Disney Pic of the Week: Souvenirs for Kids

Posted on by Scott Thomas
This week’s theme is Souvenirs for Kids. In my mind, plush toys are the most popular toys which kids want at any Disney themepark. Sized and priced for newborns all the way up to the kid in all of us. Shops like MouseGear in Epcot have shelves and even whole rooms filled with them. I … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Souvenirs for Kids"

Disney Pic of the Week: 1980s

Posted on by AllEars
The 1980s… sadly I never stepped foot in the Magic Kingdom or Epcot during the 80s. So, once again I have to go elsewhere for a photo. Did you know Epcot once had real elephants in Future World? It did, in a special event called the Daredevil Circus Spectacular. Here is a photo a friend … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: 1980s"

Muppet Mobile Lab in Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Sticking with the Muppets theme this week, I was able to photograph Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, and his assistant, Beaker, entertaining guests on their Muppet Mobile Lab under the large shades near Spaceship Earth in Epcot’s Future World. I decided to put my camera in a portrait orientation as the Mobile Muppet Lab is taller than … Continue reading "Muppet Mobile Lab in Epcot"

Watch Your Edges at Walt Disney World

Many new photographers make a common mistake of concentrating on their subject and not looking around the subject. Especially the edges of the frame. It is very easy to overlook objects and people creeping in from the sides, top and bottom of a camera’s viewfinder edges. Below is a photo of Spaceship Earth on a … Continue reading "Watch Your Edges at Walt Disney World"

Geometrics at Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
An image having a strong organization of shapes and forms, which is essentially the geometric elements of the photo, will create a strong composition. When I think Disney and geometric elements, I think Epcot’s Future World. The architecture of the pavilions use many geometric shpapes starting with the triangles on Spaceship Earth. In fact there … Continue reading "Geometrics at Epcot"

Disney PIc of the Week: Monorails

After a long and fun day at Epcot, seeing a monorail entering the station for the trip back to the Ticket and Transportation Center before heading to the Magic Kingdom to catch a late fireworks show is a very welcome sight. The seats are comfortable and the ride smooth. Monorail Green entering Epcot station.Nikon D700/Tokina … Continue reading "Disney PIc of the Week: Monorails"
