Disney Pic of the Week: Echo Lake

Posted on by AllEars
The Imagineers left quite a few nods to the glamour days of Hollywood when they built Disney’s MGM Studios and Echo Lake is a place where you can find all kinds of nuances. Think Rocketeer! There have been a few times, over the years, that Echo Lake was rumored to be demolished, but it’s still … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Echo Lake"

Disney Pic of the Week: Echo Lake

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I have been asked so I am sure Disney Hollywood Studio Cast Members get asked all the time why there is a dinosaur along the shore of Echo Lake. Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction stand was part of the park’s opening day. The link leads you to a Jim Korkis article about the the … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Echo Lake"

Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I enjoyed Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It is not a show with a lot of “Wow” factor like a fireworks show. The music, floats and use of projections on water is very soothing. I will say my experience in watching it was not enjoyable. I saw Rivers of Light in its third … Continue reading "Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom"

Disney Pic of the Week: Sunset Blvd.

Posted on by Scott Thomas
After walking down Sunset Blvd. in Disney’s Hollywood Studios with all its shops full of Hollywood tie-ins and California styled counter service eateries, everyone is confronted by the tall Hollywood Tower Hotel where screams can be heard which thrills many but scares off a few. I often wish Disney could have somehow figured out a … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Sunset Blvd."

Observing the Extraordinary at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. — Photographer Elliott Erwitt While we can all agree Walt Disney World is not an “ordinary … Continue reading "Observing the Extraordinary at Walt Disney World"

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"

Disney Pic of the Week: Hollywood Blvd.

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Things change at Walt Disney World over time. Right now a lot of things are changing at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. A few years ago a big change occurred all over Walt Disney World when Kodak, a long time sponsor, was replaced by Nikon. This changed all the Picture Spots and the photography store on Hollywood … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Hollywood Blvd."

Watch Your Edges at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Many 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"

Disney Pic of the Week: Train

Posted on by Scott Thomas
The trains at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World give people an enjoyable and relaxing experience. They are also a good way to bypass Main Street USA when the parade is going on. Walking the path between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, people can photograph the trains as they slowly leave Fantasyland station. If the engineer … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Train"

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. In fact there … Continue reading "Geometrics at Epcot"
