Disney Parks Picture of the Day

Hi,

Going to shake it up a bit and move away from Animal Kingdom. This picture is from Mickey's No So Scary Halloween Party. I love this ghost Mickey:

Yes He was great! I am surprised the picture came out-was not easy to get so dark out. I took a lot that night but this one was the best

Omg, the Mickey ghost is so cute! It looks really tall. How tall was it?

We think he was about 15 to 18 feet tall. He was awesome. They were take professional pics in front of him.

Going back to AK for a moment.. I loved that pic of the Bird of Paradise.

I also found this one, that I liked, but do not know what it is (knowing my luck, it is probably something common to here LOL)

Awesome picture-looks like maybe something from the cactus family.

Bug

That is just lovely, too. The colors are beautiful. The leaves look like an aloe vera kinda plant.

Whoah, bug is an AMAZING photographer.

Bug - if it is from the cactus family, it must be a succulent

Nightmaretime - not sure about aloe vera.. these leaves are really flat, while I think (not sure) aren't aloe leaves kinda thick.. so you can squeeze out a drop or two?

I should have asked while I was there..


Thank you to those that think it is a good pic.. it was our first digital camera ever, and we um, well, made more bad than good pics LOL

Awe thanks for your kind words but it is true only in my dreams. I am having a hard time learning all this photography stuff. I am on book 3 and does not seem to sink in. I have gotten lucky on a few shots but the camera is very big and complicated. I wish I could find a class around me to learn about this stuff.

I know exatly what you mean bug I just purchased a dSRL about a month ago and can't wait to take it on our trip to WDW this Sept. But like you said there is sooo much to learn. I have been reading "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson, and it has been very helpful, along with visiting a couple of photograpy boards.

Oh and here is anohter pic from 06

Hey, by the looks of your previous pictures, whatever "Book 3" is, you will eventually get it :-)

Just_Jim, that is a GreatMonorail picture. The time it is here 9:57, I probably would be getting on the monorail LOL!

Hi,

Just_Jim I have read that book. I need to read it again- my old mind does not retain information like it use to . Someday I may get my dslr camera figured out. I poked fun at my self at Disneyland in April. I brought the tripod and my "fancy" camera and set it all up to take night time pictures of the fireworks. Well 15 minutes before the show I was trying to get the settings correct on the camera. Well it went downhill fast. I could not get things right it did not want to focus would not take any pictures and I started to panic. As I was panicing i could not remeber any thing I had read. So i said to everyone with me:

New dlsr camera- $800
Lens for camera-$800
Tripod- $40

Trying to look like you know what you are doing- Priceless



Well on to todays picture. It is of Chip and Dale in the Christmas parade:




Bug

Love the monorail shot and all of the flowers....well I love ALL of the photos!! So glad for this thread! Bug, your "priceless" comment is, well, priceless, LOL! The thing I love about digital is you know right away if you got the shot or not (well, up to a point, I know when we get home and upload the photos we are our own worst critics...) but it also can drive me crazy. Our '06 trip was the first with a digital camera, I tried over and over to get a good night shot of the castle, no tripod and had just gotten the camera shortly before the trip. Needless to say, there is not ONE good shot lol. I've since gotten a much nicer camera (gift from my DH, he really wanted to get me a dslr because all of my film cameras had awesome lenses but I asked him please no dslr yet, lol) and have had time to use it to get ready for our trip, I know I still will drive myself crazy over some of the shots LOL. I will be thinking of your priceless comment quite often next month when I'm at WDW.

Okay, my photo for today is from DTD in '06. We sat watching this Stitch "spit" at the passers by, lol. My daughter is a huge Stitch fan and we are huge pirate fans, she really wanted this Stitch to add to her collection, LOL!

Woot, GREAT PICTURE!! I love stitch,
I really like the angle of it too

Ok this was just taken on my phone.. no schmancy camera like bug.. but.. It is art inside Club 33 over the bar area.

Hi,

No way I can top that picture-I will never see the inside of club 33.

I decided to go with Epcot today:



One of my favorite parks

Bug

Nice pictures you guys all have. I have no Disney Parks pictures unfortunately.

Staying with Epcot:
