Spaceship Earth with Graduated Filter Mask

Adding Drama to Epcot’s Spaceship Earth

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Sometimes I look at a photo and know it has more potential than what I see straight out of the camera. For instance, this photo of Spaceship Earth in Epcot’s Future World is good but looks a little flat. All the elements are pretty much the same color and exposure. I wanted to add some … Continue reading "Adding Drama to Epcot’s Spaceship Earth"

What I have always enjoyed about the entertainment at Walt Disney World and specifically around the World Showcase pavilions is how close you … Continue reading "Farewell to the British Revolution at Epcot"

Cinderella Castle with Clouds

Photographing Clouds at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Clear blue skies are lovely to most people. For me, I look for clouds to give the sky drama in my photography. For instance, as I was walking around Epcot’s World Showcase towards the Koutoubia Minaret (prayer tower) in the Morocco pavilion, I noticed the lovely cloud pattern in the sky above it. Late November and … Continue reading "Photographing Clouds at Walt Disney World"

Galaxy’s Edge Food and Beverage Locations

A new land at Walt Disney World means new places to eat and drink. Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios has some very unique and out of this world locations. To capture the detail of Ronto Roasters I found an out of the way place to set up my tripod. I took a set of five photos … Continue reading "Galaxy’s Edge Food and Beverage Locations"

Luckily, you can find the all over Walt Disney World. For instance, in the Magic Kingdom, I found just outside the entrance to Adventureland this Tiki … Continue reading "Portraiture in the Magic Kingdom"

Topiaries from the 2020 Flower and Garden Festival

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Enjoyed photographing this year’s edition of the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival during my recent visit. With all the construction currently going in Future World, World Showcase hosted most of this year’s topiaries. Between Canada and the United Kingdom pavilions, I found a flashback to my college days when The Muppet Movie premiered. When Kermit the … Continue reading "Topiaries from the 2020 Flower and Garden Festival"
