I like the crispy hash browns.  Most places serve up undercooked mush.

I also wanted to thank Jeff and Jennifer for getting the Christmas Carol VIP seating.  I would have never waited for that show and it wound up being spectacular.

It was a great addition to the event.

Christmas Carol is a wonderful show. It is the first thing Rachel and I did when we went down there two weeks ago. It's an amazing production for a theme park stage show.

I tested out a new super wide angle lens Friday night and posted a couple of the shots in the SDC gallery.

These were shot at ISO 400, F 4, and a shutter speed of 1/6th of a second.  That shutter speed is as low as I can go with hand held shots.

Incredible pictures, Jason! That made me want to experiment with my little Cannon Powershot A570 IS (point-and-shoot). This question is not directed to just Jason, but does anyone know of maybe a nice website or maybe just knows of the optimal settings for given conditions? I'm primarily concerned more with night shots, but I could improve my day shots too :)

Cool... I will have to check that out too.  I recently got an awesome camera as a gift from my company, Nikon D40, and I am still learning about all it's bells and whistles.

It was a Great Time Jennifer. Good Job on Getting the VIP for Christmas Carol because as long as that line was I would have never waited in it and am glad I saw it. It was a very good show.
