Trying to Photography Too Much at Walt Disney World

Way back in the early Nineteen-Eighties, I researched for months before my first trip to Walt Disney World. Back then there was only the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. All the time was well worth it as my honeymoon turned out fantastic. Today, it is easy to tell when talking with people after they returned from … Continue reading "Trying to Photography Too Much at Walt Disney World"

Adding People to Your Walt Disney World Photographs

Posted on
I try to avoid touristy shots when I am photographing at Walt Disney World. Static photos of an empty park while nice is not something I like to do. The parks only come alive when their are people involved. Whether they are cast members or guests, seeing people interact with another person or thing is … Continue reading "Adding People to Your Walt Disney World Photographs"

There is always something new to discover at Walt Disney World. While I had seen in the past the beautiful mosaic murals in the Cinderella Castle archway in the Magic Kingdom, I had never taken the time to photograph them.

Disney Pic of the Week: Rain

It is amazing to see how fast the shops and snack areas at Walt Disney World get out rain ponchos at the first hint of rain. Of course, seasoned Disney park goers know to buy them before they travel to save money, right? I know a rainy day at any Disney themepark can be a … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Rain"

Disney Pic of the Week: Paradise Pier

Posted on
Paradise Pier in Disney’s California Adventure was a most pleasant surprise. I knew California Screamin’ was going to be a blast but the overall feel of the place did remind me of the East Coast boardwalks with fun games, popular rides with a Disney twist and good food. Like those boardwalks, when night falls a … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Paradise Pier"
