Watch Your Edges at Walt Disney World

Posted on
Many new photographers make a common mistake of concentrating on their subject and not looking around the subject. Especially the edges of the frame.

Geometrics at Epcot

An 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.

Disney Pic of the Week: Epcot Yesterland

Posted on
Remember 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.

Fisheye Awakening at Epcot

Lately, when I want to use a prime lens these days at Walt Disney World, I put the Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens on my full-frame digital SLR. A Nikon D750 in my case.

Disney Pic of the Week: Gardeners

This week’s theme was to focus attention to all those wonderful Gardeners who keep Walt Disney World looking colorful and lush from the resorts to the themeparks and the roadways in between. I did not find any photos of them in my archives nor did I locate any on my last trip. Instead, I will … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Gardeners"
