Gorilla Photography at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

June 12, 2020 by Scott Thomas

It is not every walk on the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail in Disney’s Animal Kingdom which is photographically satisfying. Often the Gorillas are either not moving or hiding behind trees. However, on most visits, the bachelor troup is often very active. While gorillas can walk upright on their back legs, they knuckle walk most of … Continue reading "Gorilla Photography at Disney’s Animal Kingdom"

Calm Nights at Walt Disney World

June 5, 2020 by Scott Thomas

One of my favorite photography things to do at Walt Disney World is to linger late into the night in one of the parks with camera, tripod and the beauty of a still evening. Behind the Flame Tree BBQ in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there is a seating area which overlooks this scene of Expedition EVEREST. Using … Continue reading "Calm Nights at Walt Disney World"

Disney Pic of the Week: Magic Kingdom Train Engineer

June 2, 2020 by Scott Thomas

Back in April, I asked for ideas for future Disney Pic of the Week themes. K. Miller suggested in this time of Cast Member furloughs until Walt Disney World re-opens again, we should salute them. I wholeheartedly agree! The train engineers at Magic Kingdom always give me a good show when they see me photographing them. I always … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Magic Kingdom Train Engineer"

Spaceship Earth with Graduated Filter Mask

Adding Drama to Epcot’s Spaceship Earth

May 22, 2020 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"

Disney Pic of the Week: Water Transportation

May 19, 2020 by Scott Thomas

Walt Disney World features many kinds of water transportation from small water taxis to the huge Magic Kingdom ferryboats. For me, the most relaxing and surprisingly maneuverable are the Friendship Boats found on Epcot’s World Showcase lagoon and the waterways between Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. What mode of water transportation is your favorite at Walt … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Water Transportation"

Disney Pic of the Week: Water Reflection

May 12, 2020 by Scott Thomas

Finding a good water reflection at Walt Disney World is like finding a new Hidden Mickey for a photographer. Smooth, calm water is hard to find with the use of various watercraft and Florida breezes. Sometimes you have to settle for not a perfect reflection but a nice one. On this evening, the water in … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Water Reflection"

Photographing Walt Disney World Restaurant Interiors

May 8, 2020 by Scott Thomas

Back in February, I shared how I photographed Walt Disney World restaurants. At the end of the article, I mentioned I would do a future one about photographing a restaurant’s interior. This is it. My subject is the Le Cellier restaurant at the Canada pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase. Le Cellier is a very dim … Continue reading "Photographing Walt Disney World Restaurant Interiors"
