Pirate in the first cell in the Pirates of the Caribbean

Pirate in the first cell in Pirates of the Caribbean

I wonder how many people miss seeing this guy?  As the boat in the Pirates of the Caribbean is getting towards the end of the ride it comes upon the pirates who are trying to get the key from the dog.  Maybe, the reason they are trying so hard is just another cell away, the skeleton of another pirate.
This was taken with a Nikon D800 at 1/80, f/2.8, ISO 4000, 200mm

Wendy on the Columbia in Fantasmic

Wendy in Fantasmic

This is a shot of Wendy on the Columbia during Fantasmic.  What will happen?  Will she be able to fight off the pirates?  Where is Peter Pan?  Who is going to help her?
This was taken with a Nikon D600 with the following settings 1/400 (to stop the motion), f/2.8 (to allow as much light in as possible), ISO 1600 (again to let in light but not have to much "noise") with a 200mm lens set at 195mm.
Some work was done in Lightroom 5.
Oh, and everything turns out fine.

Monsters Inc ride at Disney's California Adventure with Mike and Sulley

Mike & Sulley

Monsters Inc ride at Disneyland is considered another Dark Ride and with it comes all of the issues that you would normally have in taking pictures in Dark Rides.  The issues are 1) you are moving and what you are taking pictures of are also moving, 2) it is dark in there!, 3) they flood the whole thing with hash lights, in this case it is blue.
The problem is that Sulley is blue and if you take out the hash blue light you also turn Sulley into an Abominable Snowman and he will need to relocate to the Matterhorn.

This picture was taken with a Nikon D600 with the following settings, 1/320, f/1.4, ISO 1600 using a 35mm lens. This shot required a little work in Lightroom. The White Balance had to be adjusted in two different areas, the first was the right side of the picture with Sulley and the area where Mike is. The saturation was also reduced for the entire photograph but it was increased slightly in the area where Mike is. The shadows were also lightened up to bring out some of the detail for the doors that are going by.
