If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!
This was taken this evening at MGM Studios in Disney World before we went to go see the big fireworks show. The only problem with making your family and 6-year-old son (he is now 8) stand around while you set up your tripod and take a bunch of shots is that it gives them ample opportunity to see little toys they cannot live without.
I took so long to nail this shot that we ended up buying two things that lit up in garish colors and made a lot of racket.
This is a 5 exposure HDR shot at 100 ISO. Whenever there is anything like streaming lights, sun rays, search lights, and the like, the HDR process always makes them pop a bit.

Our giant reticulated friend, unable to articulate, was forced to gesticulate in the most ridiculous manner.

This hotel is great. We have a room that overlooks the Savannah and we can see giraffes, zebras, and about a dozen other exotic animals frolicking about. Thank goodness I brought the 200mm lens... although this one was taken with the 10mm Sigma.
Last night we had the Pirates and Princesses party. I was trying to figure out why so many adults were standing in line to get autographs from a Disney actor that was pretending to be Jack Sparrow, another actor. Mass hysteria, I say!

I am here in Disney World trying to be a good dad after too much traveling for work lately. This place is like Disney for me because there are so many great photo opportunities!

This is the Twilight Zone ride - the Hollywood Tower of Terror at MGM Studios at Disney World. The ride was great and got a big thumbs up from us. The coolest thing, as always with Disney rides, is the decor, the costumes, the lighting, and the art direction embedded in the "Line Experience". This is also one of the first rides I know of that has a "randomizer" so that the experience is different and you never know what you are gonna get.
