Stormball

If you’ve read my about page, you know that shooting before a storm is one of my favorite times to be out with a camera.  This opportunity at Epcot, was just too good to pass up.

Sitting Area

Sitting Area at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club

Another one from Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club.  I photographed this the same day I captured the corridor at the Yacht and Beach Club Convention Center.  I was drawn to the texture in the chairs and the symmetry.  Sometimes it’s the simple things that draw you in.

Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club

I was able to spend some time last week at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club, and wow- was it ever a treat!  Everything about the resort is top notch.  What you see here is the main corridor of the resort’s Convention Center.  I was fascinated with this hallway and the symmetry on display.   Many thanks go to the staff, who were very kind and accommodating as I took my time shooting.

Le Chefs De France, Epcot World Showcase

One of my favorite images from Epcot.  This was taken around dusk as a storm was rolling in.  It was one of those times I seriously thought it may be a bad idea to be running around with large metal lightning rod (i.e. my tripod).  Still, the sky was beautiful and the shot was worth it.

I had a chance to eat here during my honeymoon (some moons ago now), and the food is quite good.  It’s very well worth it.

The Lion

This shot of an adult male lion sitting in the savannah at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of favorites.  There is something very thoughtful about the way he is looking out at his territory.

Magic Kingdom Fireworks from Fantasyland

Disney World Fireworks from Fantasyland

Another shot from the photowalk friday night.  This was definitely a different perspective for me.  I’m really looking forward to the Fantasyland expansion being completed.  Shooting the fireworks from the new locations is going to be first on my list as most of the show you see here was actually behind where I was setup.

Cinderella Castle

 

Last minute photowalk yesterday here in Orlando with Trey Ratcliff, William Beem, Gilmar Smith, Mike Blank and Keith Barrett.  It was an interesting and fun time.  Here’s a shot I captured of Cinderella Castle.

Not in the frame but below me and off to the left was Trey who was shooting shooting a water reflection he created with the help of several Disney cast members.  It was funny watching him corral his helpers to get the water just in the right spot.

Disney Fireworks in Black and White

The last of the fireworks photos from Disney’s 40th Anniversary.  I have a couple more shots from the night but this is the last of the fireworks I plan on posting.

This is a single raw B&W HDR by the way.

Another one from Disney’s 40th Anniversary Fireworks

I have a couple more from this night.  Tomorrow’s will be a black and white fireworks HDR that I like.  I also plan on posting the video from the Photographer’s Weekly Hangout on Monday so look for that.

 

 

Disney World 40th Anniversary Fireworks

I normally never post this late, but today is the Special 40th Anniversary of Walt Disney World. I have a couple more shots from the fireworks and other happenings during the night.

Wil post more in the coming day or so, but enjoy this one for now!
