Disney Pic of the Week: Future World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I first visited Epcot’s Future World a year after it opened. EPCOT Center, as it was known then, had its critics but I was not one of them.

I still had the heart of the 7 … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Future World"

September Disney World Calendar

Posted on by Barrie Brewer
I thought I’d share a picture of the Space Shuttle launching over Mission Space in Epcot for the September calendar. This was taken when I was there this past May. I felt like Mission Space was the perfect place to catch one of the last launches that we may see, at least for awhile. You … Continue reading "September Disney World Calendar"

Disney Pic of the Week: Spaceship Earth Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
As the iconic symbol of Epcot, Spaceship Earth has been photographed almost as much as Cinderella Castle. Trying to find a unique way of presenting it is nearly impossible.

Walt Disney World at f/2.8

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Fast lenses for digital SLR cameras have a maximum aperture of f/2.8 or bigger. Except for the Nifty-Fifty which are 50mm prime lenses at f/1.8, fast lenses are expensive. Most of the lenses in this class are considered some of the best ever made. Over the last three years, I have purchased two f/2.8 lenses … Continue reading "Walt Disney World at f/2.8"
