Disney Pic of the Week: Hollywood Blvd

Posted on by AllEars
I’m a tad embarrassed to admit this to you, but Disney’s Hollywood Studios is probably the park I have photographed the least. That face became abundantly clear when I realized I have very few older photos of good ole’ “MGM”. However, I DO have a press kit from WALT Disney Imagineering dated 1989, that has … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Hollywood Blvd"

Geometrics at Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
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.

Hidden Mickeys in the Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland and Splash Mountain

I’ve been wondering about a few images that folks have let me know about. This first image is on the steampunk dragon (Maleficent) in the Festival of Fantasy parade.
