Disney’s California Adventure Animation Building

Posted on by Scott Thomas
The Disney Animation Building in Disney’s California Adventure is a must for the Disney fan. When I was there last fall, it was not a very busy place especially soon after park opening. I virtually had the place to myself. Upon entering the building, you are presented with a large room with big screens showing … Continue reading "Disney’s California Adventure Animation Building"

Photographing the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel at Night

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Photographing in the Magic Kingdom at night is a lot of fun. Especially, late at night as the crowd thins out and photographers can set up their tripods almost anywhere. Which is exactly what I did in Fantasyland to photograph the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel. Did you know the carousel has 2,325 lights on it? … Continue reading "Photographing the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel at Night"

Using a Super Zoom Lens at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I am a big fan of using Super Zoom lenses on digital SLR cameras. When I travel to places like Walt Disney World, I do not want to be carrying a lot of heavy equipment. A Super Zoom lens lets me go with a small pouch which holds an extra battery, memory cards, lens cleaning … Continue reading "Using a Super Zoom Lens at Walt Disney World"

Travel Photography at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Really, Scott? Isn’t the title redundant? We all take travel photos at Walt Disney World, don’t we? Well, yes and no. While photos taken at any Disney property can be considered travel photographs, do they tell a story? Do they give someone looking at the photo a sense of place? Travel photography should do both. … Continue reading "Travel Photography at Walt Disney World"
