Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts
There are a few scenes in WDW that are fun to take over and over again to see if you can improve on your previous results. This is one of them for me.
Since your Doom Buggy rotates and the Hitchhiking Ghosts come in to view for only a quick few seconds, there is little time react. I've tried various settings, lenses, and cameras, and I think this is my sharpest and cleanest attempt yet. The little D750 does a great job of focusing in low light and has amazing high ISO performance. It also has another trick up it's sleeve...
I stumbled on this somewhat by accident for this particular shot. We had an e-stop in front of Constance Hatchaway (I'll post that shot later this week), and I turned off Auto ISO in attempt to get a cleaner shot. I guess I forgot to turn it back on, so I accidentally shot this one very underexposed in manual mode.
Many reviews of the D750 demonstrate how well you can increase exposure with RAW files from this sensor, and this is yet another example. I pushed this one a full three stops in post to an equivalent of ISO 12,800. In the end it worked quite well.
Maybe someday I'll get a long exposure tripod shot of this scene, but until then I'll keep experimenting!
