I know a lot of us got Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade photos during Pixelmania (or before). ; Let's post them here for everyone to enjoy.
I saw somebody on the trail from Africa to Asia with a HUGE lens (300mm f/2.8, maybe?)... ; I wonder if he was a Pixelmania goer. ; If so, I'm sure he has some great ones to share! ; My little 14-42mm (28-84mm equiv) kit lens mounted on the (not very good for action shots) Olympus E-P1 didn't cut it. ; I may have gotten one or two usable shots from the entire parade.
That might have been Jason (Zeagle). ; He seemed to have that lens on every time I saw him. ; It's a sweet lens.
Great shots Scott. ; I tried to get a few of the cast members in the parade but they were too blurry when i got them up on the computer screen.
Jeff, I used fill flash for all my parade photos on this trip. ; Really worked out great for candids like these. ; The flash gives enough light to capture the colors and helps to freeze the subject.
That may have been me. I used the 300 f/2.8 for the parade mainly. Here are a couple jpg's, no fill flash needed , and before final post processing. I just started to go through my workflow to adjust levels, colors, sharpening, etc. The images are adjusted for exposure atm.

Re: Pixelmania! - Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade Ph LOL... You would not need a bigger zoom, since it was a prime lens . I was fighting with the focal length during the whole parade and think the ideal range would be between 50-200mm. The 300 is to long when you consider the floats. Scott and you got great shots too! I always love seeing the expressions on the CM's faces.
Re: Pixelmania! - Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade Ph Great shots! The first one is my favorite. I'll bet ya she will give you a run for your money pretty soon.
She seems to have your eye, that's for sure. ; That first one is definitely my fav as well. ; Great work!
I got to Animal Kingdom a few hours before the pre-event meet, so I guess this would be a pre-pre-event meet photo. Erich edit: Hmm, it looks like the forum generated thumb is less saturated than the full size image.

I think this is the same CM as in Jeff's first shot. ; Unfortunately, aperture priority sometimes leaves you with a "perfectly exposed blur." ; So now I call it "art." Click the photo to go to its Flickr page.
