Photomatt Pics - WDW MK and ST 12.13.07 thru 12.21.07

Howdy.

This is my first post with my pictures being hosted by smugmug, so please be patient if there are any problems. There are a lot of pictures in this post. Smugmug is a little slower than photobucket, but I still like it better. I originally posted this on another board over several days. I am doing most of it all at once over here, so the pictures are not in any particular order.


Since all of the pictures I took that day can be found on my smugmug site, I will not post the exposure information for each picture here.


I like the clouds. It was a pretty day, but still warm and humid.

As I entered the park I was surprised at how empty and calm it felt. It really was not empty, but the park had a surprisingly calm feel. It was odd. I don't know how to explain it better.

Buzz looks REALLY determined!

The ride stopped here, so I was able to take a pretty clear shot.

I did not bring my tripod, so this picture was taken without one.

This is my favorite lighting scheme.

This picture was taken at 12:05 a.m. During the closing announcement they will have a small lighting show on the castle. I was ready for it this time, finally!

The next sequence is from the closing announcement. Some people call it the "Goodnight Kiss", so check out YouTube if you want video.

I love the pumpkin coaches. I have never noticed them before. Normally this walkway is always closed off because of the shows. They give me an idea for a picture. I'm going to have to go back now and see if I can do it.

So, that's it for the MK. Hopefully I will get to the studios tonight. I will try.



Oh, one last thing. I am going to try something new. As always, feel free to use any of my pictures as your desktop. Just right click on the picture and download it to your computer. However, if you want a larger version, you can go to my smugmug account and download a 1MB file, which you can resize as you wish. The cost is only .99 cents. So, you can still use my pictures as your desktop for free, but if you want a higher quality version then that is also available at a very reasonable price.

I would love feedback on this. If this new idea elicits a strong reaction, positive or negative, then please let me know via PM. I appreciate your opinions.

Those are wonderful pictures, photomatt! REally excellent! I especially love the one you took throught the castle with the tree in the background.

What kind of camera do you use?

I use a Nikon D200. Some of the pics in this post were taken with a Nikon 17-55mm DX AF-S f/2.8 lens that I no longer have.

I am planning on purchasing a Nikon D3 very soon, so I have already sold all of my digital lenses. The only lens I have left is a 50mm f/1.4. The Nikon D3 has a larger sensor, so all of the film type lenses will now work at the correct focal length when used with a digital camera.

I know that could all be confusing to someone new to photography, so I apologize. To make it simpler I could just say that I am in transition right now. :)

Ahh that explains your ability to get the dark ride shots. Still looks like you had the ISO jacked quite a ways up. I always wondered what kind of shots the 1.4 could get.

I liked the photo of the inside of the castle looking towards Main Street.
