Enjoying a 6 day staycation at the moment so hit WL one last time with some friends on Saturday. ; Some pics from the visit. Wonder Mountain The Bat - and a hidden Mickey ; Leviathan - Experimenting with the miniature setting ..another shot of Leviathan, earlier in the day when the skies were clear another HDR experiment with The Bat Vortex in a slightly different light - HDR experiment a great cloud formation that I just had to grab Wild Beast a few of my friends surviving Flight Deck ..another shot of Leviathan wearing it's fall colors Mighty Canadian Minebuster, with a twist
Some of these have fantastic colors. ; The few times I tried, I haven't even come close to getting these kind of colors. ; What program did you use?
Like the miniature shot. ; I want to do something like that at WDW, but it always seems either I can't get far enough away enough, or I can't get a good "miniature angle". ; The best ones I've seen come from fly-overs and resort upper floors. The red Bat HDR is great.
All of these spent a little time inside Snapseed which I just started using today, some of them also passed through Photomatix; and then they all made a stop in Lightroom before ending up here. ; Somehow my watermarks didn't attach though so Lightroom has angered me at this moment ; Which ones in particular have the colors you have been looking for ?
This was the first, and probably last time I will try a miniature with the in camera option - I found the transitions in focus very harsh (pics not posted) and will probably just do this in post in the future. ; Years ago people used to be able to walk up the mountain and get some great elevated shots of the park but this attraction was closed. ; Wish Wonderland had an observation tower like Cedar Point.. oh wait.. they just blew that up... ; So sad that so many of the elevated vantages from abroad have been coming down. ; From CP's tower, to their cable cars.. Disney got rid of their cable cars.. ; pretty soon I am gonna have to ask a tall patron to let me sit on their shoulders. Glad you enjoy that Bat pic - it really REALLY stunk before processing, so glad it came out as it did.
I'm with you on the Disney high spots - I'm always looking for any way possible to get a higher vantage point in the Disney parks - I wish they had more towers, 2nd floor or rooftop accesses, etc. ; I'm always clamoring to the highest points in MK I can find - riverboat top deck, Columbia Harbor house 2nd floor, Peoplemover, etc...but nothing gets as high as I'd like!
