Disney Picture of the Day Thread - February 1, 2010

After months of research and hours in the camera stores, I finally decided to go DSLR. I bought the Nikon D5000 with two lens kit. My previous film SLR was a Canon and that was a few years ago. I am having a ton of fun playing with my new toy so far and can't wait to take it to WDW next weekend!

We went with a Nikon D40, so a little big bulkier than your traditional P&S, but every bit as easy to use. We have never regretted its size and it has never been a burden to carry with us at the parks. I get compliments from friends and family about the quality of the pictures we take. It has the great advantage of having very, very minimal shutter delay, so it's great for capturing moments with kids (especially things like the carousel). You also have the luxury of learning about camera settings and using it in a more expert mode. Or not.

Whoa! That's a one in a million shot!

I once stood out in my yard, in the Lightening Capitol of the World, in a major storm, and shot 187 images. One had the afterglow of a strike in the upper left corner...

My DD is a "Storm-chaser Wanna-be" and has tried hundreds of times to capture a lightening strike.... and has never been able to.
