Since this board is sparse topic-wise, I thought I would post this here. Please feel free to post some of your own shots here as well!
We just returned from seven fun days at the Walt Disney World Resort. I will discuss the trip itself in an upcoming trip report, but for now, here is this shot.
This is a shot that I have had envisioned since during studying for finals in May (I think of any reason I can to daydream while studying). At the time, I was absolutely ecstatic about the shot. I thought it had never been tried before, as I had never seen a shot like it. That did, however, get me a little worried, as usually when I think of a shot that I have never seen, it: a) can't be done (angles don't line up how I remember them, things have moved/changed in the parks, or it simply isn't technically possible), or b) has been done, and I just haven't seen it, or forgot I have seen it. Although I later saw discussion about this type of shot (which was a little deflating since I thought my idea was unique!), I still have yet to see a Spectro long exposure, although I doubt I'm the only one ever to have done it...
Given that I had been waiting so long to get this shot (and since it was at the "top" of my list), I wanted to get it as quickly as possible. However tripod issues and large crowds postponed it until the last night. Concerned that we wouldn't get the spot we needed at the Main Street Train Station, we waited an hour and a half in advance for this spot. It was actually pretty fun waiting there, and we even managed to 'sneak' some fine cuisine from Cosmic Ray's over for the wait. I captured several similar shots of the parade, but this is the best, in my opinion.
Anyway, here it is:
Clicking the picture takes you to its Flickr page, where there is EXIF, etc.
Let's see some other SpectroMagic shots you all have (not necessarily long exposures).
