Ditto, I feel the same way! Very nice.

Thank you Elizabethswann, here is one I took right before that one that is primarily of the fountain.

Definitely! Postcard-worthy, for sure! How did you manage to get it with no people in the way?

Thank you for saying so Elizabethswann and Mousekedude. If you look closely Mousekedude there are some people in it. One on the left side of the photo and one towards the center shopping. They came out blurred and somewhat invisible because the camera was taking the picture for longer then they were standing there. I have others that have ghost like people in them for the same reason.

That's what I love about the photos. I like that it's a blur. It gives off an even greatest effect in both photos.

I have always been a huge fan of that effect. I would guess that it was taken with some sort of digital body where you used a slow shutter speed. Keep'em coming!

Yeah, I like that effect too. It is definitely caused by using a slower shutter speed in order to capture more light, but that's what makes it special because it captures the illusion of motion in a still photograph and makes it seem really alive. Of course, it has to be just the right amount, and it has to be only on the ancillary stuff. The main subject has to be sharp and clear. Then it really "pops".
Good stuff!

The picture was a four second exposure at an f-stop of f/4 on a Kodak Z970 digital camera.


I always liked this one for the ghostly people in it. It was taken at Animal Kingdom.
