Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye

Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye.  Opened in 1995 and it is a ride that is like nothing else you have ever been on.  Well, that is what they say.
Great ride, a little to fast and bumpy for good pictures and a little dangerous to take a camera on but it can be worth a try.

The Disneyland Desert, Jungle Cruise

The Desert Cruise, I mean the Jungle Cruise
This is a picture of the Disneyland Desert  Jungle Cruise. The difference 60 years can make with the trees is amazing.

The Tiger from the Jungle Cruise

Tiger from the Jungle Cruise Ride
I think the saying is that he can jump more than 10 feet, so do not worry he will just jump right over the boat.
This was taken with a Nikon D800, 1/500, f/2.5 (I should have used an f-stop of around 8 to get more of the area right by him in focus) ISO 400 (might have been able to have lowered that a little to 200 as it looks like there was a lot of light) with an 85mm lens.
One of the big considerations on all of the rides is the change in the light conditions as you go from one scene to another.  Here the light is fairly bright but if you have been on the ride you know that just around the corner it becomes a lot darker due to all of the trees.  It was not always that way with the Jungle Cruise, when it first opened it was more like the Desert Cruise due to the lack of any major vegetation.  But now there are a lot of areas where the trees are blocking out the sun so you have to be able to make the adjustments on your camera quickly.  Again, you are moving on a boat and most of the animals are also moving so you will need to use a fast shutter speed.

 The Tiki Room.  This was taken with a Nikon D800 at 1/250, f/2.8, ISO 2500 using a 200mm lens.
Very sharp and clear.  This was taken during the show itself.

Anyone know his name?
