RBennet: Aww, I love Dora, she's such a sweetheart. I'm glad we can help make the magic for you!

Steery: Yep, I know the first two. I work with the girl in the first photo, and Danny in the second photo did his CP at the same time as me but he now works over at Kilimanjaro Safaris! I never really got to know him as my CP was in attractions, but I know him through friends/other photogs. So fun to see photos of people I know on here!

Is that a Mickey Mouse Neoprene Cloth?? Do they sell them at the parks??

are you maybe thinking, microfiber, rather than neoprene

I've had wonderful luck with my photopass pictures and we prebuy the CD every year. I've had more than one Photopass Photographer ask me if I want a picture with my own camera and I decline because I've already bought the CD.

Now, we were in Busch Gardens in April and after their photographer took our picture, I asked for one with my camera and he refused. Apparently, one of their photographers dropped someone's camera and it was now forbidden. Of course, we discussed his DSLR's and how many pictures he takes in a day for a few minutes and he said "just give my your camera, I'll take your picture". They were fun to hang out with too!

Not that one more comment matters but here goes.

Chatting with an original Photopass cast member last month, from what he states, that department is very profitable. Not sure a snap from another camera makes a difference.

More importantly, they are cast members first who place the guest experience ahead of all else.

Lastly, I have much respect for them. Unlike other cast members, they often work in the hot sun without fans or cover for shade.

And besides, if it wasn't for Photopass, many of us would never show up in any vacation pictures

pointandshoot: yes, we're a very profitable department for the resorts and thats all i have to say about that and yes, the long days in the sun (especially at DAK) are really rough - there are very few locations where we have fans/shade and we get quite feisty about it, though our leadership team does everything the can to keep us from being in the sun back to back.

thanks for the compliments!

We have gotten the photo cd every time we have gone to Disney, and have always been happy with the results. Of course we go for 10-14 days at a time and we make sure we get a ton of photos! Some are better than others but there have been very few throwaways.

We found on the cruise that the photographers were a step above what we experienced at the parks, they have a lot more equipment at their disposal, which helps a lot.

But our favourite shots are the candid ones that the PPP take of us at the parks, we love those! Wish they would do that more often!

Can anyone suggest a cover/case for my Nikon D40? I am looking for something that will fit over the camera, but I'll carry it by the strap. I have a camera bag that I like for traveling, but sometimes you just want to get rid of the bulk, KWIM?

Thanks for the help! I leave for DL next week, so if I can get it in a brick & mortar store, even better!

I don't recall a PP photographer taking a picture with my camera. I am sure it's happened but usually there is a character manager there IF I hand my camera over. This may depend largely on whether the guest is fairly certain that they are buying the CD. If this is the case, it is probably not the first thing to jump to mind to pass your camera to them when there is already a photographer taking your picture.

Check OP/Tech they might have something you are looking for.You can go to their website and look to see if any thing jumps out at you.They all so make something called body armor but it's not made by OP/Tech.Google Nikon body armor.If you find it on the web site you can check the local brick and mortar.A hotel shower cap works in a pinch and they are free

I got mine from Lenscoat.

I have one of these.

I also have one of these that I use when not carrying a bag.

One of the reasons we bought the DSLR was knowing that the PP's would take family photos of us. When you go twicw a year do you really need to spend $130 on the PP photos? No, it gets real expensive, we've spent over a grand on Disney photos so far, thats a lot of money for us!

When I see people struggling with getting photos of themselves I always help, tonight we were down in Niagara Falls to watch the fireworks for my DD 6 (OMG I can't beleive time goes so fast!) and I took photos for 3 families. I may not get the best photo for them , but at least they are all in it! lol, maybe I'll give up my business and apply to be a CM!

I also use a Zing neoprene case. It fits tightly around the camera/lense and allows use of the normal neck strap. It's easy to wrap around the camera, easy to get the camera out of, waterproof and lightweight. I definitely recommend it.

thought I'd bump this thread and see if there were anymore suggestions.

I'm presently using the Lowepro FastPack 400 and while I love the bag I've got it loaded with so much gear that by the end of the day it hurts. Not to mention I've recently gotten a herniated disk in my back so the heavy bag is a no go for extended periods.

I'm looking for a small day bag for an E-510 with 11-22 or 14-54 attached and room for the other lens or 2 in the bag. Some memory cards, maybe FL-36 flash some other odds and ends.

Thought maybe a waistpack or small sling/shoulder bag. I've had the Lowepro sling bag in the past and hated it.

 

[photo_chick]

No bag. I have a Crumpler strap and Lenscoat pouch for the camera and keep it on me. I also am the pack mule and have a water proof hip pack to carry the water that also holds a couple of lenses nicely with my extras. I keep a plastic bag in that for when I need to keep my camera dry.
