Get Down; Get Funky! by rickenmartin78, on Flickr

 

Wow, someone took some time at Club 626! ; Nice shot of Stitch Peter.

 

Thanks, John. ; Like the majority of my pictures, the moment came to me.

Space Mountain had shut down during our fastpass time (wife got some iPhone pics of the mountain with the lights ON from the Peoplemover ) ; My daughter was having fun watching herself on the jumbotron when she was ambushed by Stitch and Chip for a little private dance time before the dance party attracted too many people. ; I wasn't even aware of the show they were doing there. ; It reminded me a lot of the sail away party on DCL. ; Great fun.

Storm was rolling in while waiting for a table at the Plaza. ; My daughter wandered to the lower promenade for a closer look at the ducks. ; I accidentally caught her in the frame while shooting the castle. ; A little bit of cropping, desaturation, and blurring gave me this:

Love that shot- and your treatment- was her shirt blue? originally- it wouldnt have been near as effective with a shirt of a different color.... ; Very nice...

 

The shirt color is original (purple). ; I may re-paint it to match the blues in the castle. ; Or perhaps leave it as is to maintain some distinction.

Thanks for the comment!

Celebrate America Fireworks!!!

 

Very cool shot Calidain! ; I was there that night too, off to your left, right in front of Crystal Palace, just getting around to editing the shots.

And thanks Dennis!

 

You weren't the gentleman I spoke with who had the new Nikon D800, the retired NASA Shuttle guy from Cocoa Beach???

I got there pretty late, after 8pm and there were at least 4-5 tripods set-up in front of Crystal Palace including shuttle guy. ; I had to move down and settle for the partially obstructed view, unfortunately, but my 6mo son slowed us down that evening.

 

Nope, that was not me, I am teacher from NJ. ; But there were about 5 of us with tripods there, but not sure if any of them were retired Shuttle guys. ;

I know the whole family and trying to shoot at night thing, fortunately my wife took my daughter (12 years old) and her friend over to Bay Lake Tower to watch from the Top of the World Lounge. ; I had about 4 hours to shoot that night.

I took this back in June and just now got around to processing the photo set. ; That night was my first time photographing the Liberty Belle, I hit the parks that night fully intending to photograph "Wishes" but I left my remote trigger in the car and changed my plans!!!

 

Love the light in that one, Daniel!
