carousel in 6 times in a row (with the CMs blessing!) while waiting for DS & DH to get off of Screamin', I would've never noticed this. I only took this one pic of the tiles because people were looking at me like I was v-e-r-y strange when I took this one! :lmao: But all of the tiles were the fish on the carousel!

[NostalgicDad]

I'm curious when the last time this area was actually used. Based on the amount of dust on the covers, it's been a while. But, I love the music being played here and it's quite spooky since no one's around. Well, at least no one we can actually "see"! :tiptoe:

That is a really cool shot, Danny - don't worry - those covers will come flying off at the end of September when they reopen for Haunted Mansion Holiday! That's really the only time they ever seem to need them! Those FPs get snapped up by 1pm on a slow day! The 3 hours waits at Christmas are a killer!

How do I miss these things? I have never noticed the owl or the dancing Aurora and Prince statue. I have been so many times I thought I knew the park so well, maybe I have tunnel vision and always head to the same places and such? Well the next trip I am devoting to things like that.

I've always been into the details - it helped that my first real trip to WDW was at age 23 (with an interest in art and architecture) and I didn't get to DL as an adult until age 32 (after being fully entrenched in Disney at that point).

One way to do it is to have a visit where you do nothing but wander around and sit on benches and look at the scenery - I know I'm talking crazy, but force yourself to slow down and not do rides. Read the captions on the photos on the walls! When you go as often as we do, we get a lot of quiet time in the parks. When we went to WDW last year with the kids, I think we maybe did a total of 20 attractions in the whole week we were there....

We simply don't rush - and really can't sometimes, with diapers and the fact that my girls always have napped in the stroller. We've also taken it at a pace that we aren't concerned with baby swapping rides (although we've done it a few times lately since Z doesn't nap anymore and is old enough to ride things with Daddy while I sit). That is how my husband really has learned to love the place. He wasn't into it at all when we had our first date there, but once I starterd showing him the little things, he really grew to appreciate it fully.

I just wish that I had started photographing some of the little details during those periods. The folks on these threads gave me the little green bug of envy, so now I've decided it's time to catch up with them!

[NostalgicDad]

Joe......I like what you did with the Jack Sparrow shot. Looks a lot better than all the red you typically get in that section of the ride. Here's one of mine that's very similar to yours......

It almost looks like you took that photo from a parked car while driving down the street in one of the nice parts of town in New Orleans! It really has that "I'm driving down the street looking at houses to buy" feel! That's really impressive to do with a crowded place like that area of the park is!

Wow.

Danny and Joe what ISO were you shooting the Pirates shots at? They're nice pictures, BTW!

[°O°Joe]

Danny and Joe what ISO were you shooting the Pirates shots at? They're nice pictures, BTW!

I don't know about Danny's, but mine is ISO6400. It seems like the D300 does okay at ISO6400 as long as the exposure is correct to begin with. I shot mine in RAW and did an auto WB to get the colors. I usually click the auto WB to see if it looks good - half the time it does - but sometimes I need to make adjustments.

BTW I like Danny's pic better. It's closer up which shows more detail on Captain Jack. I'm guessing he shot his with a 50mm lens?

Wow.

Thanks! Yeah, all that's missing is the "For Sale" sign in the front lawn. ;) I shot this at 10mm so it does give a little bit different perspective.

[NostalgicDad]

Danny and Joe what ISO were you shooting the Pirates shots at? They're nice pictures, BTW!

ISO was 3200 at f/1.8 resulting in a 1/25 shutter speed. I also shot this RAW/Auto WB and adjusted the WB like Joe did afterwards. He's right about the characteristics of the D300's noise at high ISO levels. Any increase in exposure during PP will definitely increase the noise level. And, he's right again......I was using the nifty 50. ;)

Perlster, which shop was this? I love the Partners figure in the middle. Was it for sale? i know I have seen the bronze version for sale, but never this white one (is that ivory or something?).

It was a while ago, but my recollection is that it was outdoors - maybe you'd call it a permanent kiosk - in Downtown Disney. I assume that the reason all those items were displayed was because they were for sale.

