This might be doing the trick!

Are they going to the parks tomorrow?

Weekdays aren't too, too bad...but it's Spring Break season so who knows.

That is awesome that the CM's did that for your parents, what a great surprise! I hope you get a purse, I am NOT a purse person at all, but those are really cute.

Girl... Look at all those tickers!!! Maybe I should add a Vegas one on mine... Then I would be only 1 down on you...

I am not a girly purse girl at all, but I fell in love with these purses... That is another thing my Dad loves to do, is buy me something he knows I can't justify the cost of myself... He says it's more special from him anyways!! I agree!

Yes, they are doing the parks tomorrow... They were only going to do tomorrow, but they got there at 12:30 today so I talked them into adding a day to their passes so they hit Magic Kingdom this afternoon...

I am hoping that the crowds won't be brutal tomorrow for them... I told them they had to wear their Happy Anniversary buttons tomorrow... My Dad grunted, but he is going to do it...

I did like the wristlet they had though . Those purses are so adorable! I went on a ticker frenzy didn't I?

We go back to Springfield some time in April they aren't sure of the date, then back in May. I am going to go insane with all these places we have to go.

What are your dates for December?? Our tickers seem so off... I probably messed mine up and have longer to wait... That would so be just like me!!!

The wristlet is really cute!!!

The pics he sent me are of the Black Wonder design, so I still need to sweet talk the hubby into the sketch pattern...

The ticker program Scott bought for Enchanted counts differently for some reason. I know it looks odd but the days add up the same. It drove me crazy at first, but there is no way to get it to add differently.

As some of you know, I am getting into the wonderful hobby of photography... I have a nice camera, and am just trying to learn how to use it... I have posted many of my pictures on my last TR, and gotten good reviews from all of you... I really appreciate the kind words... Lets hope it continues with this post

I started to venture out tonight on the web and found what they call HDR, or High Dynamic Range imagery. It involves using some photoshop programs to increase the vibrancy of the colors and contrast to really bring out the dimensions and shadows... It woon't work in every photograph, but I think it works well for some Disney ones... It almost brings a cartoon look to them depending on how much you tweek them...

I started playing around with my Photoshop programs and looking at some extra features I have never messed with before.. I came out with, in my opinion, some pretty cool looking photos... I wanted to post some here for you all to see and let me know what you think... I just starting using these features tonight so I haven't had much practice, so these are not as good as I can probably get them, but they are a start... I really have no idea even how to use these features, I just played around with the dials... One thing to keep in mind is I took all these with my camera... It is hard for me to realize these are all real photos, just tweaked in my computer... A few look like they are paintings, especially the last photo of the Poly... It is one of my favorites... I told Toni it almost looks like something I would see in a catelog... What do you all think?

Oh I gotcha... These ones seem to count down kinda funny too... I've seen some say something like 2 months, 3 weeks and 8 days... Now shouldn't that be 2 months, 4 weeks and 1 day??

Terry, I am completely blown away. Those pictures are fantastic, I can't imagine how they will look after you play around with the programs more since those are amazing. I am totally in love with the Epcot one with Spaceship Earth and the fountain and the one with the hat at DHS. The last one of the Poly is breathtaking.

Only problem, now Bill wants us to buy a camera like yours and to find out how you do what you did tonight. Thanks a lot .

HOLY COW!!! Thank you so much... I really appreciate what you said... Once I figure this out, I can gladly show Bill how to do it... I have the program loaded on my laptop... We can have photo class in the hotel room ... I will try to tweak a few more soon and see if i can improve...

Those pictures are pro quality for sure. Does it sound weird to say this? The pictures are so sharp, clear, it actually hurts my eyes a little bit.

Thanks man.... Those photos are hard to describe... I love the way it brings the clouds out... Really makes the photo something unique...

Which photo program do you use? I would frame that Epcot one and hang it in our apartment I love it so much.

I use Photoshop CS3... It retails for between $300-$400 depending on where you get it... It is a very good, all around program to do anything from minor photo editing to major photo overhauls... I would be glad to show yout he program when we meet up in December...

 

[jordanyosh]

my fave is the one of the Japanese Torii facing SSE...sooo cool.

I forgot to tell you that if you were serious about the photo, I will get a print of it if you want, and I can send it to you if you PM your address... What size you want, 5X7? 8X10? I will work on a few of the Epcot ball photos i have and let you pick your favorite...

 

[All7OfUs]

Very, very cool!! I could see myself doing that someday! Here, here. What program are you using?

I love that one too... This HDR really brought the depth out... I am going to work on getting more pics like this in December... Epcot is an absolutely amazing place to have a camera and some time...

Can't wait for more pix. I think you should re-post some from your last trip!!!

 

[oregondaddyof2]

Maybe I will do that tomorrow... I am going to be off to bed soon... I am exhausted from work today and have to get up at 5am...
