Photographing Disney’s Polynesian Resort Lobby

I have yet to stay at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. I have found many reasons to visit as the lobby is one of the best places to hang out while waiting for a dining reservation at either ‘Ohana or Kona Cafe restaurants. In the case of the next two photos, I was enjoying the tropical atmosphere … Continue reading "Photographing Disney’s Polynesian Resort Lobby"

A Topiary Salute to Woody

Posted on by Lisa Berton
It’s extraordinary what Disney horticulturists do with plants, flowers, and metal. Every year Epcot boasts an explosion of talent all over the park in the form of character topiaries during the Flower and Garden Festival. While some character topiaries add to the location they’re in, others fit into the lay of the land perfectly. I … Continue reading "A Topiary Salute to Woody"

Scenes of Epcot’s World Showcase

When I was spending some time at the Ticket and Transportation Center at Walt Disney World last fall, I was watching the monorails enter and leave the station. I took photos in … Continue reading "Vertical Monorails at Walt Disney World"

Photographic Innoventions: Creative Uses of Aperture

Posted on by Scott Thomas
As we learned earlier, aperture is the size of the opening in the camera’s lens measured in f-stops. I know it sounds weird but the smaller the f-stop number the larger the opening. I want to show you today how you can take advantage of apertures to create outstanding photographs. Maximum Depth of Field or … Continue reading "Photographic Innoventions: Creative Uses of Aperture"
