Believe me when I say I wanted to do the Frontierland Shooting Exposition justice when I photographed it. It took me no less than 3 separate attempts to shoot this just right. On my first try, my lens was suffering from an unnoticed back-focusing problem. On the second attempt, I tried shooting the scene during its sunset phase, which just didn’t come out looking quite right. On my final attempt I waited until the night portion fully set in, and I have to say I’m very pleased with the results.
