Challenge???

I don't know if this has been requested before..but...does anyone have any pictures of Tinkerbell flying at night. How can you get a good, non blurry picture of her???

i've seen a couple.. it's certainly not easy.. i suspect best you can do is use a flash and maybe brighten it manually. i even tried staking out a spot right in front of the castle with a zoom and kept my eye on where she comes out. unfortunately the lights dont come on until she's already in motion.

flash won't help that far away, you need a really fast lens and be expecting it

my only intent with the flash would be to speed the shutter. my flash actually would probably make it depending on where i was, but i wouldn't want to kill the ambient light.

so bottom line, i was suggesting it with the intention of not reaching. which is why i said it might have to be manually brightened.

it's perfectly possible to get a decent shot with a P&S, i've seen them. it's just a lot of luck. it might not have been the cleanest shot either.
