Bubbles over Bay Lake
Looking out from the observation deck on the Bay Lake side of Bay Lake Tower at Walt Disney World. Erick supplied the bubbles from his battery-powered bubble gun. The idea of taking some shots up there with bubbles in them was his idea, too -- I think this one, in particular, came out pretty well.
Tech note: this is a single RAW file exposed at three different settings in Lightroom and Camera RAW, then merged and tweaked in Photoshop CS4 using blend modes and layer masks. I'm really liking what it does for the shadows and highlights without looking obviously tone mapped (to my eyes, at least).
