Yeah, this is the first time I've used one in WDW. I found one that cost $6, weighs next to nothing and fits in a string sack. I've packed them before and never used them because I felt like a dork, and I usually find something to rest the camera on.

I know what you mean. I've tried many times but can never nail it. You did with that shot! awesome

I'd love to be able to just hang out in that scene. One of my all time favourite movies is Alien.

How long after park closing are you there??? The lack of hundreds of bodies is mesmerizing!

Not too late. Mrs. C won't have it. After the fireworks, the parks empty out pretty fast.

My ds and I thank you again! We're still trying to figure out how to be able to afford to bring you as our trip photographer. But seeing as I feed 2 teen boys and their friends I don't think it's going to happen mad

More from DHS. I spent more time there than usual.

In honor of the Animation Academy

For the love of God, let it go already

Doesn't this look like Cam from Modern Family?

Ok here is my totally amateur advice: Set camera to vivid to make colors pop, aperture wide open, ISO at least 6400, shutter speed at least 80
