    Jeff has most of the same ideas that I did. ; For a landscape shot, try for a wildlife-filled shot either at Kilimanjaro Safaris or Animal Kingdom Lodge.

    Great ideas. ; Why have we never done any of that round here? ; (I'll take a big chunk o' blame for that).

    And for romance (Feb), catch the Princess float in the afternoon parade. ; At some point they usually stare romantically into the eyes of their Princes...

    For gone but not forgotten, if they still put a rose on Master Gracie's tombstone, you could shoot that. ; I haven't seen a rose there on my last few trips though.

    Hey Tim a monthly topic to shoot would be a great idea help newbies like me develop different styles of pictures

    I've thought of drying a rose for that shot and bringing it along with me, but I usually don't think of it in time.

    An easy topic for May would be Star Wars, Tim.

    If you want to run a contest, some of us could be judges on a rotating schedule. ; Maybe you can get B&H or other sponsors to come up with prizes.
