Tower of Terror (On Ride) Photos

Let's see your best--here's the best I've captured thus far:

Clicking the picture takes you to its Flickr page!

 

Those are great. I never tried myself.

 

Aren't you afraid to have your camera around you neck on that ride?

(Up, Down...rise and repeat)

 

These are some pretty good shots. I myself have had no luck on the TOT

 

Fisheye version-

 

What, no shots out the top? I tried but didn't get any good ones of the corridor.

 

Look for the hidden Mickey!

 

Here are a couple that I managed. These were actually taken in succession in this order on one ride. Ifind the one with the electricity flowing made for a better shot as it gave the sensor a little more light to process the image.

 

All of these shots are inspirational, but not quite enough to get me on this ride!

 

This is my fearless daughters favorite- Here are a few from the ride.

 

Yup, I think youre right. My memory is fading -- time for another trip!

 

Tim, I checked out Jeff's Flicker site. The closeup of the elevator riders had this for the Exif data:

Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 70 mm
Exposure: -0.95
ISO Speed: 8000
Exposure Bias: -1 EV
Aperture-priority mode

What I want to know is if he set the ISO manually or was he using Auto ISO.

 

I'll put a Dole Whip on auto...

 

Thanks Tim. Which shot is the 5th dimension? I have no idea- but all the EXIF is intact if you look at Flickr- OT but it irritates me that both Flickr and Smugmug strip the EXIF data away on resized shots. I do know they were all shot at f2.8- I need to take a fast lens on that ride one of these days.

And Scott- Auto ISO all the way. That is the best thing ever. Not sure on other cameras but with the D300 & D700 you can program in a baseline ISO- along with a minimum shutter speed where it will start raising the ISO- and put a cap on the ISO also since I never let it go to HI2 (25,600) which I think is unusable. At the parks I pretty much shoot in Aperture Priority- change that as needed and never touch another setting. Gone are the days of coming out of POTC and taking the next twenty daylight shots at ISO 1600.

 

Thanks, Jeff! I figured it was Auto ISO. I use it all the time but I can not cap it like you can. However, the D70 only goes to 1600 yet there are times I wish I could cap it at 800. Just another reason to upgrade.
