Pixelmania - Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Thread

another shot from the flagpole island, again iso 100, f8, 30 seconds, 70-200 at 70mm, with the singh-ray vari-n-duo, dialed to the max

 

Nice shot Gary! ; Was that the finale?

 

thanks, i think it was, i know it was one of my last shots, you do not get too many to a show at 30seconds per, and i culled on the plane ride home, so i may have had a blown out finale, which i would have trashed

 

Great shot Gary. I really like the speckled sky.

 

thanks mike, and of course who could overlook the happy couple

 

I was very disappointed with the number of keepers i got from the parade, but here's a few. Click the links for larger versions.

Nice shots, I did not get too many keepers that night either. ; I was not in a great place being on the hub, with people in front of me. ; I also chose to not try taking pictures of Holiday Wishes, but just enjoyed them with the camera in the bag. ; [attachimg=1]This is the one that I like best of mine.

 

It looks like everyone went a lot wider than I did for the fireworks. Click for bigger pics.

I can't decide if I like this one or not, since the bursts have such a strange texture. It sort of looks like they were burning in a pulsing pattern.

funny you should mention that, widest i had this year was 35mm prime, i deliberately left home my 24-105mm, i know, it's the cannon walk around for so many of us, but looking over the 15,000+ shots i took in calendar 2009, and almost as many in 2010 i realized about 80% were with that one lens, i just wanted to try an exercise in forcing myself out of the comfort zone, well it does make a difference, there's a reason that lens is the range it is, it really is the everyman solution most of the time. and i certainly won't do disney again without it, i needed that 24 end a few times, and at all the fireworks shows, i cut the tops off a few bursts simply from not being wide enough. although i personally wish canon had made this lens 24-135/150 , that would have been perfect walkaround

 

Those ones with a "pulse pattern" is how you'd see it if your eyes could etch in an exposure over time. Otherwise, it's called "strobe". ; : ; Funny how the camera sees things different than your brain.

 

I set up in front of the water to capture the reflections. ; My little Olympus point and shoot ; C-60 does not have a wide enough lens to get all that I wanted.

 

I then adjusted to get just the fireworks, unfortunately, without the reflections.

 

Here's a couple more fireworks shots from the party:









And a couple from the Castle stage show:

 

Awesome! ; Love the 3rd fireworks shot!

 

Great shots everyone, got to love all the fireworks . Did not take many pics at the party this year and just only recently processed a few.
