We were the last ones out of the park. It had been closed for almost 3 hours and I could get a close as I wanted! It was super cool!

Thank you, i.c.

I think it's great that we can all appreciate each other's work, and no one views this as some kind of competition. Keep 'em coming!

I agree Mouskedude, no competing out of me, I just like seeing peoples experiences and I think they've all been wonderful.

Sorry for not posting a picture here, but I do have picture question:

I know I am not going to be the one to take these great night shots, especially the fireworks shots, but can anyone tell me where the best place to send others in my party to get these great firework shots? I would love to come back with some. Heck I would just love to see some in a format where I can see what I have missed!

Well, the key to getting a great fireworks shot is just flat out luck and timing. If you time the burst correctly, or put your camera in burst mode you can easily catch the shell as it goes off. The second thing is to turn the flash off... especially for fireworks and even for the night parade floats. The flash will drown out the colors of the lights. Finally, depending on your camera, you can play around with it. I tend to try out different settings before the fireworks begin. Also, review what you are taking and see where you need to make an adjustment. If it is a point and shoot, it might involve boosting up the ISO. If it is a DSLR, it would be maybe the shutter speed, ISO, you're opening, etc. Best thing I can say is to practice before hand taking night time pictures. Always hold your hand steady and take multiple pictures, you have a better chance of getting one to come out right.

As for the location of getting great shots, I have found that the angle pictures are taken on the Tomorrowland Bridge while the directly in front are taken about 2/3 the way down Main Street... most likely around the Ice Cream place.

I haven't really seen anyone post anything from Adventurland yet other than the nice one of the sign...with the lantern type lighting that could make for some nice night shots. Just about anywhere in Epcot is good for night shots. I found at the magic kingdom, standing in front of the crystal palace gave a nice unobstructed view for taking pictures of the fireworks and taking pictures of the castle lit up.

Hehehe, cool...just shows you not all night photos have to be about lights or reflections.

Here's one from Kali River Rapids:

I love the lights on that one.

Here are two shots of Murphy....Uh I mean Maleficent during Disneyland's Fantasmic. The first one as you probably are looking at now before you read this is of her breathing fire, which is apparently rare due to many issues. The second is more detail of what she looks like after the breathing of the fire.

Those are incredible shots there, Doc!
