DCL Picture of the Day - Part 3

[BomaGreg]

This is actually my favorite shot that you took. I think we need to track down the CM and give it to him for his portfolio.

Well... I looked for him, but I couldn't find him. The only thing I can think of is that maybe we should go on another seven day and hand it to him in person.

How long have you been shooting? And did the eye just come naturally? Or do you take a LOT of pictures?

I've been shooting for years, but I've been studying, learning, and intentionally trying to improve for about 2. I think the eye comes with practice. Of course I do take a LOT of pictures too.

I'm with everyone else, btw, love that Lion King/Disney Dreams photo too!

Thanks!!!

I suppose that gives me some hope, then. My wife took most of the pictures until about a year ago when I got the photography bug after getting a nifty little waterproof Olympus. It died shortly after, but the refund money from that snagged me a new SLR, and I'm still enjoying the heck out of it... Even if I STILL haven't figured out how to consistently take good pictures with it.

I guess half the fun is the puzzle aspect to the whole thing and trying to figure out all the intricacies of taking pictures, because for whatever reason I still don't get too frustrated when they don't turn out. I just look at the settings I took the shots with, and try, try again.

-Drool- So... hungry... I don't know what I'm going to do without having someone to bring me food all the time. Well, other than lose weight, but where's the fun in that?

Hmmmm... Keeping with the Disney shows, theme:

Absolutely! I was so intimidated by the settings on my slr, that I stayed in automatic for way too long. There's no reason to spend the money for an slr and then use it like a crazy expensive point and shoot. Learning the "puzzle" of how it all works together, is very fun!

Great Cinderella shot too!

I just love the lighting on these show shots...

I can claim no kudos for the lighting... that's all Disney!

One last show shot, then I'll see about something different...

Awesome! You know, I've been on six Disney cruises, and I STILL haven't seen the Toy Story show. Is it any good?

Thanks!

It was funny, because when I started taking pictures I didn't know anything about the different modes. I just started out in Manual (and manual focus) and just kept wailing on it until pictures started to turn out. How much easier things got for me when I started reading the manual!

The good part was that shooting manual for several months nonstop gave me a much better grasp on how to get tricky shots with priority modes (or manual for that matter), so I have no complaints. Just lots and lots of really, really bad pictures from the first few months.

Hmmmm... The Key to the World cards look like they always have. Assuming that you're looking at the lanyard, I think what you're seeing there is the new passport card, or at least some other form of picture ID.

 

[BomaGreg]

This DOES remind me, though. One of the cool things they do now is that they've made it so you can see all the pictures you've had taken of you throughout the trip simply by going to a kiosk and inserting your Key Card. You can edit them however you want, and have them the next day. Makes fighting in Shutters a thing of the past.
