Disney In The Dark - Photo Tribute to Disney Magic at Night

It's a Sony Cybershot DSC-V1. Believe it or not, it's about five years old, and only a 5-megapixel camera. But I really believe it is one of the best Sony has produced, even though there have been "fancier" cameras since then.

Actually, I do believe it. I have a camera about the same age/megapixels. I love that camera! And the pics aren't too bad either...but we also have a small Nikon camera that's 8 MP...however, there's only 3x optical zoom on it. My camera has 12x optical zoom.

By the way, imaginationcelebration, your pictures are great too. It's hard to get such crystal clear focus in low light conditions, and you did great. Did you use a tripod?

Where are my manners???

Yes, imaginationcelebration...your pictures are great too!

Sorry, I was captivated by the pic of all h**l breaking loose because I've been trying to get a pic like that for a long time now and mine just don't seem to come out like that!

I have no new photos from the nighttime (I didn't get to stay very long when I was there on Christmas Eve) but there will be some next time around!

Awesome pics. M-dude and Imagination!!! Just beautiful!

I tried really hard this time to get some good shots of the fireworks with my new camera, but I didn't do a very good job. I just couldn't get the timing down of when to snap the picture.

Imaginationcelebration, the EPCOT photos are great! I can't imagine what time you took - there's very little people around! It's almost spooky seeing the world showcase that desserted! However, it makes for some wonderful night scenery shots!

Thank you for saying so Mousekedude and all. Believe it or not all the night photos were without a tripod. I accidently left it in NY. I haven't posted anywhere near all of them yet, but some of them were free hand (fireworks ones) others were on something but needed to be held steady, and for the rest I put it on a garbage can or something stable where I didn't need to steady it. Many of the photos were multiple minute exposures. I used a Kodak Easyshare Z760 6.1 megapixel camera. It has some of the best manual features of my digital cameras and takes the best pictures out of all of them which includes my new Kodak HD camera, which just died after only 5 months of use.

This one was a nice short 6 second exposure, but I had to hand steady it on the log railing:

Love the pictures everyone, however someone will soon be telling you about size I am sure.

I think the rule is if you have to scroll right or up and down to see the whole picture it is too big.

I didn't know there was a rule, makes sense to have one, but it would have to be more specific than that. Having to scroll would depend on the resolution of your screen. Lower the resolution the more likely you would have to scroll. For me, all of the photos in this thread fit on the screen...no scrolling needed. If anyone knows of this rule off hand please let me know.

imaginationcelebration, what a fabulous photo! Absolutely beautiful! Just the kind of pic I would attempt to take, but I guarantee it wouldn't come out as well.

Thank you for the compliments

I'm glad you've enjoyed them. I know I've thoroughly enjoyed everyone's I've seen and can't wait to see more. Here is one from Epcot:

Nice shot of the fountain at Epcot, I.C. I'm a little jealous because I have one just like it that I was going to post, but you beat me to it!

So instead, here's a few nice shots with the Castle in them:

This one was taken from the balcony at California Grill (on top of The Contemporary):

I like this one because it was actually almost pitch-dark when I took it, but with the right settings on my camera I was able to pick up all the ambient lighting, which made it look almost like a daylight shot. Way cool:

One of my favorites of the "ice lights":

And I like this one because of the fireworks:
