Unlike a lot of other photographers, I don’t do much multi-exposure HDR. It’s not because I dislike it. If done well, I think it can look great (conversely, I think a lot of it looks awful). It’s because I simply don’t have the time. There are some Walt Disney World and Disneyland scenes that are
We got to Disney’s Hollywood Studios before the sunset, but unfortunately, there wasn’t a beautiful sunset to photograph from any of the places I scoured in the park. I’ve had this issue many times at Disney’s Hollywood Studios: it appears the sunset will be gorgeous as the sky leading up to it looks great, but
Hollywood Brown Derby is an upscale signature dining restaurant at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World that serves American cuisine. This review features food photos, thoughts on the style, and our take on whether the restaurant is worth the money. Hollywood Brown Derby is themed to the Golden Age of Hollywood, and is an
It was the second day of our trip, and we still had yet to experience any attractions. To be fair, our Epcot visit was short-lived, especially for Sarah, but it still felt a little odd to visit the park and not do any attractions. On the agenda for that morning was Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We

These lights obviously meant a lot to
Chapter 1: The Three “P”s — Peer Pressure & Planning: This trip was born around the beginning of the year, when a couple of my Flickr contacts informed me of a photography oriented trip they would be taking in October with some other folks from Flickr (see above cast list for links to their photography).
The next day was another Magic Kingdom day. Since we only had an hour and a half before lunch reservations, we decided to do our Monorail resort tour first, so my parents could see the decorations at the Grand Floridian (we had already been to the Polynesian, which wasn’t exactly loaded with decorations–what happened to
Welcome to our Christmas 2010 Walt Disney World Trip Report! For those of you who have been following our Saga in our other reports, thank you for joining us once again! For those first time readers, thanks for opening this thread–we hope it doesn’t disappoint! The trip began in its typical manner, under chaotic circumstances.
CHAPTER III: Our Kingdom Awaits Given the late start, there was little point to head to the Studios, especially since the attractions we most wanted to experience would likely have long waits and far-away FastPass windows, and we were only planning on staying in the Studios until noon. Instead, we headed off to the Magic
Part 1 CHAPTER I: The Calm Before the Storm The trip to Walt Disney World started out as all of our trips (well, most, as we do fly out of Chicago-Midway sometimes) do, with an early morning trip to the Indianapolis International Airport. Once we arrive and check our bags with Southwest, we make the
