Photos like the one below, taken in the Beauty and the Beast Meet and Greet Library in Epcot's France pavilion showing some of the famous Disney detail, used to come out blurry and underexposed back in the days I shot film on my trips to Walt Disney World. I either didn't have a fast film of ISO 400 or better in my camera or a "slow" lens. With today's digital cameras allowing ISO settings up to 6400 and Image Stabilized lenses, I can now enjoy photographing in low light situations in all the Disney parks and resorts when needed.

Nikon D70/18-200VR, 1/30s, f/3.5, ISO 1600, EV +0.3, 18mm focal length
Books from left to right are Little Red Riding Hood, Grimm (as in the Brothers Grimm), Perrault (Charles Perrault, the Frenchman who wrote many French fairy tales including Cinderella - he's the reason we have the glass slipper - it's actually a mistranslation from the old French) and King Arthur. Research done by my Disney trivia lovng and French honor student daughter, Krystal.
It doesn't hurt that I've learned to hold my camera very steady, too.

I have been a bunch of times to Epcot and I don't know where in the France pavilion this is at. Is it somewhere in one of the shops? Would love to know for my next stop to France.
Scott replies: Hi, Amanda! It's attached to the perfume shop, La Signature, and across from the wine shop, Les Vins De France. As you walk towards the entrance to the theater, it's on the right side behind the window featuring the Beauty and the Beast story.
