Amazing shots....ALL of them! This is a personal favorite!

Disneyland in the rain is the best, and your photos are the very best of the best. You took my breath away with the sword in the stone/back of castle photo, and your carousel shot just might be the best ever. Hit after hit after hit . . . so many creative angles you found!Thanks!

Thanks MickeyMaxx. You are too kind. But I agree with you about the rain, and I do hope we get more this year!

Too beautiful. Your night shots took my breath away!

Thanks Astrologic!

Great great shots, MacDaddy! How wide are your lens?

Thanks Coheteboy. Most of the rain shots were taken with the Lumix LX3 which has a 24mm on it. When the sun came out, I ran back to the car for my Nikon on which I use a Sigma 10-20, which I love. The D90 is not a full frame camera, so I'm not quite sure what that works out to, but I think that Sigmas gets the most use out of any of my lenses.

This is what a photo thread ought to be!!!

Thanks Bryce05

Not. At. All.

The border looks good. I forget where I got it. Simple action in photoshop. But that looks about right.
Border it up!

Thanks DPG. All I have to do now is figure out how to use actions in Photoshop. It took me awhile to use the stroke and canvas size on each of those. I was thinking there was probably a better way...

Amazing shots....ALL of them! This is a personal favorite!

Thanks I Heart Disneyland. I was just messing around with that shot but liked how it looked after I tweaked it in photoshop.


And thanks again to those who are still coming back after all this time. I should be finishing up the thread this week.

Thanks DPG. All I have to do now is figure out how to use actions in Photoshop.

I think your D90 is a 1.6 crop. so take any mm from a lens and multiply it by 1.6. so your 10-20 is essentially a 16-32. Thats close to my 16-35 on my full frame. So its just about the same in the end. I love this focal range as well.

As far as actions go. Just open your actions panel and at the bottom you will see some icons. click the one that creates a new action. give it a name and click OK. then hit the record button at bottom again and do as you wish. you will see photoshop is recording what your doing. You can do multiple this. It will record everything you do. When you've finished, hit stop and voila. your own custom photoshop action Then you can use the Image Processor or Batch under File>Automate or File>Batch and apply it to several photos with just a few clicks.



PM me anytime if you have any questions.
