Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Motion

Posted on by Scott Thomas
When I am out photographing, I like to include motion shots. Sometimes I will use panning to show motion but that can be hit or miss. Another way to show motion is to slow down the shutter and keep the camera still as a moving object goes past the lens. This is how I got … Continue reading "Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Motion"

The next All Ears Picture This! Photo Meet will be different than past ones. Instead of walking around, this time it will be in one location. The location is along the Epcot Resort Path just off the Disney's Hollywood Studios parking lot (see map below for approximate location at the star).

Adjusting White Balance Inside the American Adventure
