Sgt. Fox Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hey All! Just got back from celebrating my 5th Anniversary at WDW. We were married there back in 2004, and couldn't help but go back to celebrate our 5th. We stayed on the Atrium Club level of the Contemporary, and I would highly recommend it. Free food, snacks, drinks and booze more than make up for the extra price. Not to mention just having your own private lounge to unwind in at the end of the day. Way cool. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip. If you want to view them all, they're on my blog at http://www.arizonasteve.com WDW Was All Decked Out For Christmas View From the Atrium Club Lounge Grand Floridian As Seen From the Lounge View From Our Room (In HDR) DVC Under Construction Brer Rabbit Brer Bear and Fox YEEOOOW!

spaceace12 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I love HDR photography! Night shots don't seem to be as pronounced as the day ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjensen Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Wow - I love the daytime tower in HDR - looks so vibrant! Great pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Pardon my lack of photographic knowledge, but does HDR stand for High Definition Resolution? If not, I'm lost... Anyway, very nice shots, and I liked the large, bold type for the captions. Makes it a bit easier to see. And this report makes me want to go back to WDW soon.

Sgt. Fox Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thanks Guys. Yeah, the HDR photos are High Dynamic Range. They're all 3 exposure HDRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenaapple1974 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 OMG I am in love... What kind of camera do you have? I am definitely checking your blog for more. I am totally in love with your photos! I love stuff like this. How do you get it to be HDR? Is it the camera, or a photoshop program? You know - I was so amazed by the photos, I didn't even read anything. HA HA! Great photo report! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Fox Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks for the kind words. I shoot a Canon Rebel XTi. The lenses used for these photos were a 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS, a 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5, and a 50mm f/1.4. That fast f/1.4 lens is good for shooting in the rides where it's dark. HDR is a technique where you take multiple photos of a subject at different exposures, then combine them using software. You can do it with any camera. I have a very short tutorial here: http://www.arizonasteve.com/2008/07/hdr-photography-fun.html If you'd like to see more HDR, I recently took a bunch of HDR photos at Disneyland, which can be seen here: http://www.arizonasteve.com/2008/09/disneyland-in-hdr.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenaapple1974 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I checked those out earlier at work. Shhhhhh!! LOL. I do not think that I have the patience for that stuff. I take long enough with the pics! lol. I definitely look forward to more of your posts though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebl Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 "I shoot a Canon Rebel XTi." (Sgt. Fox) That's a good camera, and the same model I'm considering when I can afford a D-SLR. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Fox Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I highly recommend the XTi. It's treated me well. The XSi is nicer, but pricier. Amazon has a body + lens kit on sale for $540 right now. I think you can get a body only for around $420. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
