Hey guys,
I was bored and thought I spread some more feel-good vibes by starting a "Best Picture" competition.
Round One is pictures of DLRP's legendary ride - Space Mountain: Mission 2.
Here's my effort - can you beat it?

Smoke, recoil, closing bay door, ahh... bliss...

I don't know just think it has a bit of a hollywood effect, looming from the trees :P
Remember though SM was closed for nearly every day i was there so i had a bit of a disadvantage [/excuse]
here we go my best photo!

Its funny, it never really dawned on my before how much the whole Mountain looked like a U.F.O.!
Interesting little side note - I've just watched the Colin Baker "Doctor Who" series called "Trial of a Time Lord" and it mentioned that Mr Baker opened a indoor-rollercoaster at the Blackpool Pleasure Beach called "Space Mountain". I can only remember it being called "Space Invader" - did Disney force them to change the name?

Clicking on the pictures will take you to their flickr pages... where you can see larger versions and I have lots of other DLP (and WDW and Disneyland) pictures there :)
Wow, that sky on your day picture is amazing, almost looks photoshopped!
All the other pics are great too, very nice and I don't even like the usual sight of Space Mountain :lol:

That's because it is. It is called HDR (High dynamic range imaging (//http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging)) and is a very popular effect these days: HDR at Google Images (//http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=hdr&gbv=2&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g10)
I think these are my favourites:

Yes, my picture is HDR :) Although I try to make them look more "real" than most HDRs look. I LOVE DLP's Space Mountain... I think it is tied with Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant as my favorite photography subject across all of the Disney parks I have been to. Some great pictures here :)
