Nice! And I know what it is to get a decent shot of that thing!

I am assuming DSLR? What settings? Guessing you had the exposure turned down?

My technique is basically... "Just keep shooting.."
Stats on this picture:
f/5.9
iso 1000
ss 1/250
focal length: 70.0mm
taken with my Canon PS SX230HS... I believe you have one of these too..

Oh wow! Yes I do- and am considering geting another for my second camera! After spending two days and several hours fighting with the white balance in the GF and WL, I have come to the conclusion that not only is the vid rez higher on the 230 v my Lumix FZ35, but overall, the stills are better too! ???!!!

Hi it ia Sarah again. Just got back from visiting my dad and he is doing better. It made him happy about all the things you said but it is going to still be awhile until his meds get him sorted out. Just wanted to let you all know. Going to leave another pic of my dad with my brother.

Thank you for letting us know, and thank you for the cute pic! Wishing your family health (and more Disney fun) very soon.

260, better than the 230, is at Amazon for 199... 230 is more!

Thanks! I hand trace them.

When you have the aperture wide open, the lights just do that. I read once why it does it, but I don't remember it right now. I just remember that I like how it looks so I try for that sparkle look when I get a chance.

Main St. look so short in this pic, doesn't it?

The "starburst effect" is actually caused by light diffraction from a small lens aperture (higher f number). The appearance of the starbursts also depends on the number of blades in your lens aperture.

wdwensel: Fantastic shot BTW!

Huh. Fair enough!

That, I can explain!
