Matterhorn at Night by Michael Via Flickr: I kept on looking at the Matterhorn every night I was in the park trying to think of how I wanted to capture it, and this shot finally jumped out at me as I was leaving the park after Forever and shooting in Tomorrowland. This is a 4 shot merge in Lightroom.
A Diamond Celebration by Michael Via Flickr: This night at Disneyland my goal was simple, get some shots of the castle with the array of spotlights on behind it. Capturing the photos...not nearly as simple. I realized very quickly that these were going to require a lot of merging/layering, something I've never really mastered. They've sat on my computer since September, never really having the desire or time to frustrate myself with the process, until today. I decided to give the Creative Cloud versions of LR a try, and figured I would test the Merge to HDR function with a few Disneyland photos. This one actually turned out fairly well, although I'm certainly entirely happy with it (the glow around the turret tops is something that requires processing in PS, so I'll be revisiting this). This is a merge of 5 images, auto-toned and then adjusted afterwards to bring everything down and under control.
Paint the Night by Michael Via Flickr: This parade is without a doubt my favorite Disney parade I've seen. The intro gives me chills, the music is awesome, and the floats are exactly what a modern nighttime parade should have.
Welcome to Tomorrowland by Michael Via Flickr: The Tomorrowland entrance at Disneyland is a really neat thing, and can be really fun to photograph day and night.
Pumpkin King Scarecrow by Michael Via Flickr: The Pumpkin King scarecrow in front of Haunted Mansion for the Holiday overlay is really cool. The ride itself is even better, and I wish we could have it (or a seasonal overlay as good as it) here in Florida as well.
DJ Car in Paint the Night by Michael Via Flickr: I really enjoyed the Paint the Night parade, and the floats were really cool. The brightness of the LEDs also made it much easier to photograph than the MSEP here in WDW. The Cars section with Mack was cool, with DJ on the lift platform in back.
