Well, I'll start - Here is one from Illuminations - in the rain.....I took it last year.

Nice picture! I'll dig through mine this week.

blush - blush - my one and only fireworks shot (well, the one's that I took from on top of the Contemporary just didn't come out that good).

Not totally dark yet but here is a pic

Nice one Brian......what is it? (j/k)

Unfortunately I've only been to WDW once since I got my new Cybershot camera. These are the only night-time pix that I have of an attraction (Illuminations). I'm not that happy with these results, but I'll go ahead and list them:

Thanks! I kind of like that one as well, but I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't have my tripod available to get a crisp shot of the scene.

Edit: It's a shame that the best night-time shots of Disneyland aren't eligible - I have some shots that I like better from my DLCA trip. http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/for...ies/smile1.gif

Jackknife,

Why are photographers so hard on themselves?

~I like what you did. The colors in the water & fireworks came out exceptionally clear~

Of your 3, the 3rd one is also my favorite of your photos.

Okay...here's my efforts...

June of '04 was our first trip with the digital camera, we'd just found the 'fireworks' setting, and were both (my wife and I) very new to this digital photography stuff. Still, I don't think they turned out as bad as they could have. Trust me when I tell you, I deleted almost as many pictures as we took that trip.

First picture is from the Magic Kingdom. SusieAngel (my wife) and our two friends sat curbside, in front of Casey's, in the rain, munching on soggy hot dogs, in hopes of seeing Spectro-Magic. Never happened. Too wet. It rained practically every day we were there (with the exception of the morning we took the Family Magic Tour!). This is a snap from that nights fireworks.

The second pic is from Illuminations, from the pier in the German pavilion.
