Frontierland, Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World

I know I have a fascination with Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom. I typically spend a lot of my time in this area of the park. I enjoy exploring Tom Sawyer Island and always go for a ride on the Liberty Belle. I’m not sure if it is because I grew up on a farm and the “rural” feel of the area brings me back to my days playing in the creek or I just enjoy being able to find quiet spots away from the hustling crowds on their way to the rides.

Looking through my Disney posts I find I also enjoy getting pictures of Harper’s Mill and the Liberty Belle riverboat. There are plenty of locations for different and unique compositions. One of my toughest pictures has been getting both in one at night. I try every visit and rarely come home happy with my attempts. This last visit either my luck has improved or my skill with the camera has gotten better. I hate thinking it is the new camera but it might play a little role in helping me get this image. Typically I would bracket a night image like this in order to capture the range of light but I found with my D7100 I could process a single exposure and achieve the look I wanted.
