When I began processing my images from the Star Wars village at Hollywood Studios, I quickly realized that pretty much half of my shots were taken using my iPhone. I'm sure that's because I knew my sons in Indianapolis would probably be interested in seeing what was there, as both are fans of the Star Wars stories, so "immediacy" became important.
The photo of the Millennium Falcon leading off the post is an HDR rendering from my Canon 6D, but many of the shots below are iPhone shots.
There is a "ride" in the Star Wars village called "Rise of the Resistance" that is unlike any other I experienced in the sundry theme parks during our visit to the Orlando area. The first portion integrates visitors into a "plot" in which the Dark Side is preparing to fend off an attack by the resistance. Visitors are "captured" and brought to an area for an "interrogation." After we deny any knowledge about the resistance's battle plans, we're taken to the actual ride ... which puts us in a large cup, we're strapped in, then the cup begins to take us on a journey along a track that weaves in, out and around as a video of a battle unfolds before us on omni-present screens throughout the ride. Sometimes the cup takes you right up to the screen almost where the larger-than life activity gets briefly intense.
