Daily Disney - Tree of Life
Image by Express Monorail
This one was taken on my way out of the park. For some reason I always have a tough time shooting this tree. This one was no exception. This was a quick - turn around, compose, snap and get out of the way shot - I accidentally still had the camera set on ISO1600, which meant I had some noise to combat. Also, it was around 1:00 in the afternoon, which always makes it tough without a lens hood or polarizer. With the RAW file though, I was able to do some pretty decent post-process work to save this. With not a lot of dynamic light to work with, I don't even know how much a multi-exposure HDR would have worked here... I do like the POV though, which is from the main entrance path about as far as you can go with still being able to see the tree. I composed high on purpose as there were loads of people coming up the hill my way on the path. If there were no people it would have been cool to include a little more of the foreground in the picture. Maybe this would make a cool nighttime long exposure.
