I like it a lot. ; I REALLY like how you worked the frame "behind" Darth Mauls head.

 

John, during especially busy times, they'll add a second Jedi master and villain out front to double the capacity.

Three nice shots, Tim.

 

TMIP POTD - 8/24/2011 - Wilderness Lodge

AUGUST 24, 2011 - Wilderness Lodge




A few nights ago, we took the kids to the Wilderness Lodge for the bonfire and movie under the stars as we were feeling a bit "parked out". ; After the kids crashed and burned, my buddy Jeff and I met up for some nighttime photography. ; Here is one of the shots that I snapped that night. ; In addition to the standard "postcard shot", I was also trying to capture something a bit different and not as often seen. ; I then gave it a bit of Topaz Adjust to make the details really pop! ; The Wilderness Lodge really is a fantastic place, teeming with details and landscaping that will keep any travel photographer busy.

Technical Details: ; Canon 1dMk4, Canon 24-105 f/4L, 10 sec, f/8, ISO 400, -1 EV
Post Processing: ; Adobe Photoshop CS5, RAW conversion, HDR Pop using Topaz Adjust & Denoise

Looks great! ; That was fun, I can't wait to go and do it again. ; We should make a habit out of that when you are here, and hit all of the resorts.

 

The color balance on those night shots is perfect, Tim.

 

Thanks, all!

Really nice idea. ; The angled frame and the zoom blur in the background makes it unique.

 

I like this a lot. ; You could do this with any of the monorail colors, and make that area outside the small frame the color of the train. ; Could be an interesting project.
