My Kingdom for a Zoom Lens

Can you see the kitty in this picture? I’ll probably crop it someday, but oh would a zoom lens have come in handy on the Animal Kingdom Safari yesterday.

Today will see us at Hollywood Studios. Will it also see us at Epcot? Who knows. If it does, there will be 1000000000 pictures of the giant golf-ball-looking-thing in the near future.

Animals

I redefined the word nerd. We went on the safari ride thing at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I had my digital camera and my dad’s film camera and I alternated between the two like a dweeb. One animal on film, the next on digital, wash, rinse, repeat.

Neither camera had a zoom lens. All of the pics are going to need serious cropping. Also, the ride was bumpy so guaranteed none of the film shots will come out at all.

WHEEEEE!!!

After Hours

We did an after hours event at Magic Kingdom last night. The crowd seemed bigger than our previous after hours things, but it was still pretty small. It’s almost, though not quite, like having the amusement park to ourselves.

We rode Space Ranger Spin twice. The second time I did pretty well.

Digital

The rule is that I start the day on film, shoot one roll, then switch to digital. The one roll is done, so now Dad’s camera makes way for my camera.

Am I an insufferable nerd? Why yes, yes I am.

Also, as usual, I won at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. As usual.
