Grizzly Encounter
Grizzly River Run in DIsney's California Adventure Park is not the longest runaway raft ride, nor the wettest...Short but sweet, this ride is is really fun though and never fails to refresh on a hot sunny day! This stretch of the river is approaching the end where your raft enters a boiling geyser patch that threatens to drench you one final time before disembarking from your journey...
Grizzly River Run is also one of the most photogenic parts of all the Disneyland Resort, having a Sierra Mountain landscape that does a very good job of elevating your reality to a higher altitude.
This photo was taken early in the day during a recent mini meetup. Being a HDR image, multiple exposures are required to get the image right. When moving subjects are involved, shenanigans are often required...In this case, I chose the "best" images from my bracket that represented the raft, water, and people, using them as layers to be masked into the HDR tonemap created by Photomatix...There is a lady in black on the bridge doing a double fist-pump...
