Paradise Pier Another Look

Here is another HDR image of Paradise Pier at Disney's California Adventure. There is just so many nice angles to capture around this area. We got lucky enough to capture Mickey's Fun Wheel in motion, most of our other shots it had been not moving.

The Back Side Of The Ferry Building

This is an HDR of the back side of the San Francisco Ferry Building, it was then converted to black and white.

I was barley able to get this shot, apparently the pier I shot this from closes at a certain time, I was in the middle of my shots and security was hurrying me up, and of course being night the exposures were taking awhile. I was able to stall enough to get all the shots that I wanted to get.

Bay Bridge Lights

This is a HDR image of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, with an art project lighting up the cables that connect the towers. This is a project that will go on for two years, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Bay Bridge. The cost of the project was 8 million dollars all funded by the artist, and the lights during the span are never supposed to repeat their pattern.

I got lucky to get this shot, on the night I went up there, there was a world wide darkness, I don't recall what the occasion was but even Las Vegas was dark. So when I arrived here the lights were not running so I didn't think I would get the shot. I stopped in for a bite to eat, and by the time I came out the lights were on.

San Francisco Painted Ladies At Night

Here is an HDR image of the San Francisco Painted Ladies just after sunset, shot from Alamo Square Park. If you watched the old show Full House, this is the park they are hanging out in during the opening montage. This was also a nice clear night so downtown was visible in the background.

Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln

This is a HDR image of Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln at Disneyland, it was then converted to black and white.

This is my first memory of Disneyland, as a kid we my family made their way out here for the first time, and after a 8 hour car ride the day before, I could not be more excited to arrive and start with all the fun. My Dad however had us go here first which was torture, who wants to see some history as a kid at Disneyland? Well now that I am older I have an appreciation for history, especially presidential history, I have come to enjoy this attraction.

Closing Time At Flo's V8 Cafe

This is an HDR image of Flo's V8 Cafe in Disneyland California Adventure. This is part of the new Cars Land expansion that they created. They really did a fantastic job of turning this place into what you would expect to see if you were walking around in the Cars movie. I did not have a chance to eat at this resturant perhaps another time.

Disney Grizzly River Run Mill

This is an HDR image of the mill at the Grizzly River Run ride at Disneylands California Adventure. This is a nice shot to get, interesting and being that it's set out in water you don't have to worry about anyone walking into your frame. Amazing how Disney makes such subtle details that unless you pay attention you might miss, the rock formation in the right hand side if you look is in the formation of a Grizzly Bear.

Disneyland City Hall

This is an HDR image of City Hall at the Disneyland Resort. One of the first things you see walking in and one of the last things you see leaving.

This was the first time we got to shoot the park after closing, and what an experience it was, seeing main street completely empty was something else. The security was very nice as well at this point the park had been closed for an hour and a half and they finally told me it was the last shot it was time to leave because we were the last guests in the park. Another one who had been earlier asking me about the photos asked how much longer we would be. When I told him we had been told to leave he apologized.

Sleeping Beauty Castle Two Looks

Here are a couple of shots of the the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland. They are both 3 shot HDR images, the second one we converted to infrared. I'm not really sure which one is better so that is why I'm posting both.

This was taken just before a fireworks show for the evening so the castle was roped off so nobody could walk in. The cast members were nice enough to let me get close to get this shot. So it was a great chance to get a shot of the castle with nobody in the shot.

Paradise Pier Disneyland

This is a 3 shot HDR image of Paradise Pier at Disneyland's California Adventure.

Taking up photography as a hobby you really seem to notice more that you would otherwise miss. Like this shot for example, I have been to the park a few times before but I never had caught this view. It's because I was searching out locations I got to see this hidden little area. It is in an area as well that unless you ride a specific ride you might completely miss this.
