Space, The Flower Frontier

Description

One theme of this trip was Disney security quickly closing out the areas after park closing. This of course is disheartening for a photographer like myself, but this particular night was the worst. I shot Illuminations from the fountain and immediately rushed over to get some shots of Test Track and Mission Space. I spent about 3-4 minutes shooting Test Track and quickly moved over to Mission Space. I'm setup and shooting in about 25 seconds when I see a Disney manager heading my way. I know shooting in this area is about to come to an end (so quickly too =) but I'm already 2 shots into a 5 shot bracket and on #4 by the time he get's to me.

Disney Park Manager : Are you with Disney?
Me: Uuuuuh, no?
Disney Park Manager : This area is closed, you have to leave.
At this point I'm about 3 seconds into my 5th and final shot for the bracket which lasts 30 seconds.
Me: Ok, can I just finish this last exposure that has 20 seconds?
Disney Park Manager : No
I look at my wife who is with me like is this guy kidding?

So of course I just stood there and let the exposure finish anyway without saying another word, picked up my tripod and walked out. Bonus: Dude followed right behind us til he made it to the bathrooms where he trailed off to go make sure the woman with her 2 children at the restroom exited the area immediately as it was "closed."

I'm sure people will probably fall on both sides of the coin on this one, but I can't ever remember a time when I've asked to finish a shot as an area was closing and was told basically to leave immediately. Come on dude, 20 seconds isn't going to kill you. I then proceeded to the front of Epcot and shot around Spaceship Earth for over an hour more as people continued to trail out of the park.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this shot and thanks for looking!

Technical : 5 shot bracket, 16 layer adjustments, 4 layer masks.
