This is my first attempt at shooting fireworks as well as my first attempt at the Magic Kingdom.
I don't know how anyone can get quality shots at Disney, especially where I was located in front of Cinderella's castle. The amount of rudeness here was astounding. Foreigners have no concern about who they stand in front of. A child sitting at your feet or one in a stroller, it makes no difference to them. If there is a square foot to stand in, it's theirs.
Needless to say, I wasn't prepared to take firework shots. With no tripod and no room to maneuver I was limited to hand-held photography. Which is why after taking about 50 shots, only two or three seemed post-quality and they are barely average.
I tried metering by aiming at a bright burst and then snapping at the next one to get a max shutter speed of 15-20. Otherwise all of these would have been 1-3 sec. speeds. Definitely not hand-held quality speeds.
EXIF INFO:
Exposure 0.077 sec (1/13)

On April 11, 2010 the Museum hosted a meetup for Flickr photographers in the Magic! exhibition.
The photos in this set are of the photographers in action - check out the HMNS Flickr pool for photos from the photographers. If you missed this one, we'll be announcing future meetups there as well - so check back soon!
About the Exhibit:
Though their methods are enshrouded in secrecy, magicians combine the art of performance with a variety of scientific disciplines, including math, physics and psychology, to create their dazzling effects and fascinating illusions.
The Houston Museum of Natural Science's new exhibition, Magic!, examines how science and magic are intertwined, tapping into our universal desire to know "How does that work?" Magic is the perfect subject to inspire people of all ages—especially kids—to learn about the science behind the magic, and the world around them.
Please note: photography is prohibited in the Magic exhibition during normal public hours. If you'd like to take part in our meetups, join the HMNS group for event announcements.
This is in the right queue area for Pirates of the Caribbean in the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort. The significance of this chess game lies in the genius of Marc Davis. The board is arrayed in such a way that every move constitutes an endless game of chess.
At one point during a refurb the board was moved and the layout was changed. Luckily, they were able to set up the board after finding some original sketches.

This is one room from "Magical Realms", the famous store in the Bronx, NY, belonging to Lady Rhea, a priestess /sorcerer also known as "The Witch Queen of New York".
She is a Wiccan High Priestess in the Gardnerian tradition. Since 1992, she owns this store, where she reads tarot or performs rituals, but overall it's where she elaborates her widely known enchanted candles, spells for almost anything that involve the use of fresh flowers, honey, essential oils, carving the candle with the signs of deities involved and covering the pattern with colored glitter for a final product of remarkable beauty.
This is one of the rooms for the tarot readings, and it contains diverse elements of different believes working together (an Italian Madonna doll, a Catholic saint, and a Hindu deity).

Building on Legacy55's idea of Magic Carpet Monday's instead of Monorail Monday's (which everyone has picked up on and now has grown to Macro Monday, Little Mermaid Monday, Fying Friday, Genie Freeing Friday, Street Rat Saturday) here is today's offering.
The elusive Carpet from Aladdin The Musical Spectacular.
Carpet very rarely stands still (a pain for a manual focus lens) and tends to avoid the light. It's rare to catch her in the light like this.
Here Carpet is showing her displeasure with Aladdin for breaking his pinky promise to free Genie. I believe carpet is indicating that Aladdin can kiss her wool backing. After all she is is a Persian Carpet, right?

Kids could also do magic ... :) Well, this is not really a magic. He and his friends are swimming in this lake and they have no hesitance to do various tricks and attraction ... just to satisfy us, the amateur photographers ... :) No money involve, all they want is a sneak peak from our camera once they performed ... :)
Oh by the way ... seeing them swimming, I could see that they feel that they just playing in their bathroom!
