Through a Photographer’s Lens: Waterfalls of the Disneyland Resort

Picture this: You’re winding through Ornament Valley riding in a shiny, convertible race car. While taking in the desert scenery and after traveling through an archway, there it is – just to the right – Firewall Falls, the most beautiful waterfall in these here parts.

Well, at least that’s how I felt the first time I rode Radiator Springs Racers at night. It only seems fitting that Firewall Falls is the second waterfall featured in my series, “Waterfalls of the Disneyland Resort.”

Here are a few more photos I captured that morning before sunrise at Radiator Springs Racers. Check back for the next post in my waterfalls series.

  • Thanks so much for the answer, Paul. My passion is Walt Disney World photography so we make 6 to 8 trips a year to feed my addiction. I always like to know what exposure others used to get “that” shot. If I ever make it to Disney Land I’ll be easy to spot – I’ll be the guy lugging a dslr, tripod and 15 lenses through the park!

  • Great photos. I’d love to know what settings you used to get these shots.

    • Craig,
      I use a digital single-lens reflex camera. The first photo was taken with an ISO of 400, aperture of F-22 and a shutter speed of 4 seconds. The last photo settings are ISO 250, aperture F-22 and shutter was set at 8 seconds. Also I used a tripod and a shutter release cable and if you can, lock the mirror up. It’s a good idea to experiment with different settings and see what you like the best.

  • What a view! I think I need to get back to DisneyLand again!

  • it’s a great view when cruising past on the ride, great job by the construction crew 🙂

  • That’s beautiful! It reminds me of Multnomah Falls in Oregon!