[quiltymom]

How do I miss these things? I have never noticed the owl or the dancing Aurora and Prince statue. I have been so many times I thought I knew the park so well, maybe I have tunnel vision and always head to the same places and such? Well the next trip I am devoting to things like that.

The owl is over by Snow White's wishing well to just the right of the Castle (as you enter from the hub). If it wasn't for my kids having fun with the wishing well, I wouldn't have spent time taking pics in the area. And yes, you do just have to slow down and look - which is hard to do if you're touring the park commando style! (This advice is coming from a commando family! :goodvibes )

It was a while ago, but my recollection is that it was outdoors - maybe you'd call it a permanent kiosk - in Downtown Disney. I assume that the reason all those items were displayed was because they were for sale.

It almost sort of looked like a centerpiece for decoration among the other items - that is why I wasn't sure if it was for sale. I will have to wander around DTD and look for it. If I am not mistaken, I think there is some sort of crystal place in DTD. Maybe that is where Partners was, in a kiosk outside of the shop. Thanks!

Sweet shot °O°Joe !!! I LOOOVE it :)

[travelmel]

O-Joe,
That was a phonomenal shot! I can't wait to see more from you.

Nostalgic Dad,
Great angle of HM.

Yellow Mickey Ponchos,
How wonderful to sit in the parks and enjoy the details! I do my best but I'm going to make even more of an effort next time.

This was probably taken from another side of the [whatever it is]. I wouldn't have posted it, given the reflections, but it does seem to hint that the Mickey & Walt statue is for sale, as it's certainly not a centerpiece here.

Perlster, which shop was this? I love the Partners figure in the middle. Was it for sale? i know I have seen the bronze version for sale, but never this white one (is that ivory or something?).

It's in a kiosk in DTD. It is made of alabaster. I bought one last Nov for my husband. We are going to display it with the Thomas Kinkade 50th anniversay print we bought. It really is beautiful.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/perlster/linked/IMG_3180-1.jpg

Thanks for posting that for me, Perlster! I just caught it this very second. Yes, you are right, it absolutley is not a centerpiece here. I wonder if they are/were charging $500 for it or some outrageous thing. I like the regular old bronze Partners you can buy in the Disneyana shop for $100 or whatever because it looks most like the real statue. But this white one is very interesting. If it were less money than the other Partners bronze version, I might buy it. But just because it is white, they would probably charge a small fortune!

[Sherry E]

Was it expensive, Mikayla? I mean, everything in DL is expensive but any more so than usual? It may not even still be there when I go in October. Merchandise tends to disappear! Do you remember where in DTD the kiosk is? I want to get the Partners sculpture to set next to my "Mickey Self-Portait" and "Mickey the Thinker" sculptures.

Also, I have always loved Thomas Kinkade's stuff. He also has a series of prints that he did on Catalina Island, my other favorite place!! Did he do something special for Disney's 50th that I have not seen? I have not heard of it. But since he loves California, I would imagine he would do lots of Disney stuff, though maybe focusing on a different aspect of Disney than the touristy aspect.

Sherry,

That shop is operated by Arribas Bros, so they have a variety of things that you can and can't get in their "in-park" shops. Kind of like the one in DTD at WDW.

Oh, right. I recall seeing the Arribas Bros. kiosk as we passed through DTD. I will go check it out. Thanks, Nancy! I know exactly where to go - in fact, I can go there when we first arrive on a Thursday late afternoon/early evening, just to get it out of the way.

It is from the Arribas Brothers collection, like YellowMickeyPoncho's said. I have seen it in a couple of places. The one I bought was from kiosk in DTD, it was pretty close to the entrance to the DLH because I ran down there from my room and it didn't take very long. I think it was around $125.

Yes - there's a special 50th Anniversary one. It's of the castle and partners statue. Very nice. There is also a Snow White one. It's her in the woods coming up on a cottage. It was beautiful. I think he was going to be at DL this week for the release to do signing and meet n' greet. You'll probably see it if you do a google search for it.

Hi, it's Shrunken Ned and he's located in Adventureland (in the shop across from the Jungle Cruise). You could have your fortune read (I believe it costs 50 cents) and he always says something funny. You also get a funny card as a souvenier. :goodvibes

Joe you got the pic I tried to get, mine was a tad blury but prolly good for a 5x7 print... I blame my lack of experience vs camera...

