Traditional "Just Got Back" Report

[boBQuincy]

Just returned from a quick two night trip to WDW, mostly for photography and to enjoy the ambience. In no particular order, here are some photos from the first evening.

I always like seeing Boardwalk from across the water

The lighting was too good to resist, 200mm from Japan

After Illuminations when the crowds have gone

3 seconds, ISO 100, f/16

The view from my balcony at Beach Club Villas

Wonderful! I'm sure you can guess that the shot of the Boardwalk is the one that makes me look forward to our December trip most since we'll be staying there for the first time.

Keep em comin!

This is lovely! It's surreal and almost looks like a painting.

loved them all, especially France. Can you do me a favor and not enter any of them in the contests?

Thank you!

I took three exposures and merged them in Photomatix, then touched up the composite in PS CS4. Some of these work better than others (I still have a lot of learning to do).

Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing them. I'm so jealous of those of you who get to go the World! I haven't been since 2001 and I really miss it!

Bob, these pictures are gorgeous. By any chance, could I have a copy of the France fountain picture to print & hang in my house???? If you don't mind.
