I definitely like the processing and composition here, but the tilt is really distracting me...

I was gonna fix it; but I liked how it worked for the statue. Plus I swear that something in this area isn't quite level. Whether it's the castle or the ground, I don't know. But if I straighten the castle, the statue still has a tilt and kinda makes the castle seem off. So I mainly just gave love to the statue.

Nice.
That photo sums up our last trip to a tee. It was either raining, or getting ready to rain.

That's a great shot KShark

one of the best bathrooms at MK :P

We are getting ready to take our 3.5 and 1 year olds to disneyland for the first time in a few weeks. I am about half way through reading this thread and just wanted to thank everyone for all of the info over the years that is in this thread. It looks like it is going to save me a bunch of effort in lugging a bunch of gear.

My plan right now is to bring my 5d mk III along with my 24-70 ii. It sounds like that should cover most of my needs except for the dark rides. For those I am trying to figure out which fast prime of mine I should bring. I have the 24l, 35l and 50l but would prefer to bring only one. What's your guys thoughts?

Next I was wondering if it's worth hauling my 16-35 ii with me. We are going to be super busy chasing the kids around I suspect so I am trying to go a light as I can but at the same time what's one more lens Final question, I was looking at picking up a Singh ray variable neutral density filter for the fireworks. I have been wanting one for a while and this might be the justification I need for myself to buy it. Question is would I regret buying the standard VD filter instead of the trio one? I already have a neutral Singh ray CP but the VD trio looks like it could be really fun with the 16-35. Thanks and sorry for asking so many questions.

good choice on gear. 24-70 is all around a well covered range for everything

for the primes I would take the 24mm. wider is better on the rides. The only time you would use longer range is if you are outside the ride and waiting for others on the ride and want to take their pictures as they pass by. But since your kids are young I don't think that will matter. Another longer reach needed would be for the parades if you want some up close shots. But I think wide is better to capture the scene.

Thanks baan. We live up outside of San Francisco and are driving down and staying at the disneyland hotel. I might toss my 70-200 ii in the car and leave it in the hotel room so if there are a few specific longer shots I want I can bring it to the park for a few hours one of the days. I don't want to be lugging that thing around all day as it's way to heavy. Thanks
