Some more pictures from Dec..a day at MGM (pictures/sound link)

[kimwim8]

I was wondering if I was going to see any more pics from your December trip! Great pics, as always!

I love your perspective in all of them, but especially the one of the Tower of Terror through a Christmas decoration. That one is AWESOME!

Thanks again for sharing! And keep them coming!!

How did you get the colors so saturated? Did you use a polarizing filter?

I just bought a converter and filter for my baby.

I love your viewpoint, Dan. That shot of ToT through the Christmas star is really something....also the ones looking through the leaves. I never seem to "see" shots like that....of course, the world from my vantage point (5') is somewhat different than yours. You'll have to walk through the parks on your knees one day to "see" it the way I do. Dennis and I had a great time looking at the pictures of the lady stuck under the bench and the little girls' solution.....Disney story telling in it's purest form...seen through the eyes of a child.

Dan, I was just showing the kids your photos. As you know, Kirk just got a digital camera for his birthday today and he wanted me to ask you what mega-pixel your camera is. He can adjust his to a 5 mega-pixel and wanted to "compare quality". I can see the two of you now during our next trip........you'll be having "flash-offs".

(see, I said no dialog, but I still get my jabbering in, LOL)

BTW...I happen to always thoroughly enjoy your "jabbering" in between the pictures...makes it seem like I am standing right there with you while you are taking them.

Great as usual Dan...

When did you buy the new Camera?....

I was thinking of getting the S3 IS for a trip to Paris we are planning and I don't want to bring my SLR's...

Sam, I purchased the S2 back in early November, wanted to learn it for a few weeks before WDW. It is a very nice camera, well featured. Still learning it too. The S3 looks like is has some nice additions, 800 ISO, among them. I did read the S3 has a threaded lens also, the S2 does not, no filters. I considered a DSLR, but way too big for me and I like the preview swivel LCD, got use to that idea with my Nikon. Have a great trip to Paris, Sam.

How did you get the colors so saturated? Did you use a polarizing filter?

I just bought a converter and filter for my baby.

FTC, when I post pictures on the board here, I need to resize them and compress them some for easier loading. I most often use Adobe Elements. When do the resizing, I also click the auto color balance and the auto light levels, both which seem to take the ever-present haze out. I can not use any filters on this new camera as it does not have a threaded lens, but rather uses an adapter, way too cumbersome for me. I did use a UV filter on my Nikon, mostly for protection, and sometimes a polarized for water.

Colleen, the camera is a 5 mp, the new S3 is a 6. Too funny, LOL.


Glad you guys like the pictures.

Oh my I loved this, thank you Dan so much !! For everyone still going to the world in December, even if it's next year, or the next...well..I'm bumping!!!

Great pictures, Dan - but how do you manage to get so many great photos without a ton of PEOPLE in them?

I have more "people" in my photos than the object I'm trying to capture!

Thanks Dan for taking the time to share your magical moments with us. Would love to go at Christmas time, only ever been to Disneyland Paris for the holidays.

Thankyou again, you are a true Disney star!

Thanks Dan! As always your picture threads are inspiring! We skipped MGM last time, and I can't wait to go back on our trip this time. It is going to be fantastic!
