These Wordless Wednesday shots are from our May visit. We were heading to the back of the park to get ready for the park to empty before the After Hours event started. We decided very last minute to watch Wishes, so we had a less than ideal viewing angle. I wasn’t going to shoot anything, but just watch. I didn’t have a tripod with me anyway. Then I saw the way the fireworks were shining through that balloon, so I had to take some shots and see what I’d get.
Ideally, I would have shot instead using a tripod and and ND filter, but I suppose I can say I was exploring my artistic limits by using a Mickey balloon for a lens filter. Not the greatest fireworks shots, but a different perspective on a classic Walt Disney World show. I like the effects the balloon gives.
