And so concludes my weeks of nighttime Magic Kingdom shots with a wide open Main Street Train Station shot. It has been pretty fun pushing myself to go back into archives looking for shots to use to go with a theme. I think I'll try one again next week, probably from EPCOT.

I'm not usually one to feel this way, but I think this one looks better viewed large by hitting "L" on your keyboard. Thanks for lookin', and have a great day!

Day 4 in the theme of night photos of the Magic Kingdom brings us to Tomorrowland. I have shot this gate many times before, but I never thought to get it from this angle until this past year. I also was never lucky enough to get a nice big moon right over top of the scene. Thanks for lookin', and have a great day!!

For day 3 of this week's theme of night shots in the Magic Kingdom, I present the first shot this week to have a tighter composition. I don't usually spend a ton of nighttime in the parks with a tighter lens attached, but every once in a while it serves a major purpose. Getting the holiday dream lights to turn into bokeh is one of those purposes. Shot at f/2 with the Canon 135mm prime. Thanks for lookin', and have a great day!

Day 2 of this week's theme of Magic Kingdom nighttime photos brings us to the Haunted Mansion. I had never actually taken a shot at shooting the Haunted Mansion at night until my trip in August of 2011. It's actually kind of funny that after all the trips I've taken to WDW, I ended up shooting Disneyland's mansion first. Anywho, this one is definitely a tough one. Compositionally, there aren't many options that pop out at you. And then there are those colors. The electric blues on the building are very hard to get right. I think that is a theme in the Magic Kingdom as opposed to say, EPCOT. At least in World Showcase, I feel the lighting at night has a much more peaceful, earth tone style to it, while MK has all the bright blues and purples that pop out and become very difficult to process. I'm not completely thrilled with this shot, but as it was my first attempt (and the only one I've got), I post it today. Thanks for lookin', and have a great day!

I don't know how long this will last, but at least for this week, I'm going to piggyback on what a lot of my friends here are doing and have a theme. This week's theme will be night shots from the Magic Kingdom. Here we have La Fontaine de Cindrellon. Compositionally, I have some beef with this shot. I would have liked to include the top spire completely right above Cinderella. The purples were also a monster in post, but by doing this in a bracket, it was possible. For those with a keen eye, Todd Hurley is also somewhere in this frame.
