My apologies to AC/DC up front. The title felt appropriate. Here is an image of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad that I decided to play with a little. The original image was not terrible but it was a bit lackluster.
I wanted more drama in the sky which gave me the idea of ‘tweaking’ it myself in Photoshop. I placed the original sky on a separate layer, enlarged it a little and then applied a radial blur. The origin of the blur is a third from the bottom in the center. This location gave the sky a more natural movement and highlighted the silhouette of the ride the way I envisioned it.

Do you ever get a concept for an image in your head and then when you attempt to execute it just doesn’t look right? That was me yesterday morning. I had an idea for something I thought would look cool and the conditions appeared to be in my favor (at least at home). When I arrived at my locations the sky was clear with nothing to help add color and interest to my concept. I tried! I really did but it was just not working, so I bought some donut holes and went back home to drown my sorrows… LOL!
I’ll keep the concept in the back of my head for another day.
What you get instead is another look at my Walt Disney World in Black & White series. I’m including the original color version as well for this post as I think it works as an interesting image too. I like the starkness of the all white Space Mountain building against a cloud-filled sky with just a hint of additional color from the sign. It might actually be a stronger image than my conversion to B&W.
