Having used film cameras my entire life, I was perfectly happy with what I had and the knowledge of how my equipment would perform. I used the proper film speed for where and what I was doing. For my SLRs, I had my flash and battery booster to make it recharge quicker. I love it … Continue reading "Remember to Change Camera Setting"

Disney Pic of the Week – World Showcase at Night
Posted onToday (and Thursday), we take a brief moment to stop and look around Epcot’s World Showcase after the sun goes down. While I prefer seeing foreign (and domesticated) countries during the day, there is a soothing calmness at night.

Backlot-Style Cops
Posted onIf you’ve ever toured a movie studio, you’ve seen the various falsified urban neighborhoods and cities they built on the backlot. With a change of window dressing and paint, a pawn shop turns into a pizzeria. Change out park benches, statues, and trees and you either set up for Ghost Whisperer or Eastwick. It’s fascinating … Continue reading "Backlot-Style Cops"
