Which new country would you like to see in World Showcase? EPCOT’s World Showcase has always fascinated me. I love different cultures and getting to know them. I have adopted many traditions from them and try to better myself. This was the vision of the World Showcase and hopefully bridging better relationships between nations. There […]

I remember the Submarine Voyage as a kid and how exciting it was to take a ride in a “real” submarine. As an adult, I was glad to see that it was brought back (under the Nemo branding) for my kids to enjoy. Nowadays, we don’t ride it much if not at all but I […]

Does bad weather deter you from going to the parks? The other day it rained, and rained, and rained, and I couldn’t believe people still wanted to ride rides in Animal Kingdom. Luckily, I knew what rain meant for me. I got off work and raced home to get my camera gear and went right […]

At certain times during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party the villains take the stage to strut their stuff. This lucky shot was captured with a Nikon D4 and a 24-70mm f2.8 lens. The camera was set to 1/320th of a second because these characters were moving very quickly! The f stop was set to […]

Unfortunately, like many things at Walt Disney World lately, the meet and greet portion of the Disney Villains’ Dance Mix and Mingle has been eliminated. I however was very lucky to get the opportunity to capture our gal Maleficent with the Castle in the background after the show in October of 2013. Usually she has […]

To get an angle this wide I relied on a Nikon full frame 16mm rectilinear fish eye lens that had a 180 degree angle of view. I had the camera mounted on a tripod and I wasn’t shy about walking back and forth while looking through the viewfinder to line up the shot. A final […]

Color and animation across erupt from the bay each night at Disney California Adventure. If you and your camera are looking to take in the action from the front row then you better bring something to keep you both dry! Adjustments in Lightroom, Color Efex Pro 2, and Viveza.

This was my first time using a fisheye lens in the Magic Kingdom. I really love the distorted perspective it gives. This is one of the shots I had planned on taking with it. It was very late so I had time to figure out what I wanted to do without worrying about people walking […]

This is a 9 exposure tone map using Photomatix Pro version 4.2.7 It was imported to Photoshop CS6 and further tweaked in Camera Raw. Although some others disagree, I feel that having that 9 exposure spread really paid off when capturing the range of light and colors of this composition. The color dynamics of the […]
