  2. Hi everyone!
    I plan on making a special, solo photography trip to WDW from Feb 27th to March 1st. I will definitely be at the MK for the 6 am opening and hopefully, after a noon nap, the 6 am closing!

    Some of you may recognize me from other forums as Marlton Mom. I look forward to participating on this forum and meeting new friends. Here is a link to my Flickr account if you'd like to take a peep at my pixels.

    Welcome joanie. Hope to see you at TMIP24. ;
     
  7. Like Jeff Filmore, I am trying for a sunrise shot of the Castle so that will be my priority first thing on the morning of the ; 29th. Those first hours of light are golden (as well as the last hours) so I'm hoping to concentrate my efforts with my photography during those hours. I also love taking pictures of the facades at night, with Tomorrowland and all it's neon being a favorite hunting ground. Santa Claus just delivered a variable neutral density filter so I can't wait for Wishes to try that out. I had fun this fourth of July photographing my home town fire works with an ancient Tiffen .6 ND but there is nothing like a Disney FW show so I am psyched to work with the Vari ND.

    I'm also renting equipment to complement what lurks in my bag. I've always loved Jeff Filmore's 360 panos of the Disney parks and properties and he's been kind enough to point me in the right directions as far as trying this technique. For this trip I'm renting a Nodal Ninja 5 w/ RD-16 Rotator and a Nikon 10.5mm f/2.8G AF DX ED Fisheye.
    I've never used a fish before so it will be interesting to say the least.

    Usually I go to WDW with my husband and 13 year old son but I've always wanted to do a solo photography trip and the 24 hour park opening proved irresistible. I relish the thought of wandering around with my camera, guilt free, with no one waiting for me!

    So what are anyone else's plans or hope or dreams for this special photographic opportunity?

    ~Joanie

    My Equipment list:Nikon D60 and a D90, Lenses include a 35 mm 1.8, 18-105mm, 18-55 kit lens and a 55-200 kit lens , and the Tokina 11-16 lens, Nikon SB 700 speed light. B&W Circ polarizer and a Singh-Ray Vari ND filter and a Sunpak 6600PG tripod as well as a monster Manfrotto monopod 681b with a 496r2c ball head.

    Welcome aboard Joanie! ; I am not getting more and more jealous of those of you that can be there on the 29th. ; At first I was not impressed with this idea of Disney's, but not thinking of the photographic possabilities, well I am wishing I could be there! ; Here is to looking forward to seeing all of your amazing shots!

    If I can make it back up there, it'll be very last minute.

  12. I'm guessing that a lot of us will be busy taking pictures during the "good light' times of early morning and then at dusk. I also think that people are going to be busy setting up for Fireworks shots, so the evening is going to be a little tough.

    I was thinking that lunch might be good, like upstairs at Columbia Harbor House. If we tried for a time like 11 or 11:30am we would probably beat the lunch rush and we'd have a nice place to sit and eat and chat. Since it would be before noon, I think that would be a down time for a lot of us photographers. The upstairs at CHH is awesome as it has a decent amount of seating and it's not too noisy or chaotic, especially when compared to the downstairs area.

    Since I've not been to one of your meets yet you'll have to let me know if this is a workable idea.

    Anyway that's just my two cents....

    PS. I've signed up for Twitter alerts but since I've not gotten any I'm assuming that you haven't starting sending them out yet... Correct??

  15. I'm new to this site and forum and pretty much an amateur photographer, but I would not mind hanging around with some of you experts hoping for some good karma to rub off on me. ; I am planning a trip to be there on the 29th hoping for some early morning shots as well as some things throughout the rest of the day.

    A link to my Flickr if you want to check out what I have shot so far:

    Hope to meet/see some of you there!

    Welcome to the forums indeed Tim - I wish I could be up there for the Feb 29 myself, but can't make it this round.
     
  20. I am much relieved at this news because all the good shots will be left for me ; ;)
    Seriously though, I'm a bit bummed as it would have been great to meet up with you. I've always admired your skill and artistry with a camera.
