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.

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.
Cool!
Hmmm doesn’t look the photos showed up properly on the site. :/
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.
I’m with Kevin, not seeing the pictures
I agree with Kevin and Ramin, I can’t see the photos. 🙁
Bummer! I’ve tried 4 different browsers to no avail. Hopefully the pics are up soon. I think we need some pixie dust here;-)
No pictures on any of my Windows XP with latest updates. Please Fix.
I was able to see the photos earlier today, but I can’t anymore.
…Ok, now I can see them again.
Can’t see the piccies either 🙁
Now I can see the pictures… The first one is absolutly going to by desktop!

Wow Paul, you truly are gifted! These pictures are amazing 🙂
I love this!! Brings out the magic of Disney 🙂
Paul, once again, I’m amazed by your photos. Thank you so much for sharing. I love coming to Disneyland just to take pictures. I have a plethora of photos that go back to when I was a teenager. :o)
Awesome pics!! There really is a whole different atmosphere at night and you captured it!
Man, that Astro Orbiter is one hell of a ride… just a little cramped.
Love these night shots! Would love to see the EXIF…
You all take amazing photos. I wish you would allow us to download some hi-res images from time to time.
Amazing photos. You really captured the wonder and magic of Disneyland.
