Shutterspeed Variations

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Changing only the shutterspeed makes a difference in how your photos look. They don’t need to be action shots either to see the variation. These four examples demonstrate enormous changes in the feel of an image. Using my Canon PowerShot SX100 IS, I found a nice table to lean on during Epcot’s Food and Wine … Continue reading "Shutterspeed Variations"

During the Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot, the Gardens of the World tour is offered. I went on this tour on April 1, 2011.

Diffusion Filters Soften the Scene

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Call me old school if you’d like but as I lean more towards traditional photography, this week’s theme was my idea. While nowadays you can use computer software to easily manipulate images there’s nothing quite like creating a specific look and feel to an image the moment you hit the shutter button.

Disney Pic of the Week – Monorail

Posted on by Barrie Brewer
The Monorail is such a favorite mode of transportation that some would even call it an attraction! In fact, I’d go as far to say that it’s a symbol for the Disney Parks in the U.S. Its “elevated” status has led us to declare it the topic for this week’s Pic of the Week. Come … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Monorail"
