Luck was with me this night. ; A completely empty queue on Peter Pan's Flight, and one of my shots actually came out!

Dennis,
In response, I see why you said "only one shot turned out" at PP. I was there at opening and rode three times and only saw three shots that are fair at best. I had my best luck at a 12,800 ISO pass but seeing a lot a grain. I had to dump the AF but then had many out of focus shots. ; This attraction is tough however with this new lens and camera I at least now have a chance. ; A 1.8 50mm on a 5DII is what I shot. ; Going back again (wishing for an e-stop) and welcome any suggestions for all the Pixelmaniacs. Thanks - Garry Rolllins

I dont have much advice for you Garry seeing as I have never gotten even a fair shot from Peter Pan. ; But I try every time, so that would be my advice, keep at it.

Garry, I don't have any suggestions to add to what you've already learned from shooting Peter Pan. ; It is so dark in there that you have to be at or above 6400ISO and the darkness combined with the black lighting confuses the autofocus system, which makes using manual focus a must. ; Now that Snow White is gone, I think Peter Pan is the hardest ride to shoot overall. ; There are scenes in the Haunted Mansion that are more difficult, but Peter Pan is more difficult overall. ; Getting shots in there just takes practice.

Thanks Michael. I used this lens in POTC last night and brought home much better shots. I am starting to get the hang of it and appreciate the help from others. ; The biggest issue I see in Pirates is what white balance to go with. I like keeping the warm lighting but also like to adjust for a more natural look. I did find that the AF would work much better than in Peter Pan.

Gang, this light is why you shouldn't make ADRs in the late afternoon during Pixelmania!

This looks a little familiar, only the lighting is not the best

It's not my best picture of the castle, but it is a shot of Garry(Pops)shooting away all by his lonesome.
