Alice In Wonderland Ride at Disneyland in 1964

Fantasyland from the Skyway around 1969

There is a lot to see in the picture, which was taken around 1969. The Chicken of the Sea Pirate ships (for tuna sandwiches) Casey Jr., Storybook Land, Alice and the Skyway.  Another interesting feature is the change in the paint color of the ground at the lower right hand corner of the picture.  Notice that it goes from green to magenta (?) it indicates the change in the "Land" that you are in.  The Green was for Fantasyland and the Magenta was for Tomorrowland.

Alice, the Mad Hatter, the big bad Wolf and Pluto 1965

Alice, the Mad Hatter, the big bad Wolf and Pluto all walking together in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle.  You can also see the small Snow White statues in the background.  This was taken in 1965.

Alice in Wonderland ride & the Matterhorn Bobsleds from the Skyway 1961

This is a great shot of the Alice in Wonderland boarding area and the final section of the track as it bends and twists the guest back down.  This was taken in 1961.

Tea anyone? Alice in Wonderland ride at Disneyland

Tea anyone?

This is from the Alice in Wonderland ride at Disneyland.
This was taken with a Nikon D800, 1/100, f/1.4, ISO 1600 with a 35mm lens.  It had a little noise in it, next time I will try an slightly lower ISO and maybe a faster shutter speed as well.  But all in all, not bad.

From the Disneyland Alice in Wonderland Ride

Tweede Dee and Tweedle Dum

Here we have Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum (or is it Tweedledee and Tweedledum?) from the Alice in Wonderland ride at Disneyland.  This shot was taken with a Nikon D800, 1/160, f/1.4, ISO 1600 with a 35mm lens.  The colors came out great; however, since they move back and forth I should have increase the shutter speed a little to freeze the action a little better.  The whole ride has a lot of surprises.  One of them is that it is the only ride at Disneyland where it is an inside ride that for a short period of time goes outside again and then back inside.  One of the difficulties in taking pictures in the Dark Rides, or really any of the rides at Disneyland is that if you do not get the perfect shot the first time you will end up waiting another hour to get on the ride again and hope that you have everything set just right.  Of course you normally do not know if you did not get the perfect shot until you are back home working through each and every picture.  Well, another trip to Disneyland, this one is not perfect!  (Ok, well I am trying to use any excuse I can to get back to the Park!)
