    Shooting Fantasmic well has always been difficult. It is something I have put a lot of effort into because of how much I love the show, but the dark, crowds, and distance make it very tough to shoot. I have lots of experience shooting theater so I brought my incredible 50mm f 1.4 to the park just to shoot fantasmic.

    F! is my favorite show, period. ; I've taken over 1000 film images of it since 1998 when I first saw it and I've lost count of my digital shots! ; (But do the math on the film, I would shoot on average three rolls per show, even figured out the best times for the film change including rewind time)

    Missed going back this summer, but then again, I'm still partial to the original dragon.

    That is a very difficult show to shoot. ; Nice job.

    Love Fantasmic at Disneyland!

    Very nice, I really like the first one with the water shooting up to mimic to lasers shooting upward.
