    Attendance at theme parks continues to skyrocket

    DizWiz, can you calculate for me the median popcorn kernel consumption if average attendee eats 4.3 grams of buttered and lightly salted popcorn? How about average length of churro consumption (in centimeters)? Just curious :slurp: Fun numbers.

    WDW Professional Portraits

    Wow. That's neat. As a semi-pro, local photographer I've thought about providing a service like this but didn't know if people would consider it valuable. I also didn't realize Disney started doing this themselves. EDIT: And I agree with other's comments. That sitting fee is not terribly out of...

    Photo set of Epcot 25th

    Thanks for all the kind comments, all. I appreciate it. DizWiz: Somehow I missed the "official" thread but perhaps I'll go post a few over there. Thanks for noticing the "thought" that went into these. It's challenging shooting a place like WDW where so many billions (trillions?) of photos...

    Photo set of Epcot 25th

    Hi all. I posted some of my shots from Epcot yesterday: Epcot 25th There are a lot of detail shots of the Epcot history display so don't look if you don't want "spoilers" :) <---><----->monorail<---><----->

    What are my chances of going professional at Disney?

    From my vantage point it's nearly impossible to get hired into a professional position at WDW. I have been applying for months (closing in on a year) for managerial technology positions that are very analogous to my current and past positions yet I haven't even gotten an invitation to a phone...

    Correct. Which is why I edited as I did. I guess people can't be bothered to read entire posts. Look, what frustrates me here is that people are not taking the time or extending the courtesy to think about what's being proffered. Do you know in all of these posts not one person asked for...

    Good lord. I really don't appreciate how some have you have tried to paint this conversation as an attack on NibblesandBits. As one of the ones I presume you are calling "not deserving" I can say that I have seen NO evidence of personal attacks (except your comment). All I see is some people...

    Clearly you don't understand what's being asked for. Excellent suggestion.

    2007 Photography Contest Ideas

    With all due respect nibblesandbits, this is a misguided notion. You'll never achieve absolute equity. Someone always has it better or easier. Don't the folks who live in Orlando and/or have "better" cameras already have the "upper hand" over those who only get to WDW once every couple of years...

    2007 Photography Contest Ideas

    Actually, that's not really a good definition as it's pretty loose. As an amateur photographer who started out in traditional darkrooms I can say there's a lot of content manipulation that could be done "the old fashioned way". With that said...I think general image adjustment is a good...

    2007 Photography Contest Ideas

    Some good thoughts there DizWiz. I'd also like to see some themes that are a bit more challenging/specific but I found your suggestion about general photo "processing" more interesting. I'd be for it. I see nothing wrong with generally editing a shot to enhance or better convey its mood. "Spot"...

    Vote! Fireworks Contest (Final Poll)

    I think it's worth having the discussion. I'm pretty sure everyone's been polite about it so far. It'd be nice if we could just rely on everyone following their conscience but, unfortunately, not everyone's conscience is an exceptional guide.

    Vote! Fireworks Contest (Final Poll)

    I'm glad you posted this Kevlightyear. I was thinking the same but felt shy about posting it. If it's real, fantastic...awesome shot but if not.....it should be DQed. I know these contests are just for fun but if we're going to set rules they have to be followed and policed. Just saying that...
