Fun Fan get together for EPCOT's 25th on Oct 1st
- Thread starter Figments Friend
- Start date
The "Soarin'-Last Ride of the Night" meetup is great...i know many requested it and it will happen!
The American Adventure meet will be fantastic.....i encourage EVERYONE to pack a SMALL handheld American Flag with them to wave during the finale when we all sing "Golden Dream" together. THAT will indeed be a TRUE "Magical Moment". If you don't have a mini flag, they sell them at various carts near by. I will also try to remember to bring a couple of extras with me in case someone needs one.....
The spectacle of all 1000+ of us waving our flags, and SINGING "Golden Dream" ( since most of us know the words...) will be awe inspiring. I can feel the chills of the moment right now...as it will be a moment ALL OF US will be sharing, together! Much like EPCOT itself really, it is something we all love and have shared experiences in through it's history...and now we are all coming together to honor that legacy.
A absolute MUST for capturing on video!!

Little thread drift...but....
I think FSU is going to be much better as the season goes on. They are going to have a better record then last year and do some serious damage in the league. I'm glad we got them out of the way early!
Good for those of you who have avoided the addiction of pins.....I am not so lucky...and can blame Epcot for it. Pins were pretty much kicked off with the milennium celebration with that new wand...the Village and all that other stuff.

I plan on photographing, in full, both days of the event. However, I know nothing about web design.
If anybody is planning a website to document the event, I will gladly donate my photos (with credit, of course).
Just a little warning though, I'm likely to take as many pictures as there are people attending the event.

We can definitely use you for the book we're planning.I plan on photographing, in full, both days of the event. However, I know nothing about web design.

Do you have a particular resolution and megapixel that you are trying to stick to or do you just want everything maxed out?We can definitely use you for the book we're planning.

Other than lining up at some poor souls computer with our cables, does Epcot have download to disc? We could provide that instead, then offer condolences to those looking to edit and select.

Folks usually only link our friend JH with inflammatory issues.
In keeping with our thread and also keeping it bumped to the top of the heap, I offer the following:

I'm going to design the book at 300 DPI, so the larger the pic the better.
Quick-n-dirty math: 300 pixels per inch means to stretch across the roughly 8.5" wide page would be, what, 2550 pixels wide or so?
Not saying that every pic would spread all the way across the page, but just something to keep in mind. A 640x480 pic that some smaller/older (or cell phone) cameras take would mean a finished product of roughly three inches by two inches.
Cardinal rule of graphic design: Do it huge, so you can scale it down if needs be. If you make it small then upsize it, the computer has to interpolate (guess) what each "new" pixel should be, and that makes for fuzzy yucky nastyness.

Then I will leave my camera at max resolution and 8.1 MP. I have a 2GB card and access to at least 4GB more so space should not be an issue. Would burning the pictures onto a DVD be OK?

Can that be done on property now?
Regarding the "Pin Addiction"......
Yes, i am not afraid to admit that i am a bonifide "Pin Freak". I NEVER thought it would stick with me....but once i started to trade with CM's in the Parks it has now become downright obsessive now!
I just went on a eBay "Pin Binge" a couple of nights ago to stock up on stuff for the upcoming trip back to the World. So folks: If YOU like to trade pins bring em' Sunday and Monday!
I want to trade with YOU !!

Who knows, you may even get a gift or two for all the work you've done on this event!
Do you have any particular "areas of interest?"
