Adventures

I recently have been traveling quite a bit for work, so my post activity has been down.  I have been sticking to Instagram and posting to a couple of sites all at once versus having to write a lot of content and posting it here and then trying to post it everywhere else.  The traveling has been a blast as you get to connect with so many people in such a short amount of time.  It can be a little tedious though, especially when going from Las Vegas to Anaheim in just a couple of days.

Just recently I got to experience Walt Disney’s California Adventure for the first time.  It was an incredible experience.  The rides are I would call, geared towards older crowd or thrill seekers!  One of the best experiences was the last part of the day which included an awesome show called, World of Colors!  This amazing show is something spectacular as it uses water and projectors and lights to make what is simply stunning.  Comparing the show that is shown in Las Vegas’ Bellagio Hotel, the show at Disney blows Bellagio’s out of the water.  I have overheard that Bellagio is even considering removing their show permanently.  I think they should reconsider and possibly send some of their research guys over to see the show that Disney has to offer. 

See the video below from a YouTube Search of The World of Color to see what I mean.

Wedding Cake–HDR

Here is a photo of a wedding cake that I did in HDR.  I am really enjoying the HDR technology and think that it makes the photos really cool.  I know that some people are saying that they think the HDR thing is going overboard but for some occasions I think it looks great.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking.

San Diego–Balboa Park HDR Hallway

I was recently in the San Diego area when I came across this hallway that I knew would be amazing in an HDR shot.  So I fired away and got this HDR shot without using my tripod. 

If you haven't been to Balboa Park in San Diego, I urge you to go.  There is just so much to see and do.  It is right next to the San Diego Zoo and actually has so many different areas due to the size of the park.

Thanks for looking.
