Photo TR: IOA and Universal 2012


Recommended Posts

Have some new photos from a recent trip to IOA/UNI... There have been enough normal shots posted, so this photo TR is showing off these wonderful parks at night. More high-resolution daytime and many more night photos can be seen on my Flickr page here:

Never been back by this ride at night... Looked awesome, hence this picture.

Love this shot... 14mm can fit almost anything in the frame, no matter how close (right up to that railing in this shot).

The End!

It must have taken a while to take all those great shots without the tourists getting in your way. Props to that!

 

Actually was not too bad. Believe it or not many of these shots had quite a few people in them, but due to the long exposure anything that moves basically disappears. Most of these shots were 20-30 seconds, many people don't stand still that long!

 

As usual, awesome photos! I love 'em! I think these might be some of, if not my favorite photos that I've seen you post. Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks!

 

What was the exposure time on that one of HRRR? It's awesome!

 

30 seconds for that one. Started the shot when the train was on the first midcourse and ended when the train went out of sight.

Andy,

 

The 14mm lens is my Samyang 14mm f/2.8... A cheap third party lens (got mine for just about $300), but the image quality is out of this world. The resolution matches or exceeds the 14L which costs just over $2000. Incredible value.

 

Here is a link to a test done with the lens: http://www.photozone.de/canon_eos_ff/532-samyang14f28eosff

 

It does have some distortion, but is fixable in Lightroom/Photoshop, and is not a problem for me. It is just amazing how sharp this lens is from edge to edge across the image... But being a fixed 14mm, it is not that versatile, although, it was stuck to my camera most of the trip! Just so much fun to use.

Good Stuff, thanks very much, will look into it, I do currently have a few lens' So a fixed lens is not usually a problem!

We need to do a meet at Cedar Point or someplace and put our photography together. Gorgeous images as usual. Always helps when the subject does so much work for you. Makes our jobs easier just to capture it.

 

Ill look into that Samyang. Thats a great price for that kind of wide angle.

Thanks man... Yeah, those parks are simply wonderful to photograph. I am at the point now where I have thousands of pictures from each of those parks that when I go, my main goal is just to do get something different. So bringing my 14mm along with me did just that. That 14mm has became one of my favorite lenses to use at parks due to the perspective. I am excited to use it this year at CP and wherever else. Real, if you want to check out a full size image from that lens email/PM me, you will be blown away at the detail at 100%.

 

Appreciate the compliments everyone. Hopefully they are something a bit different from the norm to look at.

Wow those photos are cool. I love the Rip Ride Rock it photo.

I only got a DSLR recently and love experimenting with it to get different shots. I have only been to Disneyland Paris since I got the camera. We did a night shoot too. If you want I'll post the pics here( just asking as the tread had the names of different parks up )
