Soarin' Over Never Never Land
Cameras have come a long way, even in the almost two decades that I've been photographing with fancy photo gear. Back when I first started dabbling in more serious photography, taking a DSLR on a Disney dark ride presented an almost impossible challenge of capturing dimly light ride scenes from a moving vehicle and exposing them well enough to capture some semblance of a detailed scene. Of course, I had a crop frame DSLR back then, and I hadn't gotten into prime lenses yet. But still, the difficulties were real! Fast forward to now, and I have a mirrorless camera, with a pretty fast prime lens, and dark ride photography... is still not easy, but it's certainly more feasible to capture sharp photos of dark scenes than it used to be. And capturing timeless ride segments like this glide over Never Never Land in Peter Pan's Flight is an example of the types of photos that woud have been near impossible for me to get as crisply as I can now. Who knows how camera...
