Steampunk Inspiration
Maleficent is the enormous steampunk-inspired dragon that joined the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World during the Spring of 2014. This fire-breathing dragon measures 53 feet long and towers 26 feet above the parade route. The Festival of Fantasy Parade was a part of bringing the stories of New Fantasyland throughout the park.
This shot was taken from the second level of the Main Street Railroad station on New Year's Day, 2015. I have not been up to that level since, but I was told the railing side of the platform that faces main Street is now reserved for parades.
This was a 3 bracket HDR (High Dynamic Range) image took handheld without a tripod. The setting for the normal exposure was aperture f/6.3, 1/320 sec, ISO 160, 200mm focal length.
Have fun capturing the magic of Disney!
