Disney Pic of the Week: Macro

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I do not own a Macro (or Micro in Nikon speak) lens and have never brought one to Walt Disney World. It would be interesting to explore Disney through such a lens. Imagine the detail you could find with one. Like last week, you can get a Macro like image by cropping which is what … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Macro"

Posted on by Scott Thomas
On my last trip to Walt Disney World, I went light by only bringing the Nikon AF-S 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens.

Framing the Gates of Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Unlike framing a picture to hang on a wall, using a “frame” in your photographs is very different. By doing so you give the image added depth, leads the viewer to the main subject and gives the photo context and sense of place. This is especially true with architectural subjects like arches or gates. Epcot’s … Continue reading "Framing the Gates of Epcot"

Photographing the American Adventure in Epcot

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Photographing the American Adventure audio-animatronics show in Epcot’s World Showcase is just like photographing one with live performers. Disney lights their shows the same regardless of the kind of performers. Very moody with bright areas used to focus the audience’s attention where the show’s producers want them to. I set my camera up to use … Continue reading "Photographing the American Adventure in Epcot"
