The new finish on Cinderella’s Castle in the Magic Kingdom is different if not well received. I personally feel that the colors just don’t gel together. The purple on the towers is a bit too saturated while the kind of skin tone or peach color on the building is flat. You may or may not like it. I’ll post more of the castle later. The crowds at Magic Kingdom were limited so I was able a lot closer than usual.
I was not expecting much on my first time riding the new Mickey’s Runaway Railroad at Hollywood Studios. The show replaced the Great American Movie Ride which had really reached max snoredome. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the ride ended up being. While it’s appeal is definitely aimed at the youngsters I found myself enjoying the ride and the visuals.
I think Pareidolia is a good thing. I must have strong pattern recognition, or way too much time on my hands.
Local character had his eyes on me. Luckily, I was across the pond and not that close. Let’s hear it for telephoto lenses.
Time for another nap.
Sometimes the image is just not something that pops, until you play with it a bit. Lots of Nik 3 by DXO Color Effects Pro stuff going on. Detail Extractor, Pro Contrast, Polaroid Transfer, Indian Summer, and Foliage filters one on top of the other. If Fall would really come to Florida and stay more than a few hours.
And not that far from Saturn was the Moon that night. I captured this image expecting the next few days to be less than clear sky’s as the Hurricane/Tropical Storm Isaias strolls leisurely up the east coast. Of course last night was still clear but the almost full moon was between Jupiter and Saturn when I looked about 11pm. Now the clouds and wind have arrived but no where near hurricane force.
The other night I was out shooting images of the moon which was near to Jupiter and Saturn. I pointed my camera at Saturn not sure if I would get an image or not. I left the exposure set for the moon shot and aimed (as best I could) in the direction of the ringed planet. Wasn’t expecting much and was 3 plus stops underexposed but here is a fairly tight crop that shows Saturn and it’s magnificent rings. It’s always there, it’s just nice to see it. Image was taken hand held with my Fujifilm X-T2 and XF 100-400mm telephoto with 1.4. extender.
