Continuing the tradition of my “Top 11 Disney Photos of 2011” post of my best 2011 Disneyland and Walt Disney World photos, here are my best* 2012 Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris photos. While I’m using the “clever” strategy of giving myself another slot on this list by making it correspond with the
Do you wish you could photograph fireworks better? Do you have difficulty photographing fireworks? If the answer to either of these questions is “yes,” you should check out the new eBook I co-authored, detailing how to photograph fireworks. The eBook, called Fireworks Photography, is a collaborative effort between me and those crazy hooligans, Cory and
Kingdom Camera Rentals is the newest specialty rental service catered to Walt Disney World guests, and unlike similar services for strollers, golf carts, and RVs, this one is right up my alley. I had first heard about Kingdom Camera Rentals a few months ago, and was intrigued. Admittedly, I have not been a big proponent
The results from our Disney Photography Survey are in! The purpose of the survey was to get some information so that I can write photography content that will appeal to readers more in the future, but I thought the results were pretty interesting and worth sharing. All told, we have had 287 people respond to
In my Nikon D600 Review that I posted upon first receiving my D600, I mostly presented lab-style shots comparing the camera to the Nikon D700 and Nikon D7000. As I’m not too keen on cold and calculated lab-style photos (most photographers edit their photos and don’t confine themselves to lab settings when actually taking photos),
The Nikon D600 is the first “entry level” full frame DSLR. This D600 review offers real world comparison photos from Nikon D600 and D700 and D7000, the two cameras to which the Nikon D600 has been (sometimes pejoratively) compared. As I presently own all three cameras, I thought these controlled tests in addition to my
Note: this article was originally published in September 2011 and was most recently revised in September 2013 after purchase and use of additional neutral density filters. A few years ago, I bought my first neutral density filter. Before making the purchase, I did an inordinate amount of research (as I do with everything in my
Our Nikon D7000 review includes specs, price, sample photos and comparisons to other DSLR cameras so you can determine whether the Nikon D7000 crop sensor digital camera is right for you. For those unfamiliar with the Nikon D7000, it’s a “pro-sumer” (or what Nikon calls its “professional-standard camera”) DSLR that, depending upon how you look
This photography review covers the Nikon 18-200mm Nikkor f/3.5-5.6G ED DX VR, which is viewed as a great “vacation lens” or “superzoom” for photographers. This seemingly makes it the perfect lens for Walt Disney World or Disneyland photography. What this means is that, while it compromises image quality, speed, and build quality, it compensates for
This Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 review discussed the pros and cons of this mid-range zoom lens, plus has a ton of sample photos that I have taken in real world shooting with the lens. While I have a full page (and then some) devoted to different photography equipment, accessory, book, and software recommendations for Walt Disney
2011 was an amazing year for us from the perspective of Disney trips. We took 4 trips to Walt Disney World and 2 trips to Disneyland this year, which was our most ever by a landslide. If you’ve read any of our trip reports, you know I’m fairly verbose, so in lieu of writing about
