Thanks declansdad for your compliment on my FotLK shot!

Friday PotD, taken on a very muggy night last month after our Boma dinner (mmmm Zebra Domes!!!). I didn't have time to wait for my lens to warm up to stop fogging so I was wiping and shooting, wiping and shooting. Still got some fog flare but I think it looks kinda cool other than the condensation covered windows...

Khokhonutt - back!


Merryweather and TheDisneyBunch - Excellent Everest pics!


CU82 - to the POTD!


tx2tn - Spooky shot of those ghosts!


matthew_hull - Wonderful Tree of Life shot! I like how you can see the sun creeping up on the carving.


hjdo411 - I like your pic of the Disney transportation, especially how you got both the monorial and a bus in the same shot. Very nice!

oh my goodness! where is this? i love Peter Pan, and i feel like Disney doesn't utilize him enough. they focus too much on Tink.

If you'd like to meet Peter, he has meet & greets near Pirates of the Caribbean.


Code - Amazing! That pic makes me feel like I'm right there in the picture. Where is it?

Have a magical weekend, everyone!

 

[Merrywheather]

This shot is amazing. I love it!

I too had hoped to take night pictures at AK, until my DH informed me he lost my tripod on Dinosaur!!! UGH! Men!

Thank you How in the world did he lose your tripod on that ride? Was he fighting the dinosaurs? I hope it was a mini-tripod!

Merryweather, that is an AMAZING shot!!! Please share your secrets!! I finally got the digital SLR I've wanted, and now I desperately want to learn how to do what you did on that photo!!!!

Thank you, and congratulations on your new DSLR!! . To answer your question, the first thing you need is a tripod or a stable surface to place your camera on because you need a longer shutter speed when it is darker. I also used a remote shutter release (mine is just the simple cable kind - not the fancy remote-contolled thingys that some people have). This helps to prevent any camera shaking/blurring from pressing the button. My settings for this shot were aperture f/4, ISO 1600, shutter speed 1 sec, taken at 27mm. I also took some shots about 5 minutes later when it was slightly darker, and those settings were f/10, ISO 800, 8 sec, 32mm. I hope this helps. Usually it is just trial and error for me - thank goodness for LCD screens and the delete button !

Merryweather and TheDisneyBunch - Excellent Everest pics!

Thanks WeatherbySwann .
