Tag: Spaceship Earth
I’ve seen some Hidden Mickeys in fleeting moments but have been unable to capture them in photos. At times, I can take videos of fast-moving scenes and isolate Hidden Mickeys within those scenes, as in the first two photos that follow. On the journey back down from space in “Spaceship Earth,” you can play an … Continue reading "Possible Hidden Mickeys in Epcot"
Walt Disney World in Black and White
Posted onI always associate Disney with color. Which is interesting because I first watched Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color television show on my family’s black and white tv back in the mid-1960’s. With that in mind, this week I decided to visit each of Walt Disney World’s themeparks in Black and White. All of these … Continue reading "Walt Disney World in Black and White"

Watch Your Edges at Walt Disney World
Posted onMany new photographers make a common mistake of concentrating on their subject and not looking around the subject. Especially the edges of the frame. It is very easy to overlook objects and people creeping in from the sides, top and bottom of a camera’s viewfinder edges. Below is a photo of Spaceship Earth on a … Continue reading "Watch Your Edges at Walt Disney World"
Geometrics at Epcot
Posted onAn image having a strong organization of shapes and forms, which is essentially the geometric elements of the photo, will create a strong composition. When I think Disney and geometric elements, I think Epcot’s Future World. The architecture of the pavilions use many geometric shpapes starting with the triangles on Spaceship Earth. In fact there … Continue reading "Geometrics at Epcot"
Disney Pic of the Week: Photographers Choice
Posted onEpcot’s 25th Anniversary. One of my favorite photos from the re-dedication ceremony is this one of Disney Legend Marty Sklar with Spaceship Earth as the background. Hard to believe that was 10 years ago as Epcot celebrates 35 in October!
Disney Pic of the Week: Epcot Yesterland
Posted onRemember the hysteria as the year 2000 approached? People were worried computers would stop working and computerized systems from air traffic control towers to thermostats would cause all kinds of problems. I sure do as I was running the computer systems for a manufacturing company. Meanwhile, Disney proudly waved a Mickey-handed wand over Spaceship Earth … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Epcot Yesterland"
Photographing a Disney Icon: Spaceship Earth
Posted onI missed a Disney Pic of the Week a couple of week’s ago. You know how it goes sometimes. I got busy, was traveling…yada, yada, yada…I ended up missing the post. I want to make it up to you today. The one I missed was for Spaceship Earth. I figure it is my second most … Continue reading "Photographing a Disney Icon: Spaceship Earth"
Disney Pic of the Week: Spaceship Earth
Posted onFrom aerial photos we turn our attention to Epcot for several weeks. Today, Spaceship Earth! Spaceship Earth is arguably the most photographed building in all of Epcot, perhaps only 2nd to Cinderella’s Castle in all of Walt Disney World. I enjoyed going back through my gallery of photos. From beautiful topiary displays, the magical wands … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Spaceship Earth"
Disney Pic of the Week: Epcot Aerial
Posted onThe aerial subject this week is Epcot. I am recycling an image I took during Epcot’s 30th Anniversary celebration which still represented much of what I remember seeing when I first visited 29 years prior. Future World from the monorail over Epcot.Nikon D700/Tokina 11-16mm, 1/125, f/16, ISO 200, EV -0.6, 16mm focal length. Deb will … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Epcot Aerial"
