Questions

[Kingdom WDW]

Just some basic info:

* Canon SD750 with 2GB memory.
* I have two batteries just-in-case the other one runs out. (This has happened to me many times before.)
* Obsessive photo taking personality. (Not of family, are you kidding me? :lol

• While some rides pose a "No Flash Photography" rule, how would you take pictures without it? When I was in Disneyland and taking pictures of POTC there, they came out pretty bad. Is there any tips to making the pictures come out somewhat decent? (Not just for POTC.)
• In some of my pictures, they came out very pixelated or blurry, mostly shaky. I was told that my camera didn't have a "stabilizer", but is there any way to counter it?
• If I keep turning my camera on and off, how bad would that be for the battery? (I got two for this reason.)

That's all for now. Thanks to those who can help! :wave:

Best way to conserve battery power is to turn off the LCD viewing and use the eyepiece. That LCD uses a LOT of power.

As for pics where they say no flash, set your ISO as high as you can and stabilize your camera as best you can. The exposure time has to be as short as possible while still getting enough light to show up.

I don't have an eye piece, the screen is taking up the whole thing. :brick:

Is exposure the same as "Shutter Speed"?

Thanks for your help! :wave:

If you have a "museum" setting, that will shoot without flash, but your pics will still come out blurry unless you stabilize your camera. Do you use a tripod at all?

a tripod at potc would be quite a hassle

nahh kidding ..

accept the fate of the megapixel and smaller imager/enclosures "run". Those small cameras can't do a short exposure nightshot anymore .. and flash pictures will come out stupid (totally wrong lightning for the scenes... and those flashes aren't powerfull enough for anything beyond 5 meters or so .. not speaking of iritating other riders and cameras)

I have a nice tripod, but alas it's too large to bring into the park, and who needs to be lugging it around all day?

I do have a much, much smaller tripod that I'll bring.

Thank you all for the tips!

ISO 6400, 85/1.8 and 1/100th.


Basically, to get these shots you need something high end, either lens or camera or both.

Other than that, i echo Dolbyman's comments.
A small P&S camera will not have an ISO/lens combo that will get crisp shots and their flashes will not properly illuminate the scene.

Learn to use your camera before you go to WDW.
