I think its easily the best live show at WDW. What say you?

Definately the best show - I love it. But it's so hard for me to photograph! The darkness and movement are a challenge but the absolute worst thing was all the people in front of me holding their point & shoots up in the air to take photos. I swear, there had to be a hundred cameras floating in the air right in front of me. Forget taking any good photos, I couldn't even see the show. What a drag! Barrie

I agree with Barrie, I have a hard time here too. I can get the exposure correct but my white balance is always wacky here (My cameras biggest flaw ::)). Next time I got to the show I will shot in RAW, maybe I can correct the color better then.

Which camera do you use, Joe? This photo, and all my Disney photos, was shot in JPG. Usually, I use auto WB.

Canon 20d, I always shot use to shot jpeg, this is the best I could do this past may, The image was way too yellow, I tried my best to get it back to somewhat normal colors.

You keep saying that lens, you know I had one a few years back and never took it to Disney, mine was shot with the 50mm 1.8, large aperture and sharp, but not versatile at all.
 
that lens was my main lens for about 2 years, but recently i sold it to make way for the 24-105L. still, the lens is quite a value at $~400. almost everything in my galleries was shot with that lens.

i'm thinking of trying to sit in the top row and give it a shot with the 10-22, i think the reason i've never been happy with my shots in there is i've always used 28-75 and have zoomed in too tight, anyway worth a try

they are pretty strict with where they seat you, but good luck. i bet that would be a pretty neat photo.

well i got near the top, but nothing real good came of it, the wide angle was interesting but too slow to be real good, but i'll keep on at it, one of these days i'll get one worthy of printing, until then here's my meager offerings from mousefest

Sometimes, I think the colours, albeit that they are distorted, add to the atmosphere!

I agree with you guys- between the lighting and the fast movement this is a very difficult show to shoot. Here is my frustrating try at it.
