I have just signed up to this site as i have recently caught the photographgy bug.....!
I am a massive Disneyworld fan, have been 7 times since my first trip in 2002. I live in the UK just outside London
Earlier this year i took the plunge and upgraded my point and shoot sony camera to a NIkon d5100 DSLR.
This was because we have a three year old son and we wanted really good photos of him growing up, plus I wanted some nice photos of Disney made up to canvas and put up n the walls at home. and a point and shoot just wasnt going to be good enough.
My brother-in-law is a press photographer so i asked him to recomend a camera which would be good for me. He had just bought himself a Nikon d5100 as his "holiday camera", so i thought if its good enought for him, its good enough for me.
I bought the camera and kit lens, and also added a 55-200mm Nikon zoom lens. Then i also bought a Nikon 35mm prime lens to replace the kit lens
We went to Disney for 16 nights in November, and i took in excess of 1,400 photos (excluding photos i deleted immediately) so had a wealth of images to sort through for suitable canvas. Thanksfully we have managed to do it, and myself and my wife were very satisfied iwth the results.
I did two day-courses in begineers photography so i have learned to move away from Auto mode. In fact, almost all of the photos i took on holiday were in Aperture mode with the 35mm prime lens. Have to say from the first photo i took with that lens i was hooked, it produced some amazing images.
I will post some of them below, would be good to see what others think.
I got some great images of the Wishes fireworks, although at the time i hadnt realised someone had kicked my tripod and they were slightly wonky! But still another reason to go back and take more.
Ialso bought a circula polariser as well to deepend the blue of the sky, which i think cmae out well.
Some of the photos are Harry Potter Land and universal so forgive me if i break any Disney rules on my first post!
Please would like to have feedback on them..
