Pictures in no particular order.

Not a theme park person , but since waifu insisted to bring my gal to visit, .. obliged.

Disney Resort Line, plush seats, Mickey windows.

Single Shot, Bulb mode, Black Card technique except I used my waifu's black hat, came handy since there was an unfortunate light drizzle. Unfortunately plays late at night , an hour before the fireworks the whole area already floor space choped. Had to clone off some rain drop marks, thankfully nothing in the center.

Was originally hoping to catch someone sticking their heads out, but the impromptu smile completed the picture.

Lots of birds, but my focal length too short.

Being plus size is really sad. Nobody gives a damn about the bui meimei in teacup.🥹🥹🥹

Every photographers only aim at capturing beautiful stuff.
That’s life. it’s like good food every one want to eat and ts has an eye for it

And reality is also that most people eat at home food not tasty. That’s life also

u can treat photography as escapism (other than war and journalism), we just want to see beautiful things

Amen to this.

Had dinner around 6pm at Plaza Inn, nested within Disney. Food was ok, portions not big, and naturally expensive.

53764672192_6c4c76e776_b.jpg


1/4 roast goose + gu lu rou + garoupa fish slices + white rice and tea = 1027 HKD

By the time we came out at 7pm, the area in front of the castle was packed with people sitting.

Food in the theme park is generally expensive, if can bring own drinks and food, then go ahead. Everything uses chinese cleaver tok carrots.

Another single exposure take.

Tiagong from 2 staffs that an alternative place to take fireworks photo would be the Disney railway station near the entrance, from the train platform, can use a telephoto for a more compressed view.

All in all we did not buy any fast pass, and probably clocked >80% of the games. The rain might have helped dissuaded would be visitors from entering ..

Always a bonus to have impromptu eye contact, occasionally can get into some trouble.
