It was woefully miserably hot and humid, so I wasn't quite inspired to take as many photos as I might have in a cooler season, but the parks were not crowded at all, so that helped. I didn't use tripod at all the whole trip - that was the heat's fault, as walking around with a full bag and tripod just didn't seem very desirable...so I usually just traveled with my camera and mounted lens and one extra lens.
I hear you about hot, we just got back last night and it was a challenge carrying much gear around in that weather.
Great shot, Tom! I thought you guys left for another trip to the World yesterday? Did I read your flickr post wrong?
Here's my contribution (not the Tokina, but the Canon 17-40) that I've posted on a couple of other threads.
Great shots, Justin! We were there last week and I felt the exact same way about the heat... it just killed my photography mojo. I didn't take but a handful of tripod shots around our resort because I didn't feel like lugging it around, even leaving it in a locker to go back and retrieve later while we were in the parks.
Tom,
That shot is awesome! Did you do some hdr work on it to get that type of coloring of the palm tree?
Dave
Thanks jfinke.......
Can't wait to try mine out next week !!!
Does anyone think it will work well on fireworks...up closer to the castle??
Don't you steal my idea now!!! I honestly was thinking the same thing, that I would shoot HalloWishes standing behind Walt facing the castle and using the Tokina. I guess we'll find out!
