Nighttime Disney
Pics from the Pixie is back! I've been off from school on break, on vacation, and very busy, so I haven't had time to write any posts lately. But never fear, I'm back :)
For my first post back I thought I'd show some pictures of the beautiful nighttime views at the Disneyland Resort! The first picture of the day is from Fantasmic! This shot was taken from Fowler's Harbor near Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion. It's definitely an interesting spot to watch Fantasmic from if you've seen it lots of times from the regular front view!
I remember seeing Fantasmic for the first time when it premiered about 20 years ago. I was just a little kid then but we sat in the front right up against the water. I thought it was literally the COOLEST thing I had ever seen when the water was set on fire!
Next up is a shot from California Adventure! As I've shown in previous posts, you can always get some cool pictures of the Fun Wheel if you take an extended exposure of the wheel while it is spinning. This time it was a pretty gold color when I took my picture of it! Next time you're in the park give it a shot!
Third today is a shot I'd always wanted to take. I've always admired when people take pretty pictures of Disneyland signs at night and this time I took my own! A quiet summer night at Disneyland provided the perfect time for me to shoot the Pirates of the Caribbean sign!
Finally I have a shot of Disneyland's icon: Sleeping Beauty Castle! Each and every night I leave Disneyland I make it a point to turn around and look at the castle one more time before leaving the park. It's something I love doing and will continue to each time I go to the park! Anyone else do the same thing? :)

Sleeping Beauty Castle in HDR
Today's post is short but hopefully quite sweet! :)
I've been playing around with editing my photos to make them have that HDR effect / feel to them and this is one of my first attempts at doing so. I took this photo back in July 2011 and later applied the HDR edit to it to give it the look it has now!
I've always admired shots that have both the Castle and the Matterhorn in them so I finally took one myself! I'm never sure why but somehow shots with the both of them together almost look miniature to me. If you're someone who makes / takes HDR pictures your feedback with how to possibly improve this picture is greatly appreciated! As always, I am working to improve my photography skills and would like to learn how to make my "HDR" shots better! I don't do all my photos in HDR but I do like to have some of them with this effect. Enjoy! :)

A Cloudy Day by the Castle
Although everyone loves a bright and sunny day at the Happiest Place on Earth, it can be a nice change to get a cloudy day there! Especially if it's supposed to pour rain all day and the park is super slow and empty! Today's pictures are from a very cloudy day at the park and if I remember correctly it started raining right after I took these pictures (as you can see from the sky).
My first picture is of the Archimedes statue and Sleeping Beauty Castle! If any of you don't know who Archimedes is, he's Merlin's owl in the Sword in the Stone. I love this little statue of him outside the Castle! If you look closely at him, from the right he has a curious look on his face. From the left he has a disapproving look on his face! He really does have these different looks on his face, be sure to check it out the next time you go! This picture is of his curious side.
Next is a photo of me with my favorite princess, Princess Aurora! Both her and Snow White came out from the castle at the same time and I almost fell over with shock! I got pictures with both of them but my favorite is with Aurora!
Lastly we have a photo of Sleeping Beauty Castle on this cloudy day in Disneyland. You can tell it's just about to rain by how dark and cloudy the sky is in the picture. (it was taken at 3 in the afternoon!) Hope you enjoyed today's pictures and the little look at a cloudy day in Disneyland!
