Hi Susan,

No worries at all if you want one for a desktop and it isn't used commercially.

If you DM me which photo you like along with your email address I'll dig out a higher resolution version for you and email it over.

I don't know if it's too early to start thinking about Christmas but if you want a Christmas desktop I took a couple of Osborne Lights photos specifically for this use.

The fifth photo down on this thread: http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/topic_34985.asp (the arched windows)

and

The fourth photo down on this thread: http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/topic_16576.asp (the lights)

Hi Crush. From memory I think I shot these with a 24-120mm VR (Nikon's equivalent of Canon's IS).

If you want the full story I wrote it up for the Florida Guide: http://www.orlandovillas.com/florida_guide/photographing-wishes-without-a-tripod.aspx

And if you aren't bored at the end of that page there's an equivalent for how to set about photographing illuminations if you have a tripod and a bit of time available: http://www.orlandovillas.com/florida_guide/photographing-illuminations.aspx

With your two lenses you might find yourself a bit strung out. If you are hand holding I'd always say to go with an IS lens. Everything is so dark that you are constantly fighting against longer shutter speeds. 90mm won't give you the wide view to capture the complete display. Switching to your 18-55mm you'll get a much better range and field of view ... but lose the IS

If I had to choose I'd say go with the 18-55mm, set your ISO as high as it will go and if poss try not to stray too far below 1/20th of a second. At 18mm you should be pretty stable at 1/20th. At 55mm it's a bit touch-and-go. Give it a twirl and see how you get on.

Good luck.

Steve.
