DVC Mike Live from BWV Mar 5-13

[Disney Princess]

We love the Boardwalk in the fresh morning light! Thanks for taking the time to share your vacation with all of us. I hope you are feeling better and will enjoy a relaxing vacation this week!

 

[dvc at last !]

If you click on a photo, it will take you to Flicker. On the right, it will say something like "This photo was taken x hours ago using a Nikon D7000".

If you click on the Nikon D7000 link, you can view the EXIF data, which includes the lens used, aperture, shutter, ISO, etc. Basically, all the settings I used to take the shot.

The ESPN picture was actually a merge of three photos (one underexposed, one exposed "properly", and one over-exposed).

Wow, that shows an amazing amount of info -- very interesting. (Odd, tho, that the copyright says 2010).

Thank you for posting your beautiful photos -- you could definitely produce one of those coffee-table books someone else was asking about in another thread.

Great Photos as usual, you always seem to find a new way to view the same places...wonderful. We are here too again and love to see your photos, these photos seem so sharp and jump off the screen, they are totally amazing!!!!!! Thank you....Carol

Great pictures. Were all of the sunrise pictures taking using a tripod?

Absolutely gorgeous photo of sunrise at ESPN. I know SSR is not your favorite resort, but my extended family will be vacationing at the Treehouses in November with our soon to be first granddaughter. Any chance of you being our personal Photopass photographer? That's how much I love you taking us along on your vacations.

Yeah, another trip report!!! Thanks Mike!

Can I get a photo request from you? Can you take a photo of Spaceship Earth from the World Showcase side. I'll leave all the artistic stuff up to you (location, day or night, etc, it's up to you), just do what you think is cool.

Thank you again Mike for taking to time to thrill all of us. I eagerly look forward to seeing what you decide to do and take pictures of on each of your TR's. This one is especially interesting for me because we will check into BCV March 20th. So, your pic's are even more exciting than usual - and they are always great. Keep them coming!!!

Yea! I've been watching for this new trip report from DVC Mike. Always enjoy the pics. We were just at Beach Club in January so I'm reliving a little!

Hope your vacation is all kinds of wonderful!!

Well, Monday morning was very overcast - just gray sky and no sun. It was a bit cool too, so I had to don a sweatshirt to keep me warm.

We wandered over to Epcot, and since it was overcast, I decided to take pictures of mostly the topiaries. After all, my typical landscape shot would look ugly as heck with this sky.

So, here come many pictures of topiary after topiary. If you’re not into this, you may want to avoid the Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot. Otherwise, you may enjoy seeing these.

On with the topiaries! (what a strange word, by the way)

I guess I need to change that setting (forgot to so far). It's actually set in 3 places - the camera, Nikon Transfer, and Adobe Lightroom.

Yes. It was still too dark to shoot handheld.
