Prince Charming Regal Carrousel

Posted on by Lisa Berton
This time around (Get it? Around? Carrousel?), I’m going to show you what my loving Canon EOS 30D, Canon 17-40mm USM L, and I shot at Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World. It was an early morning and I staggered my way through Cinderella Castle into Fantasyland. Cartoon birds hovered around me, chirping classic Disney tunes … Continue reading "Prince Charming Regal Carrousel"

Make Room for Minnie

Posted on by Lisa Berton
I have a new strategy when it comes to shopping. Should I find something that I want and know that I truly don’t need, I take a photograph of it. My savings thank me because it’s far more important to purchase a new mattress than a bag full of pins or a dresser filled with … Continue reading "Make Room for Minnie"

Disney Pic of the Week – Hollywood Studios

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Disney’s Hollywood Studios wants you to live the Hollywood life by surrounding you with stunt shows, singers and dancers, endless jay walking opportunities, waiters who are really comedians, and over priced food and drink. At least the streets are cleaner. The Great Movie Ride is a great ride about great movies and movies perceived as … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Hollywood Studios"

Easy Enhancements for Digital Photos

Posted on by Lisa Berton
There are plenty of reasons as to why photographers do post-production work on digital images. For instance, a shadow may have been so dark that detail was lost or someone’s arm crept into the frame and needed to be cropped out. Simple adjustments like these were made in the darkroom by dodging the print or … Continue reading "Easy Enhancements for Digital Photos"

Stop, Look, Focus, and then Take the Photo

Posted on by Lisa Berton
The plane took me to New Orleans, Louisiana where my friend Terri picked me up and went on to play tour guide for several days. That’s right, kids, I’m going to expose you to non-Disney images. Don’t freak out on me. All lessons can be applied to Disney Parks or Disney Cruise Line and even … Continue reading "Stop, Look, Focus, and then Take the Photo"

Disney Pic of the Week – Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Scott and I begin the new year by concentrating on Walt Disney World parks. It’s a big place, that’s for certain, and we could probably fill 52 weeks with photos of just Florida parks but we won’t. So…there! Put on some mouse ears and get ready for the wildest ride in the wilderness. Snow White, … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Magic Kingdom"

Disney Pic of the Week – Year in Review As usual, I got my tuchas out of the house in search of new adventure. Beyond Walt Disney World (I’ll go back to the topic), I journeyed with friends Karen and Susan to Vermont, Connecticut, and Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts.

Morning Light over New Fantasyland

Posted on by Lisa Berton
It’s a rare occasion that we Disney geeks are given the chance to enter a park before 8 am. Unless there’s a special event or you’ve scored an 8:05 am reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table (or another restaurant serving breakfast), you’ll just have to live with making rope drop. I made it into Magic Kingdom … Continue reading "Morning Light over New Fantasyland"

Travel back in time to October, 2009 at one of the Children’s Hospital of Orange County’s Walk in the Park at Disneyland. Along the route, fundraisers could stop and take photos of many beloved characters. Cast Members wanted people to keep moving so you could not obtain autographs or pose with characters until the park … Continue reading "Photo Album – Princess Tiana & Prince Naveen"
