Previously I posted a picture of the blue tunnel that is supposed to be like you are blasting off to space:

Disney - Space Shot (Explored)

This one, the red tunnel, you are coming back to Earth. It is at the end of the ride...

Very tough shot--and I really mean that. Did you get it on the first try? I'm going to be very jealous if you did. I've tried this shot at least twice per trip for the past three trips, and I have NEVER gotten anything worthwhile, let alone this good (mine are always terribly out of focus and REALLY terribly composed). Seriously, I really am in envy and awe of this shot.

Tom - thanks a bunch! I tried this on the November trip on a couple rides through but wasn't all that happy with the results. But this time through in December I finally got one... so I guess you could say it took three rides. Shutter priority 1/30 at 18mm, auto ISO, AF continuous - set the focus point to the left so that it would lock on to the "walls" of the tunnel.

Nice shot - it's like I'm right there in the tunnel! Now if we only had the sound effect to go with it.

Great shot. I tried to get the blue tunnel self-portrait like WDWFigment , but I couldn't get my camera to focus before we launched. Didn't think about shooting the red tunnel.

Excellent! (I meant to say that in my coolest Crush voice from Finding Nemo). Though I haven't tried this, I'll bet that it's an extremely hard shot to get. Great job; I love it!

Wowsa, wowsa, wowsa! I feel like I'm really there! This is so PERFECT Joe. I was thinking about you yesterday. They need to at least let you into any Disney park for free. Preferably, they should hire you, and pay you!
