Over the weekend, we visited Knott's Berry Farm, one of the first theme parks in the U.S. What I like about Knott's is that the lines are much shorter than those of Disneyland therefore we get to experience more rides within the same amount of time. I also think Knott's has a more interesting variety of rides for young children like our 5-year old, and has more thrill rides (though not as many as Magic Mountain). Although the production value is not as high as that of Disneyland, it is still quite high.
During our visit the heat was intense, reaching 95°F (35°C), just one degree below the all-time record of 96 for that area, and 10 degrees hotter than the average for this time of the year. With the sun blazing overhead, the dynamic range was very wide. I used two different exposure strategies to deal with the dynamic range.
