For Star Wars Weekends and Frozen Summer Fun, Disney placed a large stage in front of … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: The Great Movie Ride"

Tripods at Walt Disney World Review

Posted on by Scott Thomas
A very useful photographer tool for low light and night photography at Walt Disney World is a Tripod. While it is not essential to have a tripod for the upcoming All Ears Picture This!

All Ears Photo Meet near Disney’s Hollywood Studios

The next All Ears Picture This! Photo Meet will be different than past ones. Instead of walking around, this time it will be in one location. The location is along the Epcot Resort Path just off the Disney's Hollywood Studios parking lot (see map below for approximate location at the star). I will be there starting at 6:30pm on Saturday, September 12, 2015.

When photographing there, it is hard not to get a trashcan in a wide angle composition. This is what happened to me when I was … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Trashcans"

Neon Night Photography

Posted on by Lisa Berton
Over the years, one of the most common questions asked of Scott, Barrie (you remember her), and me, is about night photography. Our reply always includes the need for a tripod or steady flat surface so that your camera is still. Why does it need to remain motionless? Because is in order for the digital … Continue reading "Neon Night Photography"
