FR: Tous les six mois, Disneyland Paris ouvre une exposition temporaire en Belgique. L'été, c'est les sculptures de sable à la plage. En hiver, c'est au tour des sculptures de glace d'envahir Liège. Dans une semaine, le film le plus attendu de l'année va arriver et c'est dans cette optique que Disney a décidé de faire une exposition de glace dédiée à Star Wars.

 

EN: Every six months, Disneyland Paris opens a temporary exhibition in Belgium. The summer is perfect for the sand sculptures on the beach. In winter, it's time for ice sculptures to invade Liège. In seven days, the most anticipated film of the year is coming and it is in this light that Disney has decided to make an ice exhibition devoted to Star Wars.

 

Info:

- HDR made from 3 raw exposures (1EV step from -1 to +1 EV)

- The conditions to take the pictures were extreme (for a Disneyland Photographer). From -10°C to -6°C, it takes approx. 30 minutes to allows your gears to cool down. I brought my D750 with 50mm/1.8 and my D7000 with my 35mm/1.8. Due to the air cooling system, it was impossible for me to change the lens (I didn't want to expose the mirror and indirectly the electronics to sub-zero temperature).

It's difficult to take the perfect angle. Lights are diffracted in so many ways due to the massive amount of ice block. Just for information, the 60 statues uses 500 tons of Ice. This vador sculpture is 3 meter tall (approx 10 feet). Even with frozen fingers it was an amazing experience as photograph and as a Star Wars fan
