New Orleans Square in Disneyland may not be the real Big Easy, but how often in the actual New Orleans do you see a jazz band come floating down the river to play some tunes for passersby? At Disneyland's Rivers of America, you can regularly see the Jambalaya Jazz Band do exactly that!

For those of you who have been following at home, we had a photo meet recently at the DLR during which we decided it would be fun to shoot the "Believe In Holiday Magic" fireworks from New Orleans Square back over the Mark Twain. Just as we had set up our tripods and were ready to shoot, they turned out all the lights on the Mark Twain and the dock. As the guys had set up specifically to get the Mark Twain lights under the fireworks, I was very bummed. I felt better after someone suggested that we should shoot the lights after they came back up and layer them back in, which is what Hot Sauce and Tiki Mike have already done. Yesterday, however, Gregg Cooper posted a great HDR shot of the boat without the lights which worked very well, so I thought I would give it a try. The above is a single exposure on which I layered quite a bit in an attempt to get the Twain visible against the fireworks and surrounding Frontierland lights that were left on.
Shot with the Nikkor 18-200 VR.
At 28 feet tall and with four decks, the Mark Twain is the tallest train on the water at Disneyland (Don't argue with me, it has a steam engine and runs on tracks). The ship has a top speed of about 400 miles an hour and can whip guests around Tom Sawyer's Island in about 1/2 a second, usually flinging a couple off here and there when it rounds a corner at top speed. At maximum capacity, it can hold about 482 thousand people or 300 people if they don't want it to sink or tip over. On occasion, Mark Twain can be seen Piloting the ship himself.

Couple of things.
One, this is one of those rare empty tripod night shots of mine, where I stayed up late, camped out a bit, and shot the night away - so I hope you enjoy!
Two, this was right after the realization that my image stabilization was on, so after a round of shots, I ended up with only THIS ONE - as I was in a rush to re-shoot everything I already had, and more, without the stabilization (doh!)
Three, this was taken at last month's Captuing the Magic! meetup! If you're a Disneyland local, and aren't a part of the group - join today!
Four, this is a black and white for three reasons! One, it was a dare to do black and white photography for the week. So I'm doing it, everywhere. Secondly, it suited the photo taken - as the white balance was so wacky the colors had no interest in turning out. And three, it JUST suited the image better - because this photo is about one thing - the play of light, it's reflections, and it's subtle illuminations on those objects oh-so-far away.

This was a hard shot to make work (taken from the Rivers of America) but I think it turned out okay.
