    Just thought I'd post a few snaps from the newly expanded Norway pavilion, and the Frozen additions - since it was my first time seeing it all. Weather was atrocious - hot hot hot hot hot, and humid too - so it wasn't exactly the kind of weather to inspire you to bring the best lenses, tripods, set up for shots for 15 minutes at a time, getting the right angles, waiting for the perfect time of day, etc. More like pass by in the middle of the afternoon, take a quick snap with the kit lens, and get inside to try the ride.

    But I figure some may not have seen it yet, so any shots might be appreciated, even if they're not primo-framable stuff!

    A look at the expanded area between the Stave Church and Mexico, where the meet & greet stuff is held inside (I didn't bother to meet the princesses):

    Some of the wall carvings and details while on line for the ride...you'll get plenty of time to see all of these details - even with the crowds low and the heat horrible, the standby was still 100 minutes...and my fast-pass still took 25!:

    Now for some scenes from the ride:

    Nice job keeping the shutter speed correct so you don't get weird colored faces in the AA's. Have to keep it to 1/60 or less or you're going to get cyan/ magenta/ etc. in the faces. Makes it a bit tougher for sure.

    There is an homage to Maelstrom in the queue line for Anna and Elsa inside of the Royal Summerhaus...

    I don't recall seeing that! I wonder if I was busy looking at something else, or just looked the wrong way - but I missed that. Very cool.

    Did you get in line to have photos with Anna and Elsa? That's where the tapestry hangs.

    Ah - that part. No, I didn't bother with that last trip - I had a fast pass for the ride, and just photographed the outside of the Sommerhaus and the ride and queue. I was probably going to do the Meet & Greet thing in a few weeks just to walk through that area.

    Exposure of 1/60 or less? Any other old farts remember when you had to use that rule? That's right, when taking pictures of your TV, to give it enough time to paint a whole frame on the screen. What's old is new again.

    I have found that 1/40-1/60 seems to work best. BUT- that's gonna be a bear when it comes to taking pics on moving rides.
