Thanks a lot! Numbers 1, 3, 6, & 7 are all 3 shot HDR processed in Photomatix and the rest are all single shots with levels and adjustments made in Photoshop CS3 using Topaz Adjust.

Here are a couple more:

[vitacura]

[theextremist04]

All I have to say is WOW!

Welcome to POTN, Jamian!

Your first set of pictures is impressive - you have captured the "Disney colors" well. :D

You have noticed that I have changed a number of embedded images into links. Our forum rules allow only 8 embedded images per thread. Please see the Image Posting Rules (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=194511).

Nice shots! Looks like you went on your own and had the park for yourself. Where are all the kids?

[Jamian]

Thanks everyone. I did take this trip solo, specifically for photography fun. My wife gets tired of stopping every two seconds waiting for me to take photos. I haven't edited any guests out of these photos. At Disney, like everywhere else, early morning and late at night are the primo times for photography. It works in two ways really, the light is the best and there are significantly less guests to work around. Here are a few more (linked now, sorry Olli):

Would you mind sharing your setting for the fireworks shot you have in your original post? I am just amazed by it!

Right thing to do, Jay. ;):D

[TheBigDog]

great shots Jay!

Absolutely, I shot it with a 40D and 10-22 lens with a circular polarizer. My camera settings were 11mm - 7 sec @ f/9 ISO 100. Had I not used the polarizer, however, I definitely would have only exposed for around 4 seconds or so. I also punched up the saturation in Lightroom and cropped it because 11mm was too wide.

Cheers,
