^ That is a great photo. I've rarely seen a photo of the Partners statue from that angle.

From the side view, I think Walt looks a little like Stalin.

This is from DCA, but I don't know what it is called or even if it a wolf or a bear.

DCA is all about California's history & the "Grizzly Bear" is our state animal symbol...

Apparently I took several pictures at the Storybook Canal, so here's another...

Your pictures are INCREDIBLE...... I tried to pick one that was my favorite but I can't.

I started looking at "DisneyLand Picture of the Day" pictures today just trying to remember what it looked like, (The last time I was in DL was in 1968, I was 5) and of course I don't remember but everyone of your pictures were wonderful. I just love them.

Thank you everyone for posting such great shots.... I can't wait until I can figure out when I can adventure to DL, were going to WDW in September..

TexasBelle.......I very much appreciate your kind comments. Hopefully you can get to DL soon enough, though. We are finally planning our next trip and it appears it will be this summer. Living in Texas, we never know exactly when, or if, we'll get to go back. That certainly makes every trip a special one. Hope you have a great trip to WDW. Thanks again and nice to hear from a fellow Texan!

NostalgicDad, you pictures are great. I am new to this thread and was curious to know what kind of camera you have? I have recently purchased my first DSLR and will be going to DL in a couple of weeks. I am still getting settled in with the camera and wonder if you have any tips. I am particularly impressed with your nighttime shots. As a newbie, what kind of settings would I be looking at for shots like those? Any info you have to share is much appreciated...

Thanks a bunch. I use a Nikon D80 for most of my shots but I am looking at getting the D300 soon. For my night shots at DL, most of the ones you've seen are using a tripod. Some of the exposures (shutter speed) are up to 20+ seconds long. It depends on what it is you're exactly shooting but you will need some sort of stability if you don't have a tripod with you. A railing or top of a trashcan will help a lot. I usually shoot in full manual mode at night but you might want to try using Aperture priority mode so the camera will chose the shutter speed. If you have a stable surface, set it to somewhere between f/5.6 and f/11. I also set the ISO to the lowest setting possible in these situations. This will allow less noise. If you will be hand-holding the camera, set the aperture to your lowest setting and increase your ISO to 800-1600 or higher if your camera allows. It will be a more grainy picture but will increase your shutter speed enough to hopefully eliminate camera shake. Again, it all depends on how much light and what it is you're shooting. Just work with it and practice as much as possible.

I hope this helps some and thanks again for the nice comment. Hope you have a great trip and I can't wait to see your pictures!
