Walt Disney World Castle in Orlando. Taken from across the lake and in the pitch black of the night. With three exposures to capture the sky and foreground while an under-exposed to capture the castle. Exposure 30 seconds, f8 and iso 400.
The long exposure and the “higher” ISO permitted me to capture quite more light from the foreground, which actually was pitch black. I loved how the clouds were moving, it almost gives it a nordic lights look.
I’ve been meaning to post this picture for a while but since I changed computer I hadn’t installed Photoshop and this picture definitely requires some photoshopping. Yesterday I finally got the new Photographer package of Creative Cloud for $10 a month and went through a few tutorial videos from Serge Ramelli to rapidly get started.
The results are pretty satisfying. Hope you enjoy it as well.
It was the first time in Disney World for my son who had just turned 2 – he was very very impressed, but mainly with Mickey Mouse. While getting there and back I had some time to read up on Walt Disney’s views on the world some of his original plans for EPCOT and the control of experience. I must admit it changed my look on Disney.
