Disney Storytellers Statue

This is a shot of the Disney Storytellers Statue at the Disneyland California Adventure Park. 

I would have liked to try different angles or even shooting closer to the statue rather then the wide angle  I have here. But just as I was getting to my last shots here I felt security right over my shoulder and after the shots were finished up I was asked to leave the park. I do like the shot I got but it would have been interesting to try other setups, I guess I will have to try the next time I am in the park. 

The statue is supposed to be when Walt Disney first arrived to Hollywood in the 1920's so I thought converting it to black and white would fit the mood.

Here are a couple of pictures of Carthay Circle restaurant inside Disney California Adventure. I did not have much time to shoot this place without people before security moved me along, so I was not able to try any other angles.

I could not decide if I liked the color or the black and white version so I included both versions. I do think that the B&W is a little more true to the scene since this is supposed to be a replica of the movie theatre that Snow White first premiered.

If you are here try the restaurant, it's a little pricey but the food is pretty good. They also have a very nice bar on the bottom floor, great for hanging out and getting a nice drink while in the park.

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.

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.

The Tower Of Terror

This is a 7 exposure HDR image of the Hollywood Tower of Terror and the Disneyland California Adventure Park.

Here is another version of the ride that we took this time in color. Again this was a difficult shot, because for some reason the camera on the tripod attracted people to walk towards it. Yes people do have to get around but they specifically walked towards the camera, go figure. Oh well we were still able to pull of a nice shot.

Cannery Row

Well sort of, this is a 3 shot HDR image of a Cannery Row replica at Disneyland's California Adventure Park.

The whole park has different themes of California with replicas of different landmarks, this one can be found over in the food area. Some people might say the park is a little redundant being that it is in California, and some of these landmarks are only a few hour drive away, but we like it. This park also has for the most part the better rides of the two parks as well.

Come Stay With Us...

This is a 7 shot HDR, converted to B&W and then textures were added of the Twilight Tower of Terror at the California Adventure Park, in the Disneyland Resort.

We really wanted to get the theme of the ride, which was this is a 1930's Hollywood Hotel so we went for the old time look with the textures and B&W. This is such a fun ride, one of our favorites, couple interesting facts. First is the ride is randomized each time up, so the pattern of rise and falling is never the same. Second you are not dropped in the elevator, but instead pulled, which creates a bit of levitation, so cool. If you are here go on this ride!!!

Disney's California Dremin'

Here is a 7 shot HDR image of Disney's Paradise Pier, inside the California Adventure Theme Park at the Disneyland Resort.

We took a recent trip down south and this was one of our stops. Disneyland has so many interesting things to take pictures of, and they work will in HDR. This was shot from a little area next to a plant, just after the World of Color Show. So it provided a very nice view, with no people in it.
