Things That Spin in the Night – A Different Perspective at Disneyland Park

For my recent series of nighttime photographs that feature spinning attractions, I set out to capture unique images from an unusual perspective or location. With this in mind, I revisited the Astro Orbitor at Disneyland park the other night for one last “spin” – this time from above Tomorrowland, on the former PeopleMover/Rocket Rods track.

This first photo is more of a twilight photo, but I chose it because you can see the curved horizon, which would have been concealed in darkness if shot later.

This photo was chosen because it combines Sleeping Beauty Castle with the Astro Orbiter in the foreground, a view I cannot recall ever seeing before.

In this photo, I was able to combine the fireworks show and Astro Orbitor. I especially like how the fireworks appear to be going right through the red light streaks.

  • Bummer! I’ve tried 4 different browsers to no avail. Hopefully the pics are up soon. I think we need some pixie dust here;-)

  • I agree with Kevin and Ramin, I can’t see the photos. 🙁

  • I’m with Kevin, not seeing the pictures

  • Off and on in the last couple of weeks, pictures on this site are not showing up. I have used Firefox 4.0 and Internet Explorer 9 and still cannot see any of these, although I could see yesterday’s beast castle, etc. Something different in the coding. Too bad since there are comments on how good it looks. Maybe I am using too new a browser.

  • Hmmm doesn’t look the photos showed up properly on the site. :/

  • Cool!

  • Great Pictures Paul, Would you consider posting some of the metadata with your pics? (only if this wouldn’t give away any of your trade secrets) I love learning from other people and their pictures.
