I’ve Got Another Dream | Disney Dream HDR at Castaway Cay
Ok, I know I posted almost the same shot yesterday and said it was my favorite shot of the 4 different compositions. Well, I’ve changed my mind. This is now my favorite. This set of shots makes me thankful that I shot a full range of exposures which helped capture the details of the ship and the star burst and light rays from the sun.
The 10 exposures I used for this HDR image ranged from 1/13 sec to 1/4000 sec at f/22 ISO 200.

I have dreams, like you — no, really!
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere

In total I… Continue reading

Then, there is the fact that the ship leaves Castaway Cay at 4:30 PM or earlier if there is a weather system approaching. Even when there… Continue reading
Castaway Cay’s Mount Rustmore Revisited
Mount Rustmore, yes that is RUST, not RUSH, at Disney’s Castaway Cay is one of those must have family photo ops for families visiting the private island. Imagineers re-purposed old marine scrap into pop art featuring the likes of Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Donald Duck, ad Goofy.
However, for some reason, I cannot find a single family picture at this location. I guess there is another good reason to go back!
