Only at sit down holidays, when they dress him up. ;)

The dinorama on the railroad at DL is not a good place for photosensitive people. When you folks get home please look at the pictures. See your reflection in the glass and person next to you contorting as they turn from your blinding light,

I remember a cloudy day years ago when I was on a prolonged business trip and happened to be taking a boat tour through the Soo Locks. There were people taking flash pictures, not realizing at the time (Instamatics and flash cubes) that having a flash cube installed actually affected the exposure setting.

I also saw people at night at the show area at Mt Rushmore (which was about 1500 feet from the faces) taking flash pictures of the faces.

People will never learn.

Big one. No handle. Shaped like a keg. :D:

SG's using flash on rides makes me want to put my speedlight on and turn it toward SG and use the test button to fire off a flash or two at them. The only downside is it would bother the non-sg's.

I came up with a better solution. Most Digital cameras and camcorders are sensitive to IR light which is invisible to the human eye. So if you go to an electronics supplier (like Radio Shack) and get a large number of IR LEDs (like are used in IR TV remotes) and make a large array of them running off a battery. Then put an extendable pole handle on it and you can hold this thing in the camera view, pointing at the camera. It would look to the eye like it is unlit. But the photos will have a glaring bright light in it as if you had held a flood light in the same location. It may even confuse the auto exposure to close down the iris to the point that the only thing visible will be the bright display and everything else will be black.

hey umm... where can I get these Mousekebeer things? I mean who wouldn't buy those? Now I finally understand this smilie: :barf:

Randy B you now probably will not here from Syndrome for a while. She will be in her lab making a device like you described and making it so she can easily get it into the parks and into shows and rides.
