    Craig I can't believe the colors that are in this shot. ; It's funny how the sky even matches the lighting in Tomorrowland.

    thanks so much everone!
    I love when I get the "white" light on the castle over all the other castle colors.

    This is straight out of the camera too, which I always love over doing it in post.
    I set the white balance to shade to make sure the sky was very red/orange, and underexposed a half stop from the matrix meter to make sure the colors stayed saturated.

    used a tripod for 1/2 second exposure at f6.7 (or something) at iso 200. I cant remember which lens this is? either the 18-200 or the 80-400?

    Super cool Craig! Nice work with the white balance adjustment, I would have never thought of that.

    thanks Paul and Gary!

    the white balance adjustment is one I use all the time, since I shoot in jpeg, I like to do it in camera.

    WOW...Don't know how I missed this one! ; That is just legendarily beautiful! ; I love those color skies, and capture them whenever possible, and even had the luck once to try a few shots from the Contemporary roof with the sky that color. ; But the clincher is to catch the castle lit so crisp and white at the top, and with the lovely little bits of color highlighting it. ; Every shot I've had was with the castle red, purple, blue, etc...and they never get this crisp detail and lovely contrast. ; Wonderful shot - that should be nice and big on a wall somewhere!!
