I’ve read that one of the issues with mirrorless cameras is battery life. Today I’ve watched the battery nosedive from 80% to 40% in just a few hours.
I’m already through todays roll of film, and we have many hours to go today, so we are transitioning to the point and shoot for a while. No clue how much juice that sucker has left, but I’ll use it or lose it, boss.
I took a bunch of film pics on our first Epcot stop last week. I didn’t get the huge golf ball thing though.
I’ve made up for it today and the some. Sorry about that.
I watched a King Jvpes video yesterday where he suggested setting the ISO one stop too low if you’re using Fuji Superia. He said the colors will pop in a cool way. Five minutes prior to hearing him say that I had loaded a fresh roll of Fuji Superia. So I am trying it out. Oh look, something new to obsess over! Wheeeeeee!!
We were at Magic Kingdom until 1:00am this morning. We snuck in some sleep and are now heading over to Epcot again.
The kids are a smidge under the weather with a stomach thing so it could be a quiet day for us. We will see.
ADDENDUM: Jen and I are in line for Spaceship Earth. We are heading into the big giant Epcot golf ball looking thing!
I’m about to try something crazy, photographically speaking. I’m going to try shooting the Magic Kingdom fireworks show in manual mode.
Woah… be afraid.
Exposure compensation like a boss, babie.
This photo contains a 34 year old in-joke that even those in the know have probably forgotten about. It’s proof that I’m still a 17 year old douche canoe.
Wow… yesterday kicked my ass.
Jen and I left the resort to go to Hollywood Studios at a little before 8:00am. We got there before the park opened, but in time for early entry for resort guests. Yeah… privilege. The kids met up with us an little while later. They were running the Disney World Marathon so we got to see a bunch of runners on the course on the way in. That was really cool.
We did my three favorite rides, Rise of the Resistance (Star Wars), Smugglers Run (also Star Wars), and Toy Story Mania (not Star Wars). We also rode the new Mickey and Minnie’s Run Away Rail Road which sits pretty close to my list of favorite rides too. Also, Star Tours (Star Wars). I must have ridden that ride on some previous trip, but I really couldn’t remember it. Guess I’m gettin’ old.
Speaking of old, we didn’t get back to our room until about 11:00pm and I went straight to sleep. I didn’t even wait for my watch to charge so I could track sleep stats. It was insane. I was so thoroughly tired I couldn’t function anymore.
Today we are going over to the Polynesian, our first Disney resort from 2019, for a character breakfast. My camera batter is charging because I didn’t stay awake long enough to charge it last night. It will be fine though. After that we’re going back to Magic Kingdom for the morning. We have tickets to an after close event there late tonight so we’ll probably spend the afternoon resting up in the hotel room. We’ll be out until around 1:00am tonight having Magic Kingdom virtually to ourselves.
As of right now though, it’s 6:47am and I am the only one of us awake. I’m typing this in the dark while waiting for the gigantic image files from my Z5 to upload to Flickr. It’s gonna take a while.
Taking the new ride for a spin.
Todays a big day for me. We are heading over to Hollywood Studios where I will get to spend some quality time fully immersed in Star Wars. Galaxy’s Edge awaits where I will fly on the Millennium Falcon, face off against Kylo Ren, and maybe… just maybe… meet Baby Yoda.
May The Force be with us all!
