Universal Studios California at night on 12/11/17 amusement parks long exposure photography

I had bothered to pack around my huge Nikon D810 full frame camera all around with us. Even on most rides with us to get some of these impressive clear shots of our adventures. My camera has a 28mm to 300mm zoom lens to get a good range of shots from my location. I had also carried around a small pocket tripod as well to get these cool night shots of the lights, which requires a very long exposure when setting the camera at the lowest ISO of 64, with a very tight aperture of f/4.2 to f/13. The images required between 1/20 second exposure up to 6 seconds long, so the people in them are usually a blur, since I was not going to shout out to tell them to hold perfectly still for this shot.

These images also represent hundreds of hours of editing work at home to refine these images, so I hope you can appreciate what I have shared with you here.
