Are you a professional photographer? Because everything about these has the quality and look of a professional.

And those cameras!!

[PoohsPal]

Oh my! Those are amazing! WIll you come on our next trip with us? ;) I'd love scrapping thos pics!!!!!

[MissBianca]

Kelly, that is without a doubt the best picture I have ever seen of the hat at MGM! And I think your avatar looks great too!

[Kelly Grannell]

Are you a professional photographer?
Yes, I am. I do product photography, concerts, promos, headshots including trip photography where a family (or a couple) hire me to take pictures for them while they're on vacation.

Oh my! Those are amazing! WIll you come on our next trip with us?
Why not? I love WDW or any other travels. Currently I'm travelling with two cameras at all time... literally (see the first and second cameras from the right in my signature)

without a doubt the best picture I have ever seen of the hat at MGM!
Thank you. That's a rather difficult shot. There were too many constraints when taking that picture. There was a stage in front of the hat obstructing the view of the hat from the ideal (if not cliche) angle and distance, the store under the head is doing stock count so there were lots of boxes, really ugly. So what I did was I laid on the ground, getting the proper angle and lock the angle using my tripod. It took me a very long time to get that one shot (I spent like 10 minutes to set up the shot)

A similar thing happen for the purple castle shot at the top, I was laying down on the floor taking that picture while shouting "Excuse me, watch out, somebody's on the floor here!"

[mickeefan]

Really great pictures and you have an unbelievable collection of cameras.
Is that your profession?

[roodad]

Wow! Amazing shots. I really dislike the big hat, but your photo could change my mind.

[MargaretJ]

Wonderful pictures! Welcome.

[Topaz]

Kelly these pictures are unbelieveable!!! Such quality.

Thanks for sharing:) :) :)

[BaciBecky]

OMG, Kelly! Gorgeous shots!! I'd be hard pressed to choose between the castle fireworks and the MGM hat..incredible!!

Thanks for posting...very enjoyable!

(Oh, and welcome!! :welcome: )

[BaciBecky]

feel free to use them. I'm honoured!

Thank you so much, Kelly! Your Wishes is now my desktop center background! Makes me smile to see it..

[Ursulinda]

Kelly, that is without a doubt the best picture I have ever seen of the hat at MGM! And I think your avatar looks great too!

Absolutely - WHAT SHE SAID! You are an artist!

[Tagrel]

Fantastic pictures Kelly - I just LOVE taking pictures around WDW, and would be thrilled to have half your talent! :yes: Your nighttime shots are perfect and exactly what I'd love to be able to do! I have a long way to go! ;)

Welcome to the site and thanks so much for sharing your art with us!

[Sheryl]

Incredible Kelly, what a talent you have. Welcome aboard!

[Kelly Grannell]

Really great pictures and you have an unbelievable collection of cameras.
Is that your profession?

Yup it is. Not a good year for me though, have to cancel my Disneyland trip. :cry:

But again, thank you all for such a warm welcome. If you have any question about photography and IF I know the answer, I'll be more than glad to help. Just a 'precaution', my answers will be based on objective and measurable things only, anything subjective can not be answered because there is no right or wrong in subjectivity. :confused:

Okay, I think I already scare people off. :yikes:

[MissBianca]

Not scared off at all Kelly! Although you are welcome to share opinions here as well. You've aready got me thinking about better camera angles. Thanks for describing the process you went through for that hat picture. How wonderful that circumstances helped you find the most amazing angle!

[MJTinNH]

Your photo's are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing and welcome to Tag's!

[Robin]

Wow! I'm jealous, those are great shots.

[Jimbolini1963]

Welcome to Tagrel, and those are outstanding shots. I've selected the picture of Main Street at night with the Christmas decorations, as my desktop background. Well done!

Jim

[Kelly Grannell]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[Kelly Grannell]

Thank you!

[roguepony]

Here are some more pictures. I hope I don't double post the pictures.

I not only am saving these -- especially that little Stitch plush, I WANT that little Stitch plush!

Yup it is. Not a good year for me though, have to cancel my Disneyland trip.

I have a suggestion for you: I've seen on a few Disney sites where they sell WDW photo collections on CD. Here's one of them: http://www.magicalmountain.net/WDWPictures/WDWPictures.asp

No offense to them because they have nice pictures, but yours are better. Maybe you should put out a photo collection. I'm not saying you'll get rich, but it'd be some money. And you could advertise your services to take family pictures in Disney too. (I live in Southern NJ, near the beaches. This is a big service for families too -- professional photos set on the beach.)

You can either do a little web site or sell on eBay. I'm a web designer; if I can help, just let me know. No charge; maybe a discount on your photo CD. :D

Or contact a site like Magical Mountain and offer to sell your work to enhance their own collections.

Just a thought. Look how excited we got over your collection here.

I just love looking at your pictures. Welcome to the Tag site.

Thank you for the suggestion, I've contacted them. We'll see what they'll offer. If the offer is bad, I may take up on your offer to create a website and sell my pictures over the site.

Cheers,
Kelly

I know I'm late (please see signature and avatar!) but I had to comment on the wonderful pictures you've posted. They are just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your work with everyone here!

[Kelly Grannell]

LOL! Thanks for the welcome... but hurry it up... you're already late! :p

[PixiePrincess]

I love your pictures... just one question :oops: what's the one of your avatar??

[Kelly Grannell]

it's my self portrait. The picture taken when I'm wearing my nightly oil-control mask. It's taken on a tripod on a white background with available light.

Then I made 3 copies of the picture, one to make the background pure-white, second to make my mask pure-white, third to retain the skin and hair colour tone.

After that I used Alienskin Exposure to lightly diffuse the picture, ICNet Filters unlimited to add the tint (the picture was never turned into B&W), add vignette, add scratches and wrinkled paper (exactly in that order).

The result is:

Spooky, huh?

[PixiePrincess]

it's my self portrait.

Spooky, huh?

ummm, yup :oops: It reminds me of a horror film character in a mask :razz: I'm sure with out the mask on and the added effects you're not scary looking

:lol:

Hey, wanna talk scary... I posted a picture of me in a bathing suit YIKES!

[Kelly Grannell]

ROTFLMAO !!! here's the version without all those layers.
