Enter If You Dare


This is a 5 shot HDR image of the Haunted Mansion ride at the Disneyland Resort.

This was taken a little before closing time so there was not a lot of people around, one thing that was odd though is all the strollers that were parked outside. We were taking the shot for about 20 minutes or so and no one came to claim them. Maybe they were not lucky enough to make it out of the mansion, we may never know.

You Spin Me Round and Round....


Here is a 3 shot HDR image of the Mickey's Fun Wheel, in Disneyland California Adventure. We then converted it to B&W.

The day was a bit cloudy and overcast which makes for good pictures, but the clouds were a bit dull and made the scene look strange with vibrant colors from the rides but kind of a dull sky. Converting it to Black and White really makes the whole thing pull together well.

One Is The Loneliest Number


Here is a rework of an old image we had. It is a single HDR image of the Lone Cypress and converted it to Black & White via Silver Efex Pro 2.

We were not happy with the color image especially since it was a hazy day. So we tried to convert it to black and white and were more pleased with the results.

The City of Love...


Well almost, this is an HDR image of the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas Nevada. It was then converted to Black and White using Silver Efex Pro 2.

Las Vegas is such a great city, where else can you visit New York, Paris, Italy, Egypt, etc... in just the span of a couple of miles? The replicas these casinos make of famous landmarks are amazing. Not only that you have the fun of everything else there is to do in the city, and plenty of photo spots.

A Great Sunset


This is a one exposure HDR image of a sunset taken on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu Hawaii.

This was such a great night for taking pictures, the clouds were very interesting, the sun was casting very nice light on them, and the beach that night was very peaceful, such a great way to end a day in Hawaii. One of our favorite things in Hawaii was to be at the beach for great sunsets like this. If you go be sure to check some out.

Sleeping Beauty Castle In B&W


This is a 3 shot HDR image of Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland, it was then converted to B&W.

This is another shot from the little area by Sleeping Beauty Castle where nobody really walk around. This was taken in the middle of summer when Disneyland was packed, but going to this little side area you are able to get a very nice shot like this one with a minimum amount of people in the shot.
