Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Sorry to get off subject guys... back to pictures! One for today from the Tomorrowland Transit Authority:
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread I must be completely insane for posting after that dramatic picture ^^^, Joe, but here goes anyway:
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread WOW Joe. How in the world, pardon the pun, did you shoot that and keep it steady? You are so creative.
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Kiki, I like the shot and especially the use of DOF. Very good.
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Thanks, HD...I almost didn't post anything today after Joe's pic...
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread My first attempt at pano. [This attachment has been purged. Older attachments are purged from time to time to conserve disk space. Please feel free to repost your image.]
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Great Pano shot Doc! I think you did a great job of catching the entire entry hub of the MK! Joe, that shot is brilliant! I love that ride, and that shot is just wonderful. Thanks for posting!
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Thanks! I asked for the front car of the "train". There is a little ledge on the front that is about the perfect size to steady a camera. I just waited for an area of the ride that had lots of neon lights. 11mm ultra wide angle, aperture priority with aperture wide open, ISO200 - resulted in a 2.5 sec exposure.
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Joe, I seriously want to take some photog lessons from you! A-Maz-ING! ...as I've already told Tim, you all are really, really great photographers - but the reason I like it here so much is that you are all so sweet and helpful to boot~
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Neat Joe! I took almost the same picture in August. Here is a 4 second picture of Dina riding the Wedway! The huge shadow is from the on-board flash.

Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread You're sweet, Colleen - thanks for the kind words! I don't know if I'd be any good giving lessons though - I've only really been into photography for 1-1/2 years now (bought my first SLR in Dec '07 - the D40) and I'm learning so much everyday. I guess you could say I'm more of an advanced student than a teacher. I agree though, everyone here has been very helpful - if I ever had any technical questions on anything photography, this is where I'd start for sure!
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Craig, the shot of your wife is really nice! Joe, great shot as usual. If you've gotten this far in a year and a half, you are on track to become a stellar photographer!
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Craig, must like myself, is very fortunate to have a very lovely wife who make a great subject of photography. Dina really compliments Craig. They are fun to hang out with and when Dina is around, it makes it easier for me to take pictures with Craig and Tim because the wives could care equally less about wandering around with tripods and taking pictures...haha
Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread Thanks Ray, We sure are lucky aren't we! Last year at the Epcot meet at mousefest, Dina went shopping around World Showcase while we talked about cameras! But, last month at Food and Wine, she carried the camera most of the day. I'm going to put up a thread of her photos soon. And here she is in tomorrowland. Where else in the world do you see people with big cameras and big mickey ears!? [This attachment has been purged. Older attachments are purged from time to time to conserve disk space.

Re: ColleenMarie's Random POTD Thread I like how you noticed and took a picture of her taking a picture... are those adventureland ears? me likey~ my husband and kids have been very patient with me as well-especially when by the time vacation is over I've taken over 2000 pictures of them and everything around me. They have also learned so much by watching me that they are a little too comfortable taking my camera right off my neck ???
