Picture of the Day - Orlando

We love to sit on the steps there and people watch. Relaxing and quietly entertaining.

Same here, then stroll or stumble over to Finnegans!

love how they show you how the minions created each piece of artwork in the cafe!

So many people commando rides, but miss out on some of the more subtle, relaxing, interesting things you can do at Universal or Disney. Slow up and smell the roses, or taste the wine, say I.

I'm loving these night shots! With the signage board being pretty sharp, I'm guessing they're not particularly long exposures? Whenever I head into the park there always seems to be so many people around that I'm forced to go the long exposure route to get "people-less" shots

Thanks so much! They're my favourite type of photo to snap but they can certainly be difficult. I love park closing because there are usually very few people left at that time, especially towards the back of the parks. The lagoon viewing area in each land offers some great vantage points with little to no people too! I use a GorillaPod because it allows me to set up a tripod in some really unique locations and helps with the long exposures.

I'm going to guess they're all around a 2-4 sec exposure at f2.8 - f4 and then some occasional heavy boosting of exposure/shadows in Lightroom. I've also been playing around with the new de-noise feature and that could be why the signage looks especially sharp.
