    I did some brightening and rework of a long exposure shot I took of France Pavilion from the bridge, and thought I'd share it. ; I like how with the brightening you can see what I was intending to do with the tree framing originally - the first unprocessed version I posted was a wee too dark to notice the branches:

    oooh very nice Justin....I really need to spend more time at Epcot at night; the last time I specifically did it was for Future World.

    very nice!

    I agree, I have never spent actual photo time in world showcase at night. Always rushed handheld shots.

    Very Nice Justin, I like that framing. ; Same here with the lack of quality shooting time at EPCOT at night.

    Very nice! ; I really need to spend more time in EPCOT after dark. ; The only thing I have a picture of at night there is SSE.

    I recommend a stay in the Epcot Resort area...that's my excuse to getting World Showcase night shots. ; The fact that you can just stroll over from Boardwalk or Beach Club, especially on EMH nights, enter Epcot with a tripod with the expressed purpose of just taking some night shots, then stroll back out to your resort...that's what makes it great. ; Of course, you have to have a park hopper or annual pass to be able to enter Epcot at night after spending the day in another park. ; When we stay at Boardwalk, we'll do the morning one park, late day and evening in another, then head back to the resort, and just enter Epcot to go grab something to eat. ; This was taken during an EMH night, at around 11-11:30pm...it was pretty much empty.

    I will second that Justin. ; My family loves Epcot, especially World Showcase at night.

    i do believe some of that late night world showcase action might be in order at pixelmania
    perhaps another alien sighting will occur

    I'm always up for night shooting walks - Pixelmania should be good for World Showcase night photo walk, followed by some Epcot Resort Area lake shooting...both are awesome spots for night shots.

    Great job Justin. I with you. I Love staying late for some night shooting at World Showcase specifically.

    Absolutely lovely - nice job with the tree framing the scene. It really adds something special.

    Thank you all. ; Funny, I was walking down the bridge with my tripod to get a shot of France...no intention of the trees being in the shot. ; But as I was walking past the trees I noticed how they were framing the shot, and decided I had to try that too. ; If the weather had been nicer, I would have gone all the way around the showcase...but it had been a long hot day, and it was still 85 at 11:30pm...so I shot UK and France, then headed out to Boardwalk. ; This will be so much nicer in December!
