Colorful Dumbo – Sean Spansel
I think every Disney photographer has a Dumbo shot in their portfolio. This was a shot that I’ve always wanted to do, but never found the time on my trips to set it up. My last trip in January 2015, I was armed with a new 12mm fisheye and knew this was the lens I had been waiting for, to take this shot. I took a few clicks before settling on one I was satisfied with, starting with the colors and alignment of the Dumbos. Many times, you’ll see this scene shot with a long shutter where the ride cars are not distinguishable, but I chose to set my shutter to a speed that showed enough motion, but not too much and I’m thrilled with the way it came out.
