I have a fairly good idea when pictures occur on most of the rides, just curious if there was a definitive list out there somewhere.....I have searched for a bit and could not find anything.

Splash Mountain - Just as you take the last plunge
Buzz Lightyear - ?
Space Mountain - At the end of the tunnel
Test Track - Just when the doors open?
Dinasaur - When T-rex pops out?
Tower of Tower - At the start of the 3rd drop?
Rock n' Roller Coaster - Just after take off?
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train - ?
Expedition Everest - After you go down backwards, stop and go forwards?
 
Attractions with "Ride Photos" taken of guests during the ride
(there are only a very few):

MK- Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
MK- Splash Mountain
MK- Space Mountain
MK- 7DMT- (There are also a couple of video clips taken during this ride.)

DHS- Tower of Terror (There are also a couple of video clips taken during this ride.)
DHS- Rock'nRoller Coaster

Epcot- Test Track
Epcot- Frozen Ever After

AK- Expedition Everest
AK- Dinosaur

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is a list of where the photos are taken, but if you're not fully familiar with the attraction,
you still may not be able to anticipate exactly when it will occur.
Just know that there will be a bright strobe FLASH when the photo is taken.

MK- Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin-
In the room with the very large Emperor Zurg in his command pod.

MK-Splash Mountain-
Right after you crest the Big Drop.

MK-Space Mountain-
Near the beginning of the ride. First, there's a BLUE tunnel, and then
go around a corner and start the uphill climb.
The camera is where you round that corner and start going up.

MK- 7DMT-
During the biggest drop. (After the in-mine animatronics scene.)

DHS- Tower of Terror-
At ONE of the points when your elevator's doors are open at the top
outdoor view.

DHS- Rock'nRoller Coaster-
At the point of LAUNCH.

Epcot-Test Track-
Just before your car heads through the door to the outdoor run.

Epcot- Frozen Ever After-
Just as you go down the main forward DROP
(right after you see the Marshmallow snow monster breathe fog.)

AK- Expedition Everest-
Right after you crest the Big Drop (after the shadow of the Yeti is seen.)

AK- Dinosaur-
Just as the Carnitaurus makes his last GRAB for you.

The one on Buzz is when they tell you to "concentrate". The first time or two we didn't realize that was when the pic was snapped and we looked SO serious because we were "concentrating" like they told us.
 


Frozen Ever After and Seven Dwarves Mine Train both have them, but they are transferred directly to your My Disney Experience App. There is no where to view them after the ride.
 
I've definitely seen pics from FEA, but I haven't ridden yet to know where it happens.
 


Where does the Frozen picture happen? Anyone want to share one?

Just as you go down the main forward DROP (right after you see the Marshmallow snow monster breathe fog.)
 
Since we try to ride Space Mountain a gazillion times on kid trips, we have a tradition where we do something different for the camera each time. We've pretended to be sleeping, flexing, fish face, YMCA, zombies, etc. If it's legal and in good taste, we've probably done it.
