Grizzly Peak

Grizzly Peak Waterfall – Chris Marquez

I realized during this trip that I’ve never taken a photo of the waterfalls at Grizzly Peak. That needed to change! I used an ND filter for this shot and attached my camera to just a ballhead – no tripod legs. Using just the ballhead helped me place the camera further out (past the railing […]

Main Street USA

Main Street USA – Chris Marquez

I always get a sad feeling when I know it’s almost time to leave the park (and that’s usually when security CM’s are guiding me and the other few guests that are left toward the exit), but a stroll down Main Street USA makes exiting the park a little easier, especially when there’s hardly anyone […]

Flo's V8 Cafe on Route 66

Flo’s V8 Café on Route 66 – Chris Marquez

Cars Land is a challenging place for me to photograph at night. (It’s the neon!) But who doesn’t love a photo challenge, right? It’s opportunities like this that really show me what the camera is capable of. I was able to pull back the highlights, bring up the shadows and still get the colors and […]

Floral Mickey

Goodnight Floral Mickey – Chris Marquez

Sometimes I forget to turn around while exiting Disneyland to get one last glimpse of this scene. And as you can see I didn’t forget that night. The Disneyland Railroad Main Street station with the garden/Floral Mickey in front makes for a beautiful photo, especially at night. The Cast Members behind me were kind enough […]

Prison Dog

Prison Dog – Chris Marquez

A classic scene I (and I’m sure most, if not all of us) try to take while riding The Pirates of the Caribbean. I had the shot you see above in mind for a while so each time we rode it I had to sit on the right side of the boat to get it. […]

Sleeping Beauty Castle

Path to Sleeping Beauty Castle – Chris Marquez

I’ll be honest, I don’t like cropping my photos, but I felt this one may have been better off with it. I’m going to have another go at this scene the next time I’m there. Unfortunately, it’ll be a while. I’m happy to say that I finally did some bracketing during this trip and took three different […]

Ursula

Poor Unfortunate Souls – Chris Marquez

This is probably my favorite part of The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure ride. As soon as the “Under the Sea” song fades, the lighting gets dim and you’re greeted by Flotsam and Jetsam entering Ursula’s lair. With the amount of time you’re given to take photos of the 7.5 foot tall and 12 foot […]

Haunted Mansion

Room For One More – Chris Marquez

Going back to my first night of photography in the parks with this photo. I was the last one to walk through the gate entrance before it closed behind me. It was an eerie feeling being the very last one to enter the Haunted Mansion. There was definitely room for one more. This was a […]

Village Haus Restaurant

Village Haus Restaurant – Chris Marquez

My wife and I were intimidated by the crowds at the Village Haus Restaurant, but we were determined to try different things during this trip (and every trip to follow.) The lines were a bit long, but the service was quick! We got our food in no time and even had a choice between a […]

A Towering Clover – Chris Marquez

I noticed this view of the Tower of Terror much earlier that day while sitting near the base of the clover on the right with my son waiting for my wife and daughter to finish riding Flik’s Flyers. I made a mental note to come back at night to capture it. I’ve seen quite a […]
