It will be an interesting shooting experience. On one hand, if you go with the traditional long shutter speed, the castle may well end up looking muddy coloured. If you go with a shorter shutter speed, the fireworks will not look so pretty.
My solution?
Shoot the fireworks show TWICE!! Which probably means either:
a) Staying longer
b) Going back to DLR for another trip.
Decisions, decisions! Bwa ha ha ha ha!
Yes, it definitely is nice to know that someone else in the world has ALSO done all of those mistakes!!!
We'll start a "been there/done that" club!
I probably won't get to shoot DF twice. We'll be investing time one night to get a good spot, then on another night for the Halloween fireworks. I think that's all I can probably take for one trip.
There will be some scenes during the shows that it will be still for a while and it should be no problem getting those shots. I can understand what you meant of not wanting to stake out spots during a trip in which you can use that time for something else. I am trying to plan my trip as much as I can for the WDW trip but I am still willing to stake out if I have too.
It helps to know that some of the castle projections stay the same for a while. But man, I can barely get my timing right without that wrinkle. Nothing like adding an extra layer of challenge!
Catching up!! Love the POR pictures. I have to ever step foot on the grounds there and you took some grea pictures. The room looks fabulous!
Great shots of Marie too! Katie is getting so old!
I love love love the parade photos! You can never take or post too many.
The room really was fabulous. I've wanted to stay there for so long and am glad we finally did. You really should stay there one day.
And it's funny but I see Katie every day and it's not really until I see her in my photos like this that I notice how much older she looks. Claire really is looking so much older in your photos too!
Also the BOG shots are really good. I am super impressed.
Thanks. It was fun to have a camera so good in low light for that situation.
How did you get so many FP scheduled??? Lucky!!
As much as we LOVE DL, I do miss FP+. Scheduling was much better than trekking across the park to grab a FP.
Your shots are amazing! I am so excited for you to see PTN and the new fireworks. They blew me away. Loved them!
Thanks Wendy! I'm so excited to finally see PTN and DF in person! I've heard such good things.
Loving all the pictures...finally got caught back up. That is a crazy long jungle cruise line for FP's!
Thanks Jen. It's funny but in that photo of the long JC FP return line, you'll notice that you can't see anyone in the standby line! Just crazy.
I love your castle photos.
What awesome pixie dust with the cinnamon rolls
Thanks Petals. I think it's hard to take a bad photo of the castle. And the cinnamon rolls were pure sugary pixedust!
