Disney Picture of the day

[Disneygrl36]

In honor of the 50th celebration taking place at Disneyland I thought I would post some Disneyland pictures over the next few days.....I have only gotten to go to Disneyland once & I know I was always wondering what it looked like & how it compared to WDW which I have visited numerous times. I can't wait to go back some day soon.

Everyone on this site takes such wonderful pictures! I'm jealous! I just returned from WDW last week & the pics I took turned out horrible. I only have a 35mm zoom camera. I really want to get a new good, but inexpensive camera. Any suggestions?

Go with a digital camera. The prices can range from 100 - on up. It just depends on what your looking for...

Another Disneyland picture. This is New Orleans Square--oh makes me think of all the people in LA affected by the hurricane.

I would recommend a digital as well.
You can get some decently priced Kodak Easyshare cameras around $150 and up. The sony cybershots are also pretty nice and you can probably find those in the $200-300 range. If you decide to go with digital, don't get over 5.0 megapixels (3.1-3.2 would be fine but I wouldn't get any less than that). Also look for "optical zoom", for general use 3x or so would be pretty good.

When I'm at work it isn't bad, I have dual 19" LCD monitors, so I can stretch it out over both and see the whole picture. However... at home I put my huge 19" CRT monitor in the attic and have started using a 15" LCD (I don't use my computer at home as much) and I have to scroll over a lot to see the whole picture (so the pic loses it's effect). I like to see the whole pic on 1 screen.

purplern, your pics are 1600 x 1200 pixels, if you could reduce them down to around 550 x 410 pixels it would be GREAT.
I'm not sure how you are editing those, but if you shrink them down and they appear to be too small, make sure you check your "View" settings and that you are looking at the 100% view. Sometimes when you open a big picture in a photo editor it shows it at 50% view and when you edit the image size down it is still in the 50% view so it can be really misleading. BTW, thanks for posting all those photos. I enjoy checking these out throughout the day. Keep 'em comin!

Here's that same AK photo at 544 x 408 pixels:

If you are looking for just a pretty basic editor, the Microsoft Photo Editor is fine and pretty easy for resizing, cropping, rotating, etc. If you want to do some more creative things with the pics, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks are pretty nice. there are a ton of them out there.
