It has been awhile since I addressed the topic of photographing on a ride at Walt Disney World.

Super Bokeh at the Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Scott Thomas
For me, the most fun you can have photographing in a Disney property is taking only one lens for a time period like a day.

A fun lens to use at Walt Disney World is an Ultra Wide Angle (UWA) Zoom Lens. For a Full frame camera, it means a lens starting at around 16mm. For a cropped sensor camera, 10mm or 11mm is a good starting focal length. Currently, I use a Nikon 16-35mm f/4G ED VR Lens on … Continue reading "Using a Wide Angle Zoom at the Magic Kingdom"
