In Search of Nepal at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I know I will never travel to Nepal like Indiana Jones did. Luckily, I can photograph Walt Disney World’s version of Nepal at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Expedition: EVEREST. I am always searching for new angles and compositions like Indy searched for rare artifacts. Walking over the metal bridge with Everest behind me I spotted one … Continue reading "In Search of Nepal at Disney’s Animal Kingdom"

Last week, we discussed the type of equipment needed for Architectural Photography at Walt Disney World. For Part 2, we are going to explore how composition plays an important part in using that equipment.

Walt Disney World in Black and White

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I always associate Disney with color. Which is interesting because I first watched Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color television show on my family’s black and white tv back in the mid-1960’s. With that in mind, this week I decided to visit each of Walt Disney World’s themeparks in Black and White. All of these … Continue reading "Walt Disney World in Black and White"

Of all the parks, Disney’s Animal Kingdom has wonderful landscape photography locations if you know where to look. Below is a photo taken back in 2009 which is why you do not see the recently added seating for the night time Rivers of Light show.

Disney PIc of the Week: Magic Kingdom Landscape

Posted on by Scott Thomas
For the next few weeks, Deb and I will be sharing our landscape photography from Walt Disney World. The definition of Landscape Photography is showing spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. That’s pretty broad. Must people think of vast expanses showing mountains, deserts, oceans and other such places when … Continue reading "Disney PIc of the Week: Magic Kingdom Landscape"

Disney Pic of the Week: Echo Lake

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I have been asked so I am sure Disney Hollywood Studio Cast Members get asked all the time why there is a dinosaur along the shore of Echo Lake. Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction stand was part of the park’s opening day. The link leads you to a Jim Korkis article about the the … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Echo Lake"

Observing the Extraordinary at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. — Photographer Elliott Erwitt While we can all agree Walt Disney World is not an “ordinary … Continue reading "Observing the Extraordinary at Walt Disney World"

Watch Your Edges at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
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"
