Lanterns Around World Showcase

Come join me and Jack Spence on Saturday, September 3rd for a meet-and-greet before taking on Dinosaur at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We’ll be there at 10:30am.

Epcot’s World Showcase is a photographer’s paradise filled with color, texture, various materials, light, and shadows. When I think of it, I go in with a plan to concentrate on something specific. While the intention is there, it might take me a few trips to get enough of one topic to be content with before posting.

Once I saw that several pavilions had lanterns, I went back and got a few shots. Perhaps on my upcoming trip I’llf find a few more.

In Morocco you’ll find colorful glass designs hanging in several rooms and buildings. Just look up. The rich colors glow against gorgeous woods of varying shades.

By placing the subject to the side and having it closer to the lens, it pops out more from the background.

Over in China, the residential-like area with all of its details usually goes unnoticed as Guests make their way in and out of the gift shop and counter service dining. Stop yourself in your tracks and look around. There’s a story surrounding you.

How you frame the subject makes a big difference. By having items in the foreground that are out of focus and darker, the eye is drawn right into the subject, centered and well lit.

Italy with its open promenade is popular among shoppers and diners and those enjoying the live entertainment. If you pull back from the hot spots, your view will change.

When various depths are sharp, it helps to place you in the picture and imagine being there much like a postcard does.
