I joined my sister Donna and a few friends recently at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Debbie and Randy are old friends of Donna’s, and they came to Disney World for a short visit with their grandson Charlie. Donna made her own travel plans without their knowledge and surprised them on their arrival day to Disney World! … Continue reading "Meeting Disney Friends and a Hidden Mickey Double Take"

Rule Breaking with Symmetry

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Symmetry in it’s purest sense is an object which, if cut directly down the middle, would be mirror images of each other. It’s one of the ways to break the Rule of Thirds correctly. Hope that doesn’t confuse you. It’s easy to find a symmetrical object but the images I’ve chosen to show you here … Continue reading "Rule Breaking with Symmetry"

Case for Using a Polarizer Filter

Posted on by Scott Thomas
In this age when photo software can duplicate almost any effect film photographers used filters for, I still find one filter very useful. The Polarizing filter does just what polarizer sunglasses do, they cut down on the glare from the sun. Most people use a circular polarizing filter which means the filter moves once it … Continue reading "Case for Using a Polarizer Filter"

Metadata Revisited

Posted on by Scott Thomas

While it does take time to add them, it’s not as time consuming as it sounds. Photo management software like Apple’s Aperture 2, Adobe’s Lightroom … Continue reading "Metadata Revisited"

My Bonus Trip to WDW – Part 5

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
You can blame commando Lee for the fact that there was no blog entry yesterday. Since it was his only day to play in the parks he made the most of it – we got a short afternoon break back in the room, but that was it. We started our day with a three mile … Continue reading "My Bonus Trip to WDW – Part 5"
