Mickey's Fun Wheel - Light - Up Fun!

Hello again everyone!

Sorry yet again for my long absence.  I've been extra busy lately finishing up school with my rotations and all, but I've finally found some time in my schedule to blog again!  So, here goes! :)

I posted some pictures the other day of Mickey's Fun Wheel at night.  Something I love to do while waiting for World of Color to start is to put my camera up on my tripod (or a fence if that's what's available) and start taking photos of the Wheel with long exposures.  You can maybe judge the color that your photo will come out by the colors showing up on the wheel, but the surprise is in the patterns! It just depends on how long you let the wheel spin and what pattern the lights are flashing in their lines. It's a neat surprise each time you look at your photo. :)

SO.... onto the pictures!  These were taken prior to me seeing World of Color for the first time.  We had front, I mean FRONT, row seats to the show.  It was just us and the open water in front of us, so I got very spoiled enjoying all the nice pictures I could take.

The first (and my favorite) of this post is a cool blue "strobe" pattern I got off the wheel!  Not sure how the two tones of blue worked out, but I think it looks pretty neat nevertheless!



Next up we have a neat "Golden Glow" coming off the Wheel.  Another funky and enjoyable pattern to look at.



Last for today we have another yellow / orange toned photo (I seemed to get a lot of those that night...), but this one with a simpler, cleaner pattern.



Hope you've enjoyed this trip on Mickey's Fun Wheel!  I promise I'll be back soon with more pics and Disney fun :)

Good Morning, Mickey & Main Street

There's always that picture that you snap first thing in the morning each day you go to Disneyland.  This following photo is just that!  Arriving in the park on an extremely slow Saturday (due to a 90% chance of rain) the first picture I took of the day was an interesting angle up at the Mickey Mouse floral and the Main Street Train Station!







It was literally so slow that day at Disneyland I was able to get a rare picture in front of the train station with only me and my friend Erin in it!  In all the years I've been going to Disneyland I've NEVER been able to get a picture of myself like this!  And for further proof that we live in a small, small world, the person who took this photo of me is a friend from a car fan club that we ran into at Disneyland!  Myself and my friend who took the photo both live out of state and somehow were at Disneyland the exact same weekend and ran into each other that morning right inside the entrance gates!








Next is another picture of me and my friend Erin, this time with the Disneyland Christmas Tree!  It was super empty around the tree (unlike the zoo it is normally), so we stopped and had our picture taken on the way into the park!







Finally a simple shot of the Emporium on Main Street USA!  I will be posting more pictures from that incredibly slow day later! :)  This picture is another of the "first" photos of that day!  I always find it fun to look back at the first photos I took each day because it brings back the memories of the whole day in the park if I start from the beginning!  Next time you're looking at your Disneyland vacation photos, be sure to start with the first!  You never know what happy memories it might bring right back!
