Cinderella Castle
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World

Persistence pays off!

I was rained out of my sunset on the day of my arrival to Walt Disney World. It was a close call on Sunday but Mother Nature was on my side. I knew it was worth being nice to her. I staked out my spot on the bridge early (shared it with a fellow photographer) and waited for the right lighting conditions. There were enough clouds in the sky along with a little haze to provide the color I wanted after the sun dropped below the tree line. The toughest part for me was waiting long enough for the castle lighting to be visible without over loading the camera (those blue lights are hell)…