I will stay in DCA with this pic, nothing again too spectacular just a clean picture. I think it would make a nice wallpaper.

Thanks CAbryan! No post processing on that shot. However, I was a bit surprised when I noticed it as well. It was a 47 second exposure and with the green tree next to the gray peak, my assumption is that the light casts that green hue on the sensor's photocells. Also, if you were to see a 100% crop of the peak, it's a bit overexposed causing the colors to wash out. I took another shot at 26 seconds and it exposed correctly but the rest of the frame was a bit dark. Although, the stars didn't trail much at all.

Here is the 26 second exposure first. 2nd is the same shot with a white balance adjustment and a 100% crop. Much better color I think.

That second shot really shows how you got that green, very nice....and I think you are right about the light cast, the D80 sensors love green and I dont know enough to talk about anything else other then what I read :)

I like it. Did you find it difficult to set up a tripod with all the folks walking around that area? The geo-tagging is also really cool.

Joe....nice location and shot. Looks like you might have set up right outside of Star Traders? This was shot on the day we left a couple of weeks ago. I tried a couple of locations but not this one. I like it. Did you find it difficult to set up a tripod with all the folks walking around that area? The geo-tagging is also really cool. If you get a chance, PM me and tell me which gps you're using on the D300. :thumbsup2
Thanks all for your kind words on the fireworks shot :goodvibes Danny - yeah, I was sitting at one of the patio tables outside the pizza restaurant there (Redd Rockett's Pizza Port?). Mostly it was just people passing by, not in the frame long enough to really ruin the shot. Only a couple shots did people stop RIGHT in front of the camera for a few moments. All in all it was pretty sucessful and not crowded back there at all. My geo-tagging method is not technical at all. I just tag them by memory on google maps VIA a bookmarklet within Flickr. So they're not always exact, but usually pretty darn close.

Nice pictures, everybody!

Quilty mom,
are you/did you do a TR?? If so can I have the link?

You didn't see me here.... :tiptoe:

I should do one, but I haven't started it yet. I'm having too much fun digi-scrapping at the moment! I'll let you know when I do one...

Hmmm.... maybe..... I dunno.... Ummm....:scratchin

Give me a hint......

How 'bout this? It's on the path between Paradise Pier and the Grizzly Peak Recreation area...

This is probably one of my favorite threads to look at. You all are so talented, and creative. Makes me want to learn to take better pictures!!

Maybe one of these days I will post some pictures, but they aren't works of art like some of yours.

Thanks again for the pure enjoyment!!:cloud9:

That is such a nice picture. You can really see all the details on the float, when the parade is going on, it just seems to whizz by so quickly and I am so busy taking pictures that I don't see all the details like you can when you look at it like this. Wow. It is beautiful. :)

Well, I've flown into the eastern time zone this afternoon and since it's nearly midnight here, I figured I would go ahead and post for Wednesday since I may not get to log on until later in the day anyway.

Quilty Mom,
What's DigiScraping?? PM me if it's too off topic. :confused3

I don't think it's too off topic because we gotta do something with all of these Disney photos we take and post here, right???? :woohoo:

DigiScrapping is Digital Scrapbooking. It's very addicting! You can check out what we're doing over on the Scrapbooking Forum (http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=123). Here's a link to pages that have been made (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1369373), and although this thread is for the digi-scrapping challenge hosts, it also lists the past and current challenges (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1913828)in the first post. Come on over and take a look!

And if you have any other questions, you can always PM me, too.

Wow. That is a very different perspective on the fireworks! I've never seen one with the Mark Twain as the focal point. I like it.

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

Joe - Monorail Red is breathtaking in that shot!!!!! Are you local enough to have photo'd Blue yet, with it's purple tinted windows? We saw it while dining at Jazz on Sunday, but couldn't really get a good shot - too much distance for our pocket-sized camera.

Here's mine for today:

This shot really is all about timing - as the "lightning" flash is really fast, and when there is no "lightning", the scene is literally pitch black. I'm shocked that my camera was actually able to auto focus in this extremely short time frame, but it pulled it off! ...love that camera :^)
