WDW Water!!!

[madonna31]

63 days 10 hours and 8 minutes - but whose counting?

Another first for me -- I'd never seen Cindy standing on the balcony of her castle facing her carousel waving and chatting to people.

 

[wdwoldtimer]

You sure that's not you AP. Kinda looks like you.

 

[madonna31]

nah - AP is prettier!

 

[mrsapalm]

Awwww - I'm blushing! The Main Street picture was taken from the RR terrace overlooking that area.

This was taken in the queue about 7 feet away from the actual window.

 

[wdwoldtimer]

Ahh that means you were just about to hear "hang on to them hats and glasses, cuz this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!"

Did you chuck some pennies into the water and make a wish here?

 

[madonna31]

hey AP - GREAT pics, do you have any of Splash Mountain?

 

[wdwoldtimer]

be patient!! be patient!!!

The artiste will show us in due time. Don't rush her.

 

[mrsapalm]

Of course I made a wish upon a star... (hey, the sun is a star)

 

[madonna31]

nice, clear shots AP - what kinda camera did you use?

 

[wdwoldtimer]

GASP! An EMPTY log?? That's sacreligious!

 

[mrsapalm]

That was scary -- I posted that pic before I read your post, Madonna. I guess that's the natural mental progression of attractions in MK.
I have a Fuji FinePix 2650 - definitely not top-of-the-line... 2.0 megapixel and 3x digital zoom, but somehow I look like I know what I'm doing, so it was worth it. (Thanks OT - see your nagging did some good).

Now this one has a story - I have 7 or 8 shots set up just like this. I stood there for fifteen minutes listening and counting down so I could get a rhythm for how the cars approach and how many seconds I have between pressing down the shutter and the image actually being captured. The cars are traveling at top speed at this point.

It was dusk right about then, and a huge monsoon was about 20 minutes away from blowing in.

lol - AP great minds think alike!!!

COOL shot of Test Track!!!

 

[wdwoldtimer]

ROFLMAO!! I can imagine you standing there, timing the frequency of the cars....counting..then snapping.

I surprised the CM's didn't call security....mysterious woman monitoring Test Track operation.

Cool pic!! You're too much!!

 

[mrsapalm]

I got this one on the fly -- a CM was spraying precious water to either clean the snow area or create more icy-slick snow.

 

[wdwoldtimer]

Ahhh the best water on the planet....Ics Station Cool run-off. I'm surprised they let you take this. It's a very protected water source.

 

[madonna31]

Is that person real or an AA?

 

[wdwoldtimer]

I know one way you can find out. Walk up to him, reach out and grab his....ahh...nevermind.

 

[mrsapalm]

The Matsuriza Drummers - they always look like they're having a blast.

That was absolutely a real person in Ice Station Cool. She had to stop spraying for me to walk past, and I went down the hall, turned quickly, took the shot, and kept moving.

It looks to me like YOU were having a blast.
