    This was my first attempt at this shot. All comments welcomed.

    Nicely done! I don't think I've ever tried a self portrait on a ride.

    Very nice. ; I've seen that once before, but never thought to try it. ; Result came out pretty decent!

    I tried a passing snapshot of the 'lift' area of Space Mountain from the Peoplemover, but since I only had my kit lens (F3.5) I had to crank to ISO12800 to have any chance:

    Was my first attempt also & I found it a bit challenging. Especially with the blue flashing lights. A bit hard to capture without too much noise. I passed it through Topaz Adjust to regain a bit of the flesh tones as much as possible.

    Nice Justin. I tired that one this trip too, but did not have any luck.

    That shot definitely looks better in the dark. ; I believe they had the lights on at Space Mountain last time I was on the TTA (or I wasnt paying attention and had my flash on).

    I remember seeing that Tom had taken this shot once. Will have to find out what settings he used for his shot.

    He uses that shot as his flickr avatar and I think he uses it as his avatar here on the forums as well.

    You're braver than I am. ; I don't mind all the blue as that is the way it looks. ; Your son is like what the heck Dad! ; :D

    Thanks guys. We discussed it to set up what we would do as soon as the ride vehicle makes that fist little drop into that tunnel. I actually snapped several shots & picked this one out. Some of them did not come out due to the frame being at the point when the lights were flashing off.
