We recently had the opportunity to visit Disneyland California and I had to take a couple of iconic photos - something that looks like it came from a brochure or the like; all in addition to the requisite princess photos ...
Shutter Speed: 1/320s
ISO:100
Aperture: F7.1
Focal Length: 33mm
Lens: Tamron 17-55mm
This particular image has a few key elements in it - Mickey, of course; the Toontown writing on the "hillside" behind; the fountain; and the house behind. My goal was to try and capture all of these elements without making it too distracting while telling the story of where the image was taken. The trickiest part was the Toontown in the background - a bit more to the left or right and it gets cut off, either by the tree or by Mickey.
The other tricky part was not getting any people in the image - I had to set up my composition and then wait until the scene was clear. Luckily it was right after this part of the park opened, so it wasn't thronged with thousands of people.
The cloud is a nice element that breaks up the sky and interacts well with Mickey's director's baton.
