Late Night Buena Vista Street
The smalltown atmosphere of Buena Vista Street is a marked contrast
to the slicker, more elegant Main Street, U.S.A. across the Esplanade,
but Disney California Adventure's entry land certainly has its own
charm. Photographically, however, I find it a little more challenging
to shoot, because the more subdued lighting and less prominent
storefronts means the same angles that might be interesting over on Main
Street aren't quite so interesting over here. Plus, the Hyperion
Bridge--rethemed from the Golden Gate Bridge of DCA's previous Sunshine
Plaza entry and in place to allow the Disneyland Monorail to
pass--literally interrupts the composition.
However, every once in a while, I'll snag a perspective that does appeal to me. And in this case, the layered perpendicular elements, cranked at an angle, give this photo a direction, sense of layering, and movement that would normally not apply. Plus, it's such a long exposure (30 seconds) that the sky appears a remarkable gem-like blue, which certainly doesn't hurt!
