Hello, Been updating my site quite a bit lately, back-processing panoramic photo's (this takes a fair bit of work) and have a lot posted at: http://disney.rocket9.net/panoramic-Disneyland.htm That link has the Disneyland photo's (for which I'm fully caught up), but also takes to you...

Here's mine... I like playing with low light / long duration shots, and plenty of great stuff in the parks to shoot. If you like these, there's High res, and more on my Disney Desktops site at http://disney.rocket9.net/ . Bernie

Hi, This may set a record for replying to an old message, but you may like: http://disney.rocket9.net/ It's my Disney Desktop Wallpaper site, recently updated with wallpaper images up to 1920x1200 (good for 24" wide monitors), and down to 800x600. Besides the pictures I took on the...

Hi, Wow, f22 might be a bit too closed, though something heading that direction, say f8.0 or whatever your camera has as the next setting should be good. I hadn't though of digital camera's with the ability to get f-stops down that far when I wrote the tips (will update, and encourage you...

Hi, I've got some night/fireworks tips on my site, at: http://disney.rocket9.net/ along with a bunch of my favorite shots. I've gotten good shots in full manual mode, with a tripod, with 2 second exposure delay (to avoid camera shake), f8.0 (to get more pictures of the light and less...

Hi, I'd expect that the Canon S80 should be a great camera... I have a Canon S40, which is a few years old, and it's been fully excellent, having shot 16,000+ pictures on it over the past four years. The S80 is probably 4 generations newer in this line, while retaining the same basic...

Here's my favorite shot, from the terrace at Cosmic Ray's. Bernie --------------- Disney Desktops @ Rocket9: http://disney.rocket9.net/ High resolution park's wallpaper and more

Hi, I've just had a pretty similiar conversation over on the Photography board in this thread: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=995561 In response to one of your specific q's... A larger F-stop number (say f8.0) means a more closed aperature, which also means a longer...

Hiya's, I've been talking to folks on the photography board, about night/fireworks/long duration photo tips, and mentioning my Disney Desktops site, and thought it would be worth sharing with everyone on the main board as well. Is up at: http://disney.rocket9.net/ I've got a bunch...

Also, just occured to me, that you may wish to read the online reviews at: http://dpreview.com/ I've found this to be a really great digital photography review site, with I think fair reviews. The S80 scores very well. Bernie

I've been completely happy with the S40 (for about 4 years, and about 12,000 pictures kept), so I'd expect that you'd do just as well with the S80. It's small enough to carry around (though not an ultra compact compared to what's available today), with good features both in Auto point and...

Hi, I have a 4 megapixel Canon S40 that I've had good results with for fireworks shots. It's about 4 years old, and is speedy enough, though probably slow by current standards. I've got some shots I've taken with it (fireworks included), and bunch more firework specific tips on my site...

Hi, Glad that helped... Now to get a good picture, if you have a dim scene, to get a good picture, you'll need to get enough light into the camera to capture it, and keep the camera steady while you do. To get more light into the camera, the two settings I mentioned before, f-stop...

Hi, Sounds like what's happening is that the Auto exposure setting is deciding that to get a good picture you need 1/30 th of a second exposures or longer. In those cases, if you're holding the camera, you'll almost everytime introduce some "shake", causing blurry pictures. I'm...

We were there in the spring, with kids of the same age, for 7 days (6 nights) and covered everything very well. We didn't hit Animal Kingdom this time (were there 2 years previous), or the Water Parks (wasn't quite warm enough for us) and by the end felt we covered everything just to the point...

Hi, I've put a bunch of my photo's (mainly nighttime) up on my Disney Desktop's site at: disney.rocket9.net/ . I had taken a bunch at both WDW and Disneyland, and had been using them for Desktop images, and thought I'd share. They're all up at up to 1920x1200 resolution (which I use)...

I absolutely concur about the mini-tripods. If you can manage that and a timed shutter (so you don't shake it at all), then even better. And remember to go for a multi-second exposure, and close your shutter as much as you can (say to f8.0 or so), or you'll just end up with lots of pictures of...

I've been to WDW lots and lots, and Disneyland three times now. Everytime at Disneyland I get lost, due to knowing my way around WDW so well, and things not being where I expect them to be. Even when I try to consiously remember that I'm at a different park it still happens, along with...

For a bit of an update... you can actually legitimately hold more than one fastpass at a time. If you check the fine print on the passes, it should say "You can get another fastpass at X", where X is either 2 hours in the future, or the time that your return window opens, plus 5 minutes...

We've stayed at All Star Movies a number of times, and would certainly go back (we have 2 younglings). You may wish to request a Toy Story building... they're very close to the central area (but not at a premium charge). As of May 2005 we saw the rooms in Buzz all being renovated (completly...
