Black and White – Follow the Lantern

Posted on by Lisa Berton
When I was in photography school, I used to argue with my Photojournalism teacher. I was 100% certain that I only wanted to shoot in color and at the time it was because I was completely entranced by the crystal blue oceans, bright green grass, and constant sunshine of California. No, I wasn’t living in … Continue reading "Black and White – Follow the Lantern"

Hong Kong The Hub and Fantasyland

Posted on by Jack Spence
Before entering Fantasyland, let’s start in the Hub. One of the first things you might notice is that the Partners statue (Walt & Mickey) is not present here like it is in Florida, California, and Tokyo. In Paris it’s located in the Walt Disney Studios instead of Disneyland. I don’t know if Disney has plans … Continue reading "Hong Kong The Hub and Fantasyland"

Just like a telescope, the longer the focal length, the smaller angle of view is seen through the camera’s viewfinder. This has the effect of compressing objects at different distances … Continue reading "Photographic Innoventions: Telephoto Compression"
