I'm amazed that nobody in the company has ever bothered to proofread that whole campaign. It's very obvious, really. Safe 'D' Begins with "S"!

I can see the logo now. A Disney "D" painted black and yellow stripes, with wings and a stinger. It's the "D safe" (full name D Bee Safe). :D:

Great idea!!! they could sell it as a new character, and make a movie, and have plushies, and... Just think you can claim that they stole it from you!!!

DW and I both have used photography for a number of years, hers is the artsy stufff, mine is a more..practical type. but its fun when you have the time!!
If you want to try panos again, there is a free program that is fantastic. it's called Autostitch (http://www.autostitch.net). It's VERY basic and has been a "demo" for many years now. but it works great and is free. You have to get a free upgrade every year or so, but it's easy and I have never had any problem with spam from the site.

Thanks!! I'll give it a try!! If its good enough, (and can prove we need it) I can get it for work!!! (hehehehe)

Just went to the site, REALLY IMPRESSIVE!!! I am going to rry it with my WDW photos!! I always "bracket" shotos (habit from work) and I got DW a digital that will shoot shots of three, so I told her to slowly move the camera when doing it, with image stabalization. Might be really cool!!!

Instead, if you can set your camera to "continuous" (many can) and use a very fast shutter speed to avoid motion blur, you can do a slow pirouette. Of course I just did a walking do-se-do around my camera on a tripod. By the end of my vacation I got rather good at holding the shutter and walking around the tripod at the right spped to get a pano in fairly short order. The biggest problem I had was pedestrians. Sometimes I would get half way around and a group would just HAVE to walk past me, which would have blocked almost half the pano, so I would stop shooting and hold until they moved on.

Yeah, SG's factor!!! I havn't tried the camera on continous yet, but it will take movies depending on how much memory I put in it!, upgraded to 4GB and the software that comes with it will allow you to edit out a frame as a still shot, so right there, even if some SG gets in the way, I can see that this software you sent me to would allow me to make it from that!!

(like I don't spend enought time on computers now!!)hehehe (no dear its for our VACATION!!! album!!)

Back from Traditions, something everyone here has had to go through of course.

I'm nicely enlightened about the WDW company and it's history.

I start training on Sunday.

Woot!
