I went with my family to Disneyland in Anaheim to celebrate grandchildren's birthdays. I tested the R5 for ISO capabilities and was able to practice some long exposures. I recently got a 16 stop filter to accomplish this. I was disappointed I couldnt get any night shots as the park on California side closed early. I still got a cool 3 minute exposure in a partly cloudy day. I thought the effects were cool. All other long exposures were taken with a 4 stop filter. All originals can be seen in this forum https://www.joeltpowell.com/Cityscapes/i-TfsxQQQ/A
Thanks for looking

Yes to Disney and their theme parks. I believe I enjoyed DisneyWorld more as an adult than if I were to visit as a "kid". These are really fine compositions Joel. Everything is so sharp and crisp.
Did you hand-hold the long exposures?
The blurred water, rides and lake are super!
Well done!

Thank you Dan. All the exposures are hand held with the exception of the 3 minute exposure (Disney Ferris Wheel). On the ferris wheel I used a mini tripod from Manfrotto. I didn't know this but Chad was telling me that tripods are not allowed in the parks. I didn't take it anyways. The mini one worked great and it fit in my back pack unnoticed. It fit very neatly on the ledge of the fence and was able to get a few really long exposures.
On a side note. I have been to Disneyland probably a 100 times as a kid and teen. Me and my cousins would go every Thursday evening and ride the Matterhorn and Space Mountain till the park closed. It was never crowded and we could ride as much as we wanted. As an adult I have been probably just a few. Its changed a lot. We were talking this trip and I realized I first rode Space Mountain 48 years ago. It was pretty much brand new then. It hasn't changed at all. I was saying to my kids that riding it feels as close to motorcycle racing as anything I can describe.

I have and USE that mini tripod Joel!
Nice to have this in your area Joel!
Glad memories of your childhood are fresh!
I have hand tremors Joel. They can get pretty bad at times. I have found that the new bodies with IBIS and in conjunction with an IS lens allow me to shoot, at previously lousy shots, fine
Hence my question.

The IBIS is amazing in the new bodies. And yes, that mini tripod is one of the most used things in my bag. And cheap! We cant say that about photography! ! I think it was about $20 off Amazon. IBIS and Manfrotto mini tripod is an equalizer!

I have a new Fuji100sii and it has IBIS and sure takes the "pain" away from the shakes Joel!

Nicely done. This the current info on tripods, etc,: Selfie sticks, hand-held extension poles for cameras or mobile devices, flags and banners are not allowed in any theme park.
Tripods or monopod stands that cannot fit inside a standard backpack or that extend over 6’ (182 cm) are not allowed in any theme park.
I'd suggest checking before going, It does change now and then.

Beautiful images. I especially liked how you captured the bumper cars. It brings back how the "jolts" felt like when I was a kid.

You are underestimating your talents and overestimating mine Joel! Don't(yur talent)!!!

I appreciate that Dan. I measure myself to Chad cause he taught me how to shoot. I still have one of his shots of my son on the wall printed on aluminum. My first gear was bought from him...I have always tried to be as technically as sound as he is. I love his photography.

Joel, you really got some incredible images I like the compositions and perfect use of shutter speed to get nice texture in water. Good stuff

Thank you Steve. I was taking photos cause I cant ride anything that spins..... I get sick.

I grew up having "car sickness"(motion sickness). I was relegated to the rear of the family station wagon with a tin cup and "barf bag"!
Then when I was drafted I went airborne also!!! Go figure!
