Ride of the Phoenix

Ride of the Phoenix

Uploaded: January 17, 2009

Description



One of my favorite shots from Animal Kingdom/Everest in Disney World/Orlando!
Couldn't resist that blue & fancy bicycle,so quick snapped a shot & caught up w/ my peeps.
I'm guessing this is the Yeti's wheels! ha!
Everest is one awesome ride!!
A bit of tweaking with contrasts & a slight crop.
Hope it looks ok to everyone...we got new monitors & I really struggle on how to calibrate them.
Would've loved to have had my Canon with, but we only brought my hubby's Kodak along.
It was the only day that looked like it could storm & all we got was a nice rain.

Exif: F Number: 3.4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/90 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 8.00 mm, Model: KODAK DX7630 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA
