Theme Parks: Night Photography

[Hockeyman55]

I absolutely love this thread. Thank you guys. The photos are not just amazing but inspiring. It makes me want to get a real camera and join in the fun!

It really has been worth every dollar I have spent and one of the most rewarding hobbies I have ever gotten involved with :happy:

Here is a shot I made my brother pose for last weekend at Magic Kingdom Took me about 6 tries to get to this shot and still am not too happy with the results. First he is a little blurry just because of the long exposure and nearly impossible for anyone to be totally motionless for that long. Second he is a little too orange for my liking, think part in due to being sun burnt. Other than that I like it

MAxairmike and I camped out there for 2 hours waiting for the show. I was set on this location and was worried somebody would beat us to it.

Well worth the wait, you got some great shots.

I was really surprised we were the only photographers that showed up for the balcony that night. The other time I shot from there I got there about an hour before and there were already two guys set up, and it was actually less busy that night!

I'm looking forward to SeaWorld's later summer hours to try and get some Atlantis shots, as well as along the waterfront area.

I was shocked also and looking down in the streets it did seem really empty there that night. I can wait to shoot at Sea World period I wont get any night shots though, since we are heading home after the park


Another shot of Wishes taken on my trip 2 weeks ago. Pretty excited how this one turned out.
