Watching Festival of Fantasy from the Magic Kingdom hub is definately one of the best spots. Getting Cinderella's Castle in the shot makes it even more fun!
I love watching Wishes from Fantasyland. It's so much less crowded than on Main Street and the fireworks are so much closer to you, which I personally like. Yes, the best view is of course Main Street and nothing beats watching them there. But, for the comfort factor alone, Fantasyland is a great spot too. I keep adjusting my workflow lately, and have again experimented with some different layering techniques for this fireworks shot. I did a post-fireworks bracket shot of the foreground scene, and then layered in different fireworks shots into the sky. I like how it turned out, but let me know what you think too! What’s your favorite spot to watch the fireworks from?
I've been experimenting with different composite HDR techniques, and think I may have settled on a new one. Lightroom CC’s in-house app works pretty well, but the ghost removal is horrible compared to Photoshop or NIK. Doing a bit of both, where the output and color adjustments are done in Lightroom, and then compositing another output from Photoshop in areas that need some touchup. Liking the results so far. Image seems cleaner and more balanced. Please view at my website for full details and let me know what you think!
