Disney Pic of the Week: Panorama

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I have written about how to create a proper panorama photo in the past and how NOT to create them. I did fail to mention the easiest way to create what I call pseudo-panoramics. A pseudo-panoramic is done by cropping an image taken with a wide angle lens in a panoramic aspect ratio like 16×9 … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Panorama"

Return of the Fisheye Lens to Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Back in 2013, I wrote about my ideas for using a Fisheye lens. What I did not say was how easy it was to leave the Fisheye lens on the camera. Case in point was this day in Epcot. My family started the day with a FastPass+ at Test Track. I had an idea for … Continue reading "Return of the Fisheye Lens to Epcot"

Disney Pic of the Week: The Seas with Nemo and Friends

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Like Test Track, The Seas with Nemo and Friends evolved from the original The Living Seas pavilion which opened with Epcot back in 1982. The popularity of the movie, Finding Nemo, made the transition an easy one for Disney. It was nice to see people of all ages enjoying this pavilion on my last visit. … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: The Seas with Nemo and Friends"

Let’s do another Step Back in Time. This black and white photo is from a press kit I own called “The Land, Presented by Kraft”. It only has three photos but lots of press releases about the pavilion.

This first photo is of the huge banner that was outside the pavilion during construction. Many people, myself included, were anxious to see what this new attraction was all about.

Not everyone likes to see changes at Walt Disney World. I do as I like to see today’s Imagineers try to out-imagine their predesessors. Take today’s Test Track in Epcot’s Future World. Test Track was the successor to the World of Motion which was one of the original attractions when Epcot opened on October 1, … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Test Track"
