Disney Pic of the Week: The Great Movie Ride

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Back in February of this year (2015), the Sorcerer’s Hat was about 80 percent removed from Disney’s Hollywood Studies. I knew the next time I would visit, the view down Hollywood Blvd. would be very different. Or would it? For Star Wars Weekends and Frozen Summer Fun, Disney placed a large stage in front of … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: The Great Movie Ride"

Tripods at Walt Disney World Review

Posted on by Scott Thomas
A very useful photographer tool for low light and night photography at Walt Disney World is a Tripod. While it is not essential to have a tripod for the upcoming All Ears Picture This! Photo Meet on Saturday, September 12, 2015, having one would allow you to photograph past sunset and into the Blue Hour. … Continue reading "Tripods at Walt Disney World Review"

Disney Pic of the Week: Trashcans

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Trashcans at Walt Disney World are everywhere. You can not walk 20 feet without coming upon one. Sadly, Disney has found in their American parks, such an abundance is needed. When photographing there, it is hard not to get a trashcan in a wide angle composition. This is what happened to me when I was … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Trashcans"

This display has evolved from a fairly static version when the Osborne Lights first appeared on Residential Street of the old Backlot Tour in 1995 to today’s … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Christmas Lights"

I … Continue reading "Main Street Electrical Parade Over Time"

Disney Pic of the Week: Paradise Pier

Posted on by Scott Thomas
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"
