Thanks very much! Couldn't see one there but got one from ebay, probably at a higher price. Never mind

DAY 3! That last day.

Sorry for the delay guys - been packing all my things up in my dorm ready to move out.

But yes the last day - we got up, packed and checked out - the bus was there and so I made Ashley run and just tell the guy wait. And he was kind enough even though checking out only took a few seconds. Another lovely stay in the Hotel - 3 Stars. :thumbs:

Todays photography "theme" was: Photos of all the window displays and other stuff I haven't taken yet. Ha.

We then went to Small world and sat outside the ice-cream place and just rested waiting for characters. We then walked back through Fantasyland and saw Peter - I waved and said Hi and he said did I want any photos and I tried but my battery died. He frowned and said--- maybe later!
Which I did get. We were just sitting after we went on Peter Pans Flight near the Carosel and I said "If hes not here in 5 minutes well go" ... and i just saw a patch of green through the crowd and ran over.. he smiled and I said I've got working so I got some photos. THANK YOU PETER! Love you. :peter:

We then went down to see the 20th Celebration train again. And I saw a certain someone but I cannot say who... All I know... that he like to sweep chimneys. Ha.

We also went back up to get our photos and more shopping and I took some video at the top of main-street - then realised the train was going to come out one last time - so I got more photos and then we followed and I saw my fan again! HE WORKS THERE! It was lovely to see him again. =]

We then went to Toad Hall as it's ALWAYS closed.

Then we said goodbye and headed to the Hotel to see the decent of the stairs... which was this time... a decent of the stairs.

LOVE your photo's how do you get the colours so vivid is it down to the camera?

mickeymouse · June 15, 2012, 08:51:24 PM

Brilliant, how much are they charging for pins and laneyards (if you can remember?)

Quote from: "andlorna"LOVE your photo's how do you get the colours so vivid is it down to the camera?

I edit them - I sometimes change the creative style on my camera to vivid but this batch I shot in RAW then edited each individual photo. =]

Quote from: "mickeymouse"Brilliant, how much are they charging for pins and laneyards (if you can remember?)

The average pin is about 6 euros - some are 8. Limited Editions are 10-13 euros. Depends on what you buy. I cannot remember lanyards - I didn't buy one - I think they are about 13 Euros. Some might be cheaper or more. I cannot remember.

Thank you all again. =]

Great trip report and an extra good read/view just two weeks before going myself

Your photos are great and vibrant. Some of them make me think.. Are you doing HDR? Or is it simply just adjustments of contrast/saturation?
