Wow, looks like fun. Nice scenic photos!!

Yeah, and I agree, not a fan of the BFH, but it does make for some great night shots, and they're easy to get once the park clears.

One time I decided to take the Friendship Boat from the Studios all the way to EPCOT. It was really pretty, but what an ordeal. We were all squished by the time we docked.

Spaulo, I know you have the xti but what lens are you using?

Post by **spaulo** » Feb Fri 22, 2008 2:30 pm

To answer a few questions:

- The buildings covered completely in lights are at the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney Studios

- My camera is a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT. Most of my shots are in Program mode (essentially "full auto" that doesn't use flash and lets me tweak shutter speed) and use a basic Canon 18-55mm kit lens. I also own a 75-300mm EF-S lens but rarely rarely bring it out to the parks (talk about cumbersome!)

- The S'mores are from the 50's Primetime Cafe at Disney Studios

Steve! Man, those are great shots and I loved seeing them. Thanks for the opportunity to have been a part of your plans - and for the great feedback you provided.

I may go out today to buy a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT for my Disney Cruise in April! Your night shots are amazing and my current camera can't capture night shots clearly without a tripod. And the twisted part of me is reminded of The Shining seeing the BWI hallway shots!

Thanks again!

AKLRULZ, (and anyone else)
I have the Canon XTi and LOVE it!! One word of caution. The XTs is coming out in a few months with more features and 12.5 MP. The XT is 8 and the XTi is 10. Just wanted evreyone to be "informed"

Hehe this was exactly my intention in taking them

If they really are bringing a second upgrade to the XT line (XT -> XTi -> XTs) I may have to pick one up. Still love my XT though.

Actually it is called the XSi:

Not actually a big fan of this camera. Two reasons, one it is using SD memory instead of the better CF. Secondly I and my brother are not impressed with the Digic 3 processor in it, granted the specs say it is the APS-C but I was reading a few Photo mags and they have all said it is the D3.

Great pictures! And, if the dates are right on all of 'em, we were in MGM on the same day (the 15th). (I looked closely; I'm not in any of the shots.

)

I enjoyed all the photos! You took some amazing shots! Love the night time photos, how did you ever get those to turn out so well. I thought I had a good camera, and my night shots are not that good! Great castle ones, and the ones of the animals on safari are good, our driver went to fast to get steady ones.

Great pics!!! Thanks for sharing! S'mores look delicious! I really love the shots of the castle, all covered in ice.
