Spaceship Earth with Graduated Filter Mask

Adding Drama to Epcot’s Spaceship Earth

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Sometimes I look at a photo and know it has more potential than what I see straight out of the camera. For instance, this photo of Spaceship Earth in Epcot’s Future World is good but looks a little flat. All the elements are pretty much the same color and exposure. I wanted to add some … Continue reading "Adding Drama to Epcot’s Spaceship Earth"

Disney Pic of the Week: Water Transportation

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Walt Disney World features many kinds of water transportation from small water taxis to the huge Magic Kingdom ferryboats. For me, the most relaxing and surprisingly maneuverable are the Friendship Boats found on Epcot’s World Showcase lagoon and the waterways between Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. What mode of water transportation is your favorite at Walt … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Water Transportation"

Disney Pic of the Week: Water Reflection

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Finding a good water reflection at Walt Disney World is like finding a new Hidden Mickey for a photographer. Smooth, calm water is hard to find with the use of various watercraft and Florida breezes. Sometimes you have to settle for not a perfect reflection but a nice one. On this evening, the water in … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Water Reflection"

Photographing Walt Disney World Restaurant Interiors

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Back in February, I shared how I photographed Walt Disney World restaurants. At the end of the article, I mentioned I would do a future one about photographing a restaurant’s interior. This is it. My subject is the Le Cellier restaurant at the Canada pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase. Le Cellier is a very dim … Continue reading "Photographing Walt Disney World Restaurant Interiors"

Farewell to the British Revolution at Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Little did I know when I photographed the British Revolution performing at the United Kingdom pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase on Friday, March 5, 2020, it would be for the last time. What I have always enjoyed about the entertainment at Walt Disney World and specifically around the World Showcase pavilions is how close you … Continue reading "Farewell to the British Revolution at Epcot"

Photographing Clouds at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Clear blue skies are lovely to most people. For me, I look for clouds to give the sky drama in my photography. For instance, as I was walking around Epcot’s World Showcase towards the Koutoubia Minaret (prayer tower) in the Morocco pavilion, I noticed the lovely cloud pattern in the sky above it. Late November and … Continue reading "Photographing Clouds at Walt Disney World"
