An Aperture Mantra in the All American Rose Garden

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Aperture is a strange concept when learning photography. Aperture is defined as the size of the opening in the lens that light passes through before it hits the photographic medium which, these days, is an electronic sensor at the back of the camera. Aperture is also measured in some strange language called f-stops. F-stop numbers … Continue reading "An Aperture Mantra in the All American Rose Garden"

Bad Fireworks Turned Psychedelic

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Coming up on the end of a long day in the Magic Kingdom, I knew Wishes was about to begin. With me was a tiny lightweight tripod with bendable legs designed for holding small point and shoot cameras.

Captain Hook is on the Run

Posted on by Lisa Berton
During a solo trip several years back, I came upon some knowledge. Characters currently performing in front of the castle would run out from the side, around the corner (in Fantasyland) and then through Cinderella Castle back out onstage.

Deep Colored Partners Statue in the Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Scott Thomas
How does a landscape photographer get those deep colors in their photos? Is it all done in photo software? There was no such thing as photo software a couple of decades ago. So, while today’s digital photographers may use software to deepen or saturate colors, it is easier to do so right in the camera. … Continue reading "Deep Colored Partners Statue in the Magic Kingdom"

Disney in Negative Space

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I never studied art so the concept of negative space has eluded me. I would get comments on my photos saying they had made good use of negative space. Turns out every photo has negative space which is defined as the space around an object of attention. Photos can have little or a lot of … Continue reading "Disney in Negative Space"

Image Stabilization and Tripods Don’t Mix

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Stabilized camera and lens technology over the last few years have made taking low light photos easier to do. I have talked about the various lens manufacturers stabilization technologies before.

Photographing Fireworks – Part 2

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Last week I talked about how I photograph fireworks at Walt Disney World. This week I will use the same technique of a tripod, cable shutter release and setting the shutter speed to Bulb in Manual exposure mode. This allows me to control how long the shutter will be open. So, what’s different? I am … Continue reading "Photographing Fireworks – Part 2"
