One of my favorite seasons to visit Walt Disney World is the Fall. Make sure to stop by the Magic Kingdom, which is dressed in Halloween decor and on certain nights it hosts Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. There are plenty photo opportunities throughout the park! For this photo I used my Canon T1i, Tamron […]

Before talking about this photo, I’d like to give credit to Michael Greening on Flickr who took a photo very similar photo at Disneyland that inspired me to take this shot and also to Starbucks for making their pumpkin spice lattes which are what got me through the 4 hours of waiting required to make […]

I shot this very late at night, after enjoying Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. On these nights, the Magic Kingdom is decorated to a whole new level….and there are colors and lights that you won’t see at any other time of the year. Add in some cool trick-or-treating Lady Renata and the Headless Horseman….and you have […]

I stumbled upon this shot haphazardly the other day when roaming through the park. The fireworks didn’t provide too much lighting next to the Ray Bradbury tree – but the contrast in color was simply stunning. If you don’t know about the Ray Bradbury tree – it’s a lone decorated tree in Frontierland that appears […]

The haunted organ is one of the many challenging areas to capture inside the Haunted Mansion – this is my most successful attempt. You can even see the bat-shaped music holder on the organ, which itself is a replica of the original 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea organ that is in Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion, after […]

This is probably my best shot taken on The Great Movie Ride. Either I’m on the wrong side of the vehicle or I wasn’t quick enough to get the shot in time. These two factors seemed to be in my favor and made for a great image. There is a lot going on in this […]

Typhoon Lagoon, one of the water parks at Walt Disney World, is known for its large wave lagoon, as well as its speed slides. But one of our favorite things there is Castaway Creek. Castaway Creek is Typhoon Lagoon’s “lazy river,” on which you can get on a tube and float around leisurely for as […]

As they say in real estate, “Location is EVERYTHING!” To shoot from this position you have to be willing to stake your spot well over 2 hours in advance. Even arriving that early you can be assured that there will be people there who have waited even longer. I find that a tall tripod is […]

I was coming back to the Boardwalk Resort from Disney Hollywood Studios with my wife and girls. As we walked onto the boardwalk I noticed how empty it was. I let the girls continue on while I stopped to take a few photos. I chose to shoot the bench looking back instead of with the […]

One of the more exhilarating attractions at Walt Disney World is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starrring Aerosmith. It’s located at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. As you approach this attraction on Sunset Blvd., make sure to look up and this is the first thing you’ll see. For this photo I used my Canon T1i, Tamron 18-270mm lens, […]
