Just got back-Photos!

[forbidden donut]

Got some shots of them filming the ABC Disney Christmas special
It took them all day to film one parade! - about 20 minutes to position the cameras for shooting of each float and most floats had to make two passes to get all the shots needed.

Here we see the Cheeta Girls dancing for Regis and Kelly (and the cameras).

Regis has some pixie-dust in his eye

The steadycam man

Time for your close-up

More to come

good shots!

 

[Nemo14]

Great shots - Regis looks like he's been hitting more than Pixie Dust! :lol:

They even had an eye in the sky.

Later riding on TTA I caught Space Mountain with the lights on.

At AK I got a shot of them testing EE

Another nice shot at dusk

More to come

Ok...had to post for 2 reasons...
1. great pictures!!!
2. I looooooove your avatar! My dh and I wait for this commercial (or infomercial) everytime we're in the Orlando area...we just crack up the whole time! That's so funny that you've got that! :sohappy:

Stayed for EMH at Ak - the Tree of Life looks alot different at night.

Saw the new effects for Illuminations -some new lasers and "smokepots" (visible in the lower left of the first photo)

More to come

 

[LSUxStitch]

Great pictures!!! thanks.

Is there really much different with Illuminations b/c they look the same to me. Even the smoke.

 

[DisneyDellsDude]

Great Pictures!
I love the one of Everest at Dusk!:sohappy:

 

[TTATraveler]

Your picture of EE at Dusk (almost ominous looking) and The Tree of Life at dark are awesome!!

And the new added holiday ending to Illuminations "Let there be peace on earth" (and fire in the sky!)

The Living Seas look very bland now - cant wait til they finish it

I guess they underestimated the popularity of Turtle Talk.

Was there for the WDW MAGIC meet on Dec 11 though most of the gang could stay for only two rides because they had other plans, as a result I dont have many shots of them.
Heres "Wanabebelle" in the Magic of Disney Animation at Disney Studios as "Shoppingnut" looks on.

And one more shot

May I ask what kind of camera you drive? Santa needs a hint

Great Update

This is probably the best photo update I've ever seen here. Great job! Thanks for keeping it simple, to the point and relevant.

 

[stitchcastle]

the dusk shot of Everest and the Illuminations photos are amazing!

 

[e4ymod]

I'm guessing you took a tripod with you to take those pics. I'm going to be leaving for Orlando in about 7 hours and I'm taking my new Rebel XT with me. I was just wondering if you had trouble with the tripod... carrying it around all day, setting it up in the large crowds, complaints?

Nikon D50
But more important to the images were the lenses I used.
Sigma 24-70 f2.8
Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6
