Shots like this make me really love my camera - almost as much as I love this show! [This attachment has been purged. Older attachments are purged from time to time to conserve disk space. Please feel free to repost your image.]
Not exactly, we chose the spot for the view and the lack of crowds. The stroller was a handy thing to stabilize the camera on, though. Lesson learned, though: watch more carefully what else is in the shot.
All very nice shots! dawholagn - I believe yours is one of the few times I've seen a crowd shot where I actually think the crowd enhances the photo. I usually don't like photos of the castle just because it's so over-photographed - BUT, I gotta say, that photo is gorgeous! The best I've ever seen of the castle and wishes. My opinion of course, but still... very nice. Barrie
Thank you so much Barrie! ;D To be honest, while I was setting up for this shot I was praying to have a lot of kids up on their parent's shoulders for the shot. I think this is a great tradition, especially if they're sporting Mickey ears! I ended up with only one(sans ears); but if you look in the lower left hand corner... there is this guy giving a hand signal. If you're born before the 80's, you might immediatly recognize this ias the "OK' or "Good" hand signal. I spotted this in post and just had to keep it. Thanks again!
oh brother...now we are going to have a 'hidden gestures book' to go along with the hidden mickeys book.....
Yeah, I did notice the OK sign. It's that and the kid on the shoulders that I think really lends a sense of pleasure to the shot. You can't even see the people's faces but you just know they're standing there all slack-jawed!
Hahaha! Dunno if that would fly. Most of the hidden gestures I see nowadays aren't very Disney appropriate!
One holiday Wishes shot, taken from out front of the Crystal Palace. Taken with my Canon20D/17-40mm f4, handheld, ISO 1600.
I wanna play!! I know I can't even get close to most of what has already been posted, but here's a couple of mine. [This attachment has been purged. Older attachments are purged from time to time to conserve disk space. Please feel free to repost your image.]
I'll support that as well. These are very well done! I also really love joedisney's holiday shot. The projections on the castle are great and you captured them very clearly.
Thank you, here's another from the same night, I got pushed by the crowd behind some trees, but I still like the shot. This is the wrapping paper theme.
Kelly, not only is that first photo a neat shot; but it's perfectly framed IMO. You'd think you were the only one in the park!
