My Disney HDR shots

[nickelmedia]

Being in Orlando, I do get to Disney quite often and am always looking for an opportunity to add more "magic".

Comments welcome!

#2 is amazing. It looks surreal, like a painting.

[Derrick_SA]

nice, did you make "fake" HDR images, or take mulitple exposures on set?

thanks,
Derrick

These are all 3 exposure HDR shots. I didn't have a decent tripod for any of these yet, as I just got my gitzo last week. Looking forward to going back out!

I like all of them... #2 looks a little over saturated on my monitor. #5 is def. my favorite

[FlyingPhotog]

Interesting approach.

However, if the skies over Disney really looked like that, Walt would never ever have gotten a child in the gate! :shock:

#3 is very cool, it almost has a 3D effect to it

[DaveH76]

1, 2 and 3 are excellent, good job :)

[squiLL]

i thought they all were amazing! very nice work!

[MikeFairbanks]

Number two and four are amazing. Great work.

[crimsonblack]

Awesome! Nicely done. Disney never looked so gooood.

[Kaigler]

Great work. As a huge fan of Disney and Disney photography I can say with great confidence that your work here is brilliant. I'm a fan.

[nonameowns]

[Viva-photography]

FANTASTIC

3 and 4 are insane. Almost like the viewer is on drugs

[neonlazer]

For some odd reason..#2 just brakes the cake for me...lol

[tmcman]

I like your take on Pinocchio.

[samoan_ridah]

Beautiful!

[csondagar]

These are absolutely great!

One question: how on earth where you able to get these photos with no park visitors?!!

[obnoxiousmom]

Just wow!

[JJD.Photography]

Great dramatic HDR work! I usually don't go for this kind of HDR work, but you pulled it off very nicely in most of them!

[ccc_javier]

PINOCHO, great

[tvdang7]

any tips on the PP?

[Ted888]

not sure I like it

Each one is completely different. I typically get the majority of the look I want in Photomatix with 3 RAWs straight from the camera. I can then make small adjustments to levels and such in Lightroom. Rarely do I go into photoshop unless I need to fix noise or other imperfections.

[Organic Treats]

Amazing stuff.

[SNOWBIRD72]

I like all of them but 2, 3 and 7 really stand out for me.

Brings back memories of our last Disney trip. Unfortunately I didn't even know about HDR at the time so I missed some great photo opp's. I have the exact same photo as #5 (less the HDR and the xmas tree). Isn't that a great building? Just love the ceiling in there. My wife thought I was crazy taking pictures of it.

Keep up the great work.

wow. awesome shots. i'm completely new to almost all of this, so hopefully this isn't a stupid question, but how do you get the sky to look like that? was it just with the HDR?

[bfinta]

i really like #3 and the last one

[nickelmedia]

Thank you! Yes, HDR makes some amazing clouds.
