Disney Pic of the Week – Star Tours

Posted on by Barrie Brewer
Why I scheduled myself to be the one to introduce this week’s Pic of the Week, Star Tours, I’ll never know. I usually try to match the topics with the interests of Scott and Lisa and myself. For example, Lisa got to introduce Princes – that totally makes sense, right? Unfortunately, I know very little … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Star Tours"

Tick-Tock

Posted on by Barrie Brewer
Copyright © 2010 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D300, 11-16mm, 1/80 sec, f/2.8, ISO 1600 This clock looks a little worse for wear. But I suppose if I were being swallowed by a crocodile I wouldn’t look so good either! Tick-Tock, the crocodile from Peter Pan, can be found in the World of Disney at Downtown Disney.

Tiny Train

Posted on by Barrie Brewer
Copyright © 2007 Barrie Brewer Ok, I admit, this is a little bit of a cheat. But it is a train, so technically, I can use it for my Pic of the Week. No one said it couldn’t be a miniature train. This one can be found next to the Germany pavilion in Epcot’s World … Continue reading "Tiny Train"

Animal Portraits

Posted on by Scott Thomas
In the past I have shown you a portrait of a Wood Stork but I never went into details as to how to make a good animal portrait. The principles are the same as a good human portrait. Good lighting, good background, sharp focus, fill the frame (or crop after) and good exposure. In most … Continue reading "Animal Portraits"

Disney Pic of the Week – Bars and Lounges

Posted on by Barrie Brewer
Given that I often travel solo to Walt Disney World and my tolerance for counter service meals is pretty low, I often find myself bellying up to the bars of some of the sit down restaurants for my meals. You can make a very nice meal from a couple of appetizers and many of the … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Bars and Lounges"

September Disney World Calendar

Posted on by Barrie Brewer
I thought I’d share a picture of the Space Shuttle launching over Mission Space in Epcot for the September calendar. This was taken when I was there this past May. I felt like Mission Space was the perfect place to catch one of the last launches that we may see, at least for awhile. You … Continue reading "September Disney World Calendar"

Jungle Cruise Joy

Posted on by Barrie Brewer
Copyright © 2010 Barrie Brewer, Nikon D300, 11-16mm, 1/13 sec, f/2.8, ISO 2500 I think these baby elephants playing in the water are so cute. They remind me of a picture in a Disneyland book that I had as a child. In fact, I don’t remember any other specific pictures from the book, just the … Continue reading "Jungle Cruise Joy"
