WOW! Some great pictures here in the last couple days!
Good to see you back on the DPotD thread YEKCIM... Your great "up-close" shots are what inspired me to buy a 12X optical zoom camera... so thanks, I gots me a new hobby...
Joe,
Glad to be back, and thank you for your kind words. To be honest, I have been humbled by the quality of the posts lately, and felt like mine were not really in the same league.
Glad you got the 12X zoom; I know you are enjoying the versatility. On our '06 visit, I shot +/-2000 pix, and I would guess that 75% or more were at the telephoto end of my Fuji S5200's range (38mm-380mm in 35mm terms). I really like being able to isolate the subject from the background, using longer focal lengths. I did miss a "real" wide angle, though, as 38mm is not really wide. My 8 YO (turns 9 the week we are at WDW) daughter will inherit the S5200, and I'll see what I can get with my new Nikon gear. Thanks to Gdad, I'll probably end up toting my 10-20mm Sigma around all week, as well, although I think the 18-135 (28-200 equiv) should cover most needs.
If I get any good stuff, I'll post here. May also start a thread on the Photography board for WDW pix *by* kids, as I'm sure my daughter will bring home some keepers that I'll want to share. Also thinking about having my picture made, in front of the castle, or other icon, wearing a custom made T-shirt with my Dis "handle" on it, and starting a thread for interested parties to post pix of themselves wearing such custom made shirts. A thought, anyway.
