Amazing stuff Barnum. How lond did you leave your shutter open for?
I honestly can't remember. I did a few experimental shots just hand holding to get an idea of whether the camera could cope if I left it to it's own devices or semi automatic before I planted it down firmly. I had it lined up and heard the monorail, so I thought, lets wait a few more seconds and see what happens when it gets into the viewfinderimagineer99 said:Amazing stuff Barnum.

Your pictures always relate Disney magic no matter what the topic - I love them... Congrats on being able to catch the magic so easily on film! Great Pic - (and I loved the one you submitted for the Valentine's Day contest!)Laura22 said:LOL - this is the only picture I could find with a darn monorail in it. Guess I need to take more!

Laura22 said:I just can't picture that being taken from TTC. The track really curves that much? I always picture the track going straight from TTC into the Contemporary. I didn't realize there was that much of a bend. I'll have to take a better look next time.
donsullivan said:Yeah, the turn is so gradual you don't really notice it when your riding because of the distance. Here is a link to some satellite images of the area that are probably the best way to see it.

It's actually really straight until it hits the area of the water bridge and then starts turning left to enter the Contemporary.
Laura22 said:That's so weird. So you used a good zoom lens to get that shot or something? This is so perplexing to me! Even on the sattelite image it doesn't appear to have THAT much of a curve. And from the sattelite image it doesn't seem like the Contemporary is at such an angle from the TTC. Where at TTC did you take the shot? Right from the monorail station?

MKCP 1985 said:Any good monorail contest has to have photos of the monorail going into or through the Contemporary - CHECK!
But the contest is not complete without a photo of the monorail coming around Spaceship Earth. This thread is on page 3 already without that iconic imagery?
