Wow Groucho brilliant picture looks amazing mind sharing the settings you used for the pic with us? Just love it

wow Groucho that picture is fantastic, I love how you can pick out the Eiffel Tower in the background.
9 days until I get to see that

This is my new desktop! I love it!!!!!

Groucho Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Nice!!!!

Groucho - Magnificent Illuminations shot!

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you liked it.

Mick00 - the settings are fairly simple. The camera (Pentax K20D) was on a tripod, I was using a remote shutter release, and it was in bulb mode. The lens was my Tamron 28-75mm F2.8, but nearly any wide lens will produce decent results with these settings. The aperture was F9.5, ISO was 200, shutter speed was 3.2 seconds. (Since it's in bulb mode, that means that's how long I held the button down - nearly every shot has a slightly different shutter speed.)

disneyhockeymad - here's a crop of the photo at 100% zoom, so you can see the Eiffel Tower a little better.

For something a bit brighter... since Block Party Bash just got a mention, here's the head Army Men guy.

Thank you.

We were right in front of the castle but just behind Walt and Mickey . We got in and grabbed a prime spot on the bench and got an awesome spot for everything.

Just curious... you were able to sit on the bench and noone "stood in front of you" so that your view was blocked. This has always been my concerned with sitting somewhere to watch Wishes/Spectro.

ginaluvsdisney - That's just too cute!


kima86 - I like your sunny MK pic.


dredick - Nice one of Mater! The rustic framing goes well with Mater's appearance. (And I love all your extra animated smilies. )

I just got back from Disney and I got the best picture of Tink flying over the crowd during Wishes. I have just a basic digital camera and I got really excited when I was sorting through and found this one.

Great picture!!

Yup - Space Mountain, it's a beautiful, peaceful ride through "space"... you should give it a try. Ignore the warnings about heart conditions & glasses
