Muppet Mobile Lab in Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Sticking with the Muppets theme this week, I was able to photograph Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, and his assistant, Beaker, entertaining guests on their Muppet Mobile Lab under the large shades near Spaceship Earth in Epcot’s Future World. I decided to put my camera in a portrait orientation as the Mobile Muppet Lab is taller than … Continue reading "Muppet Mobile Lab in Epcot"

Disney Pic of the Week: Universe of Energy

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Back when Epcot first opened in 1982, the concept of using solar panels to produce electricity was still a new and expensive proposition. The Universe of Energy’s roof is filled with such panels which partially power the huge vehicles filled with guests through the attraction teaching when, where, how and what energy is. Universe of … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Universe of Energy"

Disney Pic of the Week: Gardeners

Posted on by Scott Thomas
This week’s theme was to focus attention to all those wonderful Gardeners who keep Walt Disney World looking colorful and lush from the resorts to the themeparks and the roadways in between. I did not find any photos of them in my archives nor did I locate any on my last trip. Instead, I will … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Gardeners"

Disney Pic of the Week: Macro

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I do not own a Macro (or Micro in Nikon speak) lens and have never brought one to Walt Disney World. It would be interesting to explore Disney through such a lens. Imagine the detail you could find with one. Like last week, you can get a Macro like image by cropping which is what … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Macro"

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"

Nikon 24-120mm f/4 VR at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
If you have followed Photographic Innoventions long enough, you would know I am a big fan of Super Zoom Lenses. For a cropped sensor camera, the 18-200mm and 18-300mm are the ranges used. For a full frame sensor camera, the 28-300mm is the range. All are image stabilized (IS for Canon, VR for Nikon and … Continue reading "Nikon 24-120mm f/4 VR at Walt Disney World"

Zoom In Or Zoom Out

Posted on by Lisa Berton
When point and shoot cameras went from fixed lenses to zoom lenses, photography for the average family went to a whole new level. Moms quickly learned to narrow in on their kids’ beautiful green eyes and dads got better images of their soccer stars kicking the winning goal. It’s a basic function of modern-day digital … Continue reading "Zoom In Or Zoom Out"

Disney Pic of the Week: Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I have often heard the story about Walt Disney wanting to use real animals for the Jungle Cruise until someone told him the animals would not be where he wanted them. He quickly switched to Audio-Animatronic animals and the rest, as they say, is history. Still, I think Walt would have approved of the Kilimanjaro … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Disney’s Animal Kingdom"

Using a Super Zoom Lens at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I am a big fan of using Super Zoom lenses on digital SLR cameras. When I travel to places like Walt Disney World, I do not want to be carrying a lot of heavy equipment. A Super Zoom lens lets me go with a small pouch which holds an extra battery, memory cards, lens cleaning … Continue reading "Using a Super Zoom Lens at Walt Disney World"
