DAP - Through my lens

[kcb1dizbksfan]

I was glad I was able to attend the DAP2 event last Saturday nite.
I attended the event in 2009 at the Hollywood studios . . . and while I am
not a Harry Potter fan, I enjoyed getting acquainted with a few of the Podcast team members, meeting a few Dis'ers and meeting the formidable challenge of trying to capture some decent photographic images, given the environmental lighting challenges.

I am a big proponent of shooting under existing light and illumination, but I had to make the exception on some shots, because even at an ISO of 2000 and my aperture wide open and shutter speed at 1/60, using a 580 Speedlight and a light diffuser, the minimal environmental lighting and the overpowering darkness of nite will always win out, unless your willing to take the risk of shooting at a higher ISO setting and introducing noise into your photo, which I am not willing to do.

I did make the smart move of lugging my tripod with me, but after a while it becomes a albatross around your neck and the tradeoff being I could not participate on any of the thrill rides . . . but I was on a photographic mission : - )

Here we go . . . enjoy!

The Podcast mentioned about an effort to collect photos for a storybook being assembled for auction/donation to GKTW ... I certainly would be willing to donate the original JPG and/or RAW file formats for inclusion within this compilation ... Just PM me if your interested in the images and I can either burn a DVD or virtually Drop-Box the images.

Oh my goodness - these are amazing. Think I won't try to compete with those!

The second sticky at the time of the board has the info about sending these in for the collection to be used for the fundraiser.

Congratulations on getting such great shots! It really was sooooo dark, and even though I was there I felt like I couldn't see anything, esp the castle. Only my indoor shots of the shops turned out. I had hoped the full moon would assist but it was just too cloudy. Thanks for showing me what I missed, LOL.

It has been several days since my PM post and I have not received an email for whom to make my photos available ... I guess I will just have to keep them to myself.
