Another shot from my series of Disney infrared photos. While I don’t normally do too well photography-wise at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, with only 15 minutes to use my infrared camera there, I think I got a fair amount of keepers. This is partially, I think, because the white of the infrared greenery (well, what would
After the Pirates of the Caribbean Helmsman, this is the most difficult-to-photograph dark ride scene in all of Walt Disney World. Capturing a good shot of the caretaker requires great timing, great manual focusing skills (or great luck with auto-focus!), fast lenses, and a camera capable of clean high ISOs. The last point is especially
If you’ve ever been to Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye in Disneyland, you know that this is one of the coolest queues of any attraction anywhere. You also know that it’s pretty dark. Luckily, on our recent trip, a Cast Member let us linger in this area as the attraction closed so
While editing a World of Color photo, I noticed that I shot over 200 photos of the show the last time we saw it. I’ve been wanting to practice and refine my time-lapse video editing skills, so I figured I’d edit all of the photos and create a time-lapse video out of them. Given that
Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Walt Disney World’s flagship resort, is an incredibly gorgeous sight, no matter if it’s viewed at night or during the day. During the day, it’s gorgeous red roof is complimented wonderfully be the bright blue Florida skies, and at night, it’s lit-up reflection shines beautifully when viewed across the Seven
Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my favorite Disney attractions. While I prefer the version of the attraction at Disneyland to the version at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, the Magic Kingdom’s exterior is definitely better. Nothing against the New Orleans Square charm of Disneyland’s version, I just prefer the look of
I’m not exactly pleased with how this photo turned out compared to what I envisioned, but I do like the presence of the two Cast Members on the right. They really gives the Castle scale, I think. What do you think of today’s photo? Let us know by leaving a comment or giving it a
After the success of the previous night, we had pretty high expectations for our last morning. Of course, before we could do anything, we had to pack up our luggage and deliver it to bell services. This is never an easy task. Sarah always has a lot of crazy women-stuff, like a blow dryer, hair
When counting down our trips to Walt Disney World and Disneyland, Sarah and I love to create calendars to help make the countdown fun! For those curious, I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 to make these countdown calendars. I found a basic calendar template via Google Image Search, and layered in photos and text (free fonts
Continuing on “fireworks week,” here’s a photo from last summer’s fireworks show at Walt Disney World, called “Summer Nightastic Fireworks.” This show was a modified version of the display that ran a couple of years earlier at the now defunct Pirate and Princess Parties. As the show was originally created for a hard ticket event,
Disneyland and Walt Disney World show a number of fireworks shows on an almost nightly basis. At Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Wishes! is the main show with HalloWishes and Holiday Wishes! shown seasonally. Epcot also gets in the fireworks act, with the beautiful Illuminations. Disneyland’s main show is called “Remember… Dreams Come True,” and
