I just had to post the Peter Pan shot because when I was going through my photos(little by little) and I remember Giana'sPapa talking about conquering the Peter Pan ride. I have to agree, this shot was WAY harder than I would have thought to get. I went onto the ride with a manual focus lens knowing that my camera wouldn't be able to AF on the dark rides especially with the speed of PP.

Thanks Terry for putting the idea of tackling a PP shot on the boards. I think out of about 20 shots I came away with 2 OK shots. I wish I could have shot this at a lower ISO because the 24mp Nex 7 isn't the greatest at 6400 and higher.

Thanks Harry, but you made the shot! That is one to be proud of. I tell this to people all the time that I'm proudest of shots that may not artistically look good but those that are the hardest to make.
