Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy - Disneyland
During HalloweenTime at Disneyland, Space Mountain undergoes a spooky transformation to become Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy...Featuring state of the art projected images mapped precisely to the exterior, every few minutes the ghost inside tries its best to break out of the Mountain in several different amazing scenes. This particular scene shows a giant hand trying to push its way out from the inside accompanied by loud screeching metal sounds and eerie moaning and screams that can be heard all the way from the Hub...
On this particular evening Ryan Pastorino and I were on the upper loading deck of the queue photographing the Mountain as it went through its transformations. We have decided to post each of our different photos today so that different approaches to the same idea can be compared. For the record, this shot was extremely difficult to finalize in post-processing due to the radically changing lights and a dreary overcast that was horrific in a different way...
My presentation is a HDR image from three exposures, merged in Photomatix using both Enhancer and Fusion, combined in PP with elements of two other additional exposures masked in. Many adjustments were made in Photoshop using various tools including Nik Color Efex 4, and Topaz Adjust.
