    I believe you're able to choose to show the EXIF data on your photographs to others (although this isn't something I've experimented with, so as it stands you have to choose to show this - I can't recall if Flickr is the same for this). You can enable it on some/all galleries if you like. With...

    I have no idea on the legalities of everything and the small print yet, but to answer your question on what smugmug is like to use: (I use it as a place to share family pictures and as a location for galleries for my clients) It's easy to use and a great way of managing photographs in an online...

    What's your definition of a professional camera?

    This is a really interesting post, which I hope will spark some good debate/responses. I'll have a crack at the issue of what a professional camera is first, but I guess it's a bit of a minefield of personal experience and opinion. As a bit of background, I'm a professional photographer in the...

    Any tips to shake the post trip blues?

    I too get the depression big time. Got back about 3 weeks ago and struggling to shake it. I tend to find that Disney based projects help me quite a bit though...so I edited my photographs from my trip over the last few weeks which was fun, but now I'm working on a piano transcription of the...

    Ideas for adult b'day celebration not focused on alcohol

    I have no idea if this is feasible to book within your timeframe and I've never done it so cant testify as to whether it's any good, but what about the Happily Ever After dessert party?

    Camera Case - Security Chek

    I took a tripod into all parks except HS on a couple of occasions about 2 weeks ago and had no problems at all. It was in it's own bag and they checked it briefly but didn't seem at all phased by it.

    Disney solo?

    I loved my solo trip and would recommend it to anyone who is even vaguely thinking about doing one. I posted my experiences in this thread https://www.disboards.com/threads/im-at-wdw-solo-right-now-heres-what-im-learning.3669335/ As far as the safety aspect goes I can't say I ever felt...

    2 Weeks? Will I get bored?

    I just recently returned from a 2 week solo trip. I had a fantastic time and will certainly be doing the same thing again when I can afford it. If you're anything like me there might be the odd occasion when you find yourself thinking "ok then, so...what now?" but whenever this happened I just...

    I'm at WDW solo right now...here's what I'm learning

    I can imagine how that could be true with DS; it was my first time since it had been changed from downtown Disney when I visited for my trip and I enjoyed it but only visited for a couple of hours on 2 occasions in the morning, mostly just to explore it. I imagine it's got a good night life but...

    Single Rider Line Experience

    Apologies, my post wasn't well worded here; you're right in that there's no single rider line for big thunder, but as a single rider I was paired on one occasion with someone else..which you're right did seem odd to me.

    Single Rider Line Experience

    I just recently returned from a trip and for all of my rides as a solo traveller I had no problems at all *except* for one instance on Big Thunder and another on EE. On Big Thunder I was paired with a middle aged guy who was part of a larger party, and seemed uncomfotable with me being there...

    I'm at WDW solo right now...here's what I'm learning

    Absolutely, and I guess it's for this reason that if I could afford it I would choose to stay at either Poly or AKL, both of which feel like amazing places just to walk around so I imagine staying at them is pretty awesome. Wilderness lodge is one of the few resorts that I've never really...

    I'm at WDW solo right now...here's what I'm learning

    I liked not having to think about paying for food but I did also find myself ordering the more expensive options to "make the most of it". I think on my next trip I probably would do the quick service plan again but I'd likely try to eat lunch earlier. I think a big part of my problem also was...

    I'm at WDW solo right now...here's what I'm learning

    Honestly yes and no. I felt like I was eating just for the sake of it on a couple of days, and when it's like that even things like the new food over at Pandora started to get a bit much, but having said that I mostly didn't mind it too much. I'll admit that my clothes feel a size smaller now...

    This is a great idea, I'd be very keen to give this a go next time!

    I'm at WDW solo right now...here's what I'm learning

    I actually spent at least some of every day at the parks. I did Disney Springs for 2 half days, returned to the hotel for a few hours at around midday on about 5 of the days and did resort hopping for a couple of hours on about 3 of the days. No real time by the pool, so other than these things...

    I'm at WDW solo right now...here's what I'm learning

    Great again to read so many awesome replies. Well, as I write this I sit here in the Pop food court squeezing out the last bit of value from my refillable mug while I wait for the not-so-magical express. And I have to say it's the hardest time I've ever had leaving WDW, but I guess that's...

    I'm at WDW solo right now...here's what I'm learning

    Sure, the first time was Big Thunder, although I kind of get that because the rows aren't huge and every other time I've ridden the cast members have put me on my own. This morning was Expedition Everest, which is kind of more ridiculous given that there's an actual line specifically for single...

    I'm at WDW solo right now...here's what I'm learning

    In the interest of being totally open and honest I will say this; I have just had my second ride where the party I joined as a single rider was clearly not enamoured with having me on board, but in 2 weeks and lots and lots of rides only 2 experiences like this doesn't feel like a big deal. They...
