First, I'd like to thank the people who responded to my photos with such generous compliments - I sincerely appreciated every one of them - you made me smile often and I am very grateful to my DISboard friends.
Is the tripod one of those gorilla pod thingees?
I was using a traditional style mini tripod which I've had for years, but the gorilla pods are excellent also - like mini-tripods, they are very portable, quick and easy to use, inexpensive and dramatically enhance your results.
In additional to night time shots, tripods are great for:
- any dimly lit situations including dusk and interiors
- any close up photos
- action photos
- any zoom or telephoto photos also benefit greatly from the use of a tripod.
Once you see the results, your tripod will become indispensable - good luck!
A few questions - what were the temps? I know you said it was not crazy, but how were the wait times on the rides?
We are going next October (already made ressies), but thinking about something like this in the future to see WDW all dressed up for Christmas.
October and April happens to be my favorite months to visit due to the short lines, low humidity, little rain and fantastic temperatures in the 80's - you're going to have a terrific time in October.
As far as this past Thanksgiving week, it hit a high of 82 on both Sunday and Monday, 80 on Tuesday and then it rained like crazy most of Wednesday but Thanksgiving was a magnificent, bright sunny day with a high of 72.
As for the lines, it was similar to any busy summer weekend - no better and no worse - just the weather was much more accommodating and comfortable!
Best wishes,
David
The setting looks great and I will definitely put it on my to do list. Thanks!
