Posted on by Scott Thomas
I have shared this view of Expedition EVEREST in Disney’s Animal Kingdom before. Last December, as I walked over the bridge to Africa from Discovery Island, I noticed the late afternoon sunlight with high wispy clouds overhead and stopped to photograph. Photographing the same scene at different times of day and year can yield many looks. … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Landscape"

Pandora Red Flower

Beauty of Pandora

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Pandora – The World of Avatar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom has so much detail. Especially, the flora (plants). It is sometimes hard to determine what is real and what was created. Really, can you tell? I know the tree is real but is the red flower? Pretty sure the yellow one is imagined. The blue … Continue reading "Beauty of Pandora"

After an early breakfast at the Crystal Palace, the Magic Kingdom had not officially opened and was very quiet. The Rivers of America was still enough to become a reflective surface. Like any photographer, I took full advantage. First up was Harper’s Mill on Tom Sawyer Island being reflected in the water. Harper’s Mill on … Continue reading "Frontierland Reflections in the Magic Kingdom"

Disney PIc of the Week: Magic Kingdom Landscape

The definition of Landscape Photography is showing spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. That’s pretty broad. Must people think of vast expanses showing mountains, deserts, oceans and other such places when … Continue reading "Disney PIc of the Week: Magic Kingdom Landscape"

Anchoring Your Photography at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas

I use anchors a lot at Walt Disney World especially when I have a wide angle lens on my camera. Wide angle lenses allow … Continue reading "Anchoring Your Photography at Walt Disney World"
