Disneyland Picture of the Day #2

I think its because your file is not ending in .jpg.

Try to upload the image again onto photobucket and try again.

Thats not it. Strange thing is my son runs a VBulletin site and my pictures show up fine there. Is it possible I have a setting wrong on here? Am I just crazy.

Great vantage point, being able to get those three DL icons in the same photo. You probably had to make sure you were standing in exactly the right spot to fit them all in. That has to be very precise. It's not like an accidental shot, just walking along and randomly snapping a photo quickly. You have to actually try to frame that very specifically, I assume.

AWESOME! I love your photos but this is one of the best I've seen you post. I love how empty the park is too. Were the CMs chasing you out?

Thank you so much for the help. I think i see what I was doing so here is a test:

Definitely worth the wait! A beautiful castle picture! Thanks for perservering!

Thank you! I saw Danny post a picture JUST LIKE THIS, and I wanted to try for myself. It was funny when I was taking this picture because I was walking backwards with my tripod on Main Street and I bet people thought I was crazy when they were looking at me

Thank you Its my cousin's favorite (TheAXIOM). The CMs were not bothering me at all on Main Street. On that same night, they were politely guiding us from Adventureland and New Orleans Square to Main Street. They were very nice about it !

Well, if anyone DID think you were crazy for walking backwards on Main Street then they don't understand what it takes to get great picture! That's why so many professional photographers have to get up in the middle of the night, or can only shoot models when the light is just right outside, or have to climb up rocks so they get exactly the right vantage point, wait for an ocean wave to roll in that's a little higher than the last one - all for the sake of getting a perfect picture!

I am still trying to figure out how to draw my name onto my pictures (Jasmine, don't know if you saw but I posted more Bret stuff on my TR thread last week, and someone from DIS suggested that I 'protect' those pictures in some sort of way, which I may do). I have to rely on Photobucket for my photo editing at the moment, and I know how to use the draw feature to scribble on my initials or my name, but the lines are so jagged they look like they were scribbled by a 3-year-old!! I don't know if there is a way to smooth them out on Photobucket or if I just have to deal with pre-school penmanship!! Or maybe it is just my shaky hand!!

You know, I'm fortunate enough to have parents who buy everything I need for graphic design. I have a graphics tablet (which works like a mouse, except you use a pen). I used it in Adobe Illustrator and drew my name out. It smooths out the strokes on the program!

Yeah, I saw this and thought, wait a minute.....I don't recall posting that one today!

I don't sign any of my pictures because, well, I guess I just don't see the need to do so. I share them for people to enjoy. If someone likes it enough to save it, what a compliment! However, I know it has become the thing to do as it is showing up in a lot of places now. And yes, they are artwork, so I get that part.

If you want to create a signature without PhotoShop, I have two suggestions:

1. Sign your name on a piece of white paper with a black medium-thick felt-tip Sharpie. Scan it. Crop. Voila!

2. Sign your name on a piece of white paper with a black medium-thick felt-tip Sharpie. Place it on a low height table. Take a digital photo of it using a flash. Upload it. Crop. Voila!

Yeah, it's not a really big deal to me to go all out to protect pictures - or I just wouldn't post any photos at all anywhere, if I were that concerned about it. I don't have super-nifty pictures like Jasmine's and Danny's, etc. do, so it's not too big of an issue. But it got me thinking the other day, when someone made the suggestion to me, how in the heck can I get the signature on this photo (If I ever want to) without looking like a 3-year-old signed it? I could do the crop methods you explained, and somehow try to overlay them onto the photo! I will try experimenting with that later! Thanks for the suggestion, Disney Dreams!

Once you get it scanned in, you will need to remove the white background. Without some form of photo editing software, that's the tricky part. If you can get that far - let me know. I can tweak it for you a bit in PhotoShop if you want.

Here is one of my favorite shots that I took from my April 13th, 2008 trip. The temp was 105 degrees during the daytime. My next trip will be May 10th, 2009 as I fly from my hometown of Worcester, Ma to Los Angeles in May for a special Mothers day.

The special occasion is that it will be the first Mothers Day where my mom has all of her three sons together since We were very little. That is over 30 years.

I haven't posted this one in quite a while.......

The best place on earth Agree? Castles are more appreciated in evening because of the lights.

Now we are planning for our next trip. I can't wait.

Okay! Thanks! I will poke around later and see what disastrous attempt at a signature I can make and how far I can get with the editing/photo overlaying process, and if I need your help and tweaking skills, I will send you an SOS!! Thanks again!

Thanks, Danny! Only trouble is - I don't have Photoshop!!! And I wouldn't dare try loading it on to my current decrepit computer or it would crash the whole thing. But when I finally get a new computer, I want to get Photoshop because I do enjoy playing around with pictures and editing them quite a bit (not that mine would ever look as good as yours, Jasmine's, Eym's, etc., etc.). So if I can't find this tutorial link that you posted when I get a new PC and get Photoshop loaded on, then I may return here and ask for it again!! But thanks again!!! Anything that has worked for you and your photographic endeavors has GOT to be priceless!
