Cinderella Castle Fountain Fisheye – The Remake

In 2011 I took a version of this shot that really was the shot that hooked me for good on Disney Photography. It was the first shot I took where I was framing it and before I even pressed the shutter button I knew it was going to be good. I’ve taken tons of photos over the years but only a handful gave me that feeling of this might be something special when shooting it. Now, 7 years later this shot has been done to death by others, but I thought it might be time for me to have another go at it. Originally shot with a Nikon D7000 and Prooptics 8mm fisheye, this time I approached the shot with the Nikon D810 and Rokinon 12mm fisheye. Combined with 7 more years of editing knowledge I think I’ve come away with a vastly superior version of this shot… at least technically. It doesn’t hold that special place of being THE shot that hooked me on Disney photography.
