Disneyland In HDR
My friends and family threw me an incredible surprise birthday party for my 30th birthday this last weekend! It was awesome.
At the end of the party, my gift from Mary was another surprise. A surprise trip to Disneyland! Really, I had to leave the party to get to the airport for my surprise flight. As I said, awesome.
Disneyland was fun. Crowds weren't too bad for a holiday weekend, and the weather was perfect. So perfect that Mary was willing to sit by while I took lots and lots of photographs. I even got to take a bunch of HDR photos, which take more time, but usually turn out pretty cool.
I even got to ride the new Toy Story Mania ride twice! :D

SURPRISE! I'm FIRST! :D
I love the photo of the Haunted Mansion. Very scary! :)
wow...I need to try doing HDR....
Stunning photos!
My D60 doesn't Auto Bracket...is that a problem with people walking by in the pictures?
Nah, daytime photos aren't too tough to take without too many people in the shots. Night time ones are tougher since they're long exposures. You can also "merge out" some of the people by picking and choosing as you merge your 3 photos.
Auto-bracketing makes it MUCH easier to do HDR though. All those daytime ones were done hand-held without a tripod since auto-bracketing snaps 3 shots quickly enough to just hand hold it.
Very cool photos!
Would you mind sending some of the hi-res photos (HDR) to me?
No problem. I need to know which ones you're looking for and where to send them.
What a great HDR's .. OMG I would say the best
ok i was searching for colored photographs for one of my classes and have now been here for 15 valuable minutes looking at your stuff. i'm a huge fan of disneyland and photography (hence photography student) and think your photos are the best disneyland photos ever. i think the first one of the pier at night and the hdr haunted mansion are my favorite. i hope i learn the hdr stuff this semester in my photoshop class. ok well nice to meet you and thanks for sharing your work.
Hi Steve, Can you email me @ Trevorst@gmail.com?
Hello Steve these pictures are awesome. Would you mind if I used some of these on a Disney fan created website? Of course credited back to you and your site.
Sure Anon, I have no problem with you using them.
these HDR photos are fantastic! I'm definitely wishing I was in California right now. I have one of your panoramic shots as my desktop background - phenomenal! thanks so much for sharing!
your panorama pic. is wonderful. wish I can use it in my 3d rendering project. I need some of theme to make the view better. So beautiful they are!
