Picture of the Day Thread - April 16, 2008 - CLOSED!

Fisheye? Who? Me?

I think all my RnRC exterior shots are fisheyes and all the interiors are rectilinear. That's the downside of a fisheye zoom vs a prime - F3.5 instead of F2.8 (as on yours and on my 16mm fisheye). That RnRC queue is dark! And actually, I think a got a few decent shots of the load zone but none of them are really as good as I'd like. Plus the colors really seem to emphasize image noise more than most places.

One interesting thing... your photo is missing the "No pedestrian traffic" signs, I wonder if they were added recently? Maybe fallout from the incident where the CM was killed on Primeval Whirl by walking into a prohibited area?

That is an interesting observation on the signs- wonder if they showed up in other queues like the one you mentioned.

What ride is this?

This is a neat picture. I certainly love the "scenic" WDW pictures but there's nothing better than people (especially kids) in WDW in my opinion.

I agree- after all they *are* what I bought the camera for in the first place. Thanks Becky.

What a great shot Jeff!! Love it!!!!

Thanks Dave-

Another fishey shot from the RnRC Queue- the worst part of fastpasses is you miss this room.

Great shot. When was this taken? I'm wondering if the netting is still on the castle from the Christmas lights.

It was taken in Oct of 2007. In fact the crane was parked on the backside as the lights were only partially up.

I really want to get one of these in August. Does anyone know how much they are?

Prices vary depending on size, how much work it took to make, etc ... Of course, I just happened to love a dragon that cost about $300 ... (and with a 3-year old "running" the house, I wasn't about to buy it ... )


They had some nice pieces for under $50 - you just have to find one that "calls" to you - and then the $$ don't mean that much (unless we're talking a $300 dragon, that is!! )

Do you (with fastpasses)? I thought both lines merged just before you go into the building, but it's been a little while since I did it non-fastpass, so I could be wrong.

Continuing the RnRR theme, here's a similar ceiling shot, only a bit closer. I think it's actually the same room... though this shot was "only" 31mm, but I may have cropped it a little.

Both awesome photos! You do miss that room with FPs. After you go through the door with the beads, you go in to the area where the CM is on the mic asking everyone to please move forward. The FP line merges there and then you go in to the holding room where the show starts. I love that ride so seeing some of the photos makes me soooooo happy!

A little bit of the Studios today...

Where is this from?

I think you go thru a scaled down version of that room in the Fastpass queue- the one in the *slow* line is much grander.

Great shot!! She looks a lot like Amy Adams

NostalgicDad - Great shot, and WOW, she very much looks like the real deal!

MNWDWMANIAC - Nice fireworks shot, and hello fellow Minnesotan!

Wow Disney did a really good job finding someone who looks a lot like the actress who plays Giselle. Sorry drawing a huge blank, cant think of her name!

This is my very favorite photo -- my girls' very first look at the castle. They usually fight like cats and dogs, but one look at the castle, and Magic! They were sharing the moment.....
