All these pictures are so awesome :sohappy:. Makes me realize how much I overlook everything and that I definitely don't take enough pictures when I am at WDW.
You are so right - it's made me realize that I spent way too much time rushing around trying to see and do everything, that I missed so many special things that were right under my nose. Hence, a return trip this December. I promise to slow down and appreciate the Magic!!

A side note on IS though, if you set the camera down on a table, or use a mini-tripod or whatever, you wanna turn IS off. When there's no camera shake at all, IS gets fooled. It keeps working to stabilize and actually ends up putting a little blur in your pic.
Really? I never knew this. I'll try it next time!

Photoshoped! But still a good picture.
Aww, you mean the Castle really isn't part of Main Street Station? :animwink:

Well tonight Flower's Child was at the P&P party. He went back to see Suzy and Perla and brought his doll as well. So I am sure he will post more photos of himself and his doll with Suzy and Perla.

MattBoom, That photo of the castle and train station is FABULOUS. Very well done.

I should've clarified that a little :) There are different kinds of IS. Some shift a lens element, some shift the sensor (the chip that records the image), some are digital. I have a p&s that uses a lens shift IS (I think all the canon p&s are lens shift) where one of the lens elements inside the lens moves to compensate for shake. Apparently, that tiny movement in the lens could cause blur. Canon says on some lens shift types...“When there is no shake, or when the level of shake is below the threshold of the system’s detection capability, use of the IS feature may actually 'add' unwanted blur to the photograph, therefore you should shut it off in this situation."

To make it more complicated, some DSLR IS lenses (and maybe some p&s too) detect when there's zero shake and turn IS off automatically. Technologically, I'm a little over my head on this though :) so if there's somebody who understands it better please jump in. But turning it off when you set the camera on a bench or something, and use a shutter delay seems the safe/easiest thing to do. There's no shake so don't need it anyway. Just remember to turn it back on :lol: A mistake I've made more than once.

The other thing is, most (maybe all) IS correct vertical (up down) shake not horizontal. The elemement only shifts up down, so if you happen to be holding the cam on it's side the IS won't help. Though some cams have a "panning" (side-side) IS mode (where the element shifts side-side in that mode) and you can switch to that.
