No filters. Some were long exposures but that's about it.

The great thing about digital cameras is the ability for virtually unlimited experimentation - all it costs is some patience and a camera that permits lots of adjustments. I probably speak for everyone who has posted here that for every cool shot there were dozens of crappy ones.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

I came across this pic of SB castle we took in July. It was at dusk, so not quite nighttime, but I like the way it came out.

Quite true! But in the old days those crappy photos used up 35mm film, whereas nowadays you just delete all those crappy photos off the digital card. The digital age has made experimentation much cheaper!

But sometimes you need to take a breather from delete-delete-delete pictures. As I have mentioned elsewhere on the boards, one of my most favorite Disney pictures was a "mistake" photo where someone wandered into my frame. If I had taken it now, I would have deleted it immediately, but since I took is during the "good ole days" it was preserved on film :mrgreen:

Actually, I wait to get home and look at all the photos on my computer/laptop and then delete it that way. It takes too long to delete them using the camera.

I finally took some photos last night (Saturday) when I met up with a few of the gang from here. I mostly got photos of ElecTRONica but I'll show a few here. And it was a LOT of fun.

Cool photos, ms.swann!!! Black-light costumes remind me so much of Fantillusion. Tron is not even in theatres yet, but Disney has already started the hype machine. Hope this film isn't a dud!

Wow those are really nice photos everyone.

Dr. Ravencroft I love the fairy photo...well done! I really like the old time feel you put on the black and white one too. Very impressive once again.

Horizons..I can never get tired of nighttime Epcot photos...great pictures.

Leota...close enough to night time for me.

Elizabeth Swann...very cool photos...especially the one with the cast member and the laser, I love seeing your your California photos.

Mousekedude...yes, Itoo wonder what you were trying to blow up in that photo...seriously, nice shots.

MmeLeota - Nice shot of SB castle! Did you happen to find any other shots from your July trip??? *hint, hint*

Me too. I always leave them on the camera until I can see them full screen on my monitor. Some that looked good tiny didn't look so great and others I thought I would delete turned out to be keepers, like the Tree of Life at Night pic I posted. I thought I would delete that when I looked at it through the camera screen.
