Cinderella Castle, Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World

It must be time to finally give you the image of Cinderella Castle I mentioned a few posts back. You remember, the one required if you are a Disney photographer. I’m sure you didn’t forget… right?

I left the Magic Kingdom around 11am that first morning. The long drive was starting to catch up with me and I really wanted to get to my room for a quick nap. I ended up returning about 4:30pm to ensure I had time to get some images before sunset and then get my required castle sunset image. So, ta da!

Yeah, that is what I thought too.

Meh…

So, I went back about twenty minutes and found another view of Cindy. Less lighting, more natural light. Also, looking east away from the sun. Granted, another view I have shown you way to many times, but maybe I can make it different.

I wish I had grabbed the artists card, or grabbed a phone pic of their name so I could give them credit, or at least a mention. The art was really cool. A little 50’s-ish in style but the choice of color palette stuck in my brain. The palette was only two dominate colors, bold and bright. The whole series used the same scheme. Damn, I’m kicking myself right now. I thought I could find them online but getting info out of Disney’s website is a test of one’s patience.

Anyway, back on topic. For this second image of the castle, I played with the hue values for orange and blue after I processed the image as I would normally. I think there is something here. I need to play more but I still wanted to share…
