Picture This!

My Shooting Location: Universal's Islands of Adventure, Toon Lagoon, Me Ship, the Olive

Subject: Horton, who sits atop Caro-Seuss-el in Seuss Landing

Camera: Canon PowerShot SX30 IS

Balance: Elbows locked and rested on a wooden fence.

Lunch: I brought tuna and bought a croissant and bite size honey dew at a bakery.

Mode: Auto

Digital zoom set at 1.7

Q: What is a digital zoom?

A: A digital zoom is a camera trick that goes vroom. The optical lens goes as far as it can. Then the digital zoom increases the size of the man. He'll become somewhat blurry. Though he's not in a hurry.

Digital zoom set at 2.1

Q: When can I use it?

A: If there's plenty of daylight don't have a fit. Make your body steady. Take the photo when you're ready.

Digital zoom set at stanard, 50x

Q: Will my pictures look better?

A: Think of a fuzzy Deinse Huxtable sweater. The pixels get bigger and the clarity lesser. Listen to me, I don't lie like Vanessa.

Digital zoom set to standard, 140x

Here's proof, a visual, an example of my reason. Horton's trunk with a flower in season. It's hard to decipher and blurred it surpasses. If you stare too long you might need to wear glasses.

I thought about writing this in spanish and I considered dropping references to famous Mexicans but instead voy a escribirlo en spanglish y cantare una cancion de Thalia o Luis Miguel o tal vez OV7.

After escaping with Captain EO, folks head into Epcot's World Showcase, a glimpse at 11 countries y un poquito de Africa. Mexico esta a la izquierdo. There are more eating and drinking choices in Mexico than any other pais. Un bar tequila y un restaurante estan inside the Aztec temple. Outside you'll find a margarita stand, a counter service eatery, and a sit down restaurant. The pyramid also houses a mercado where it siempre esta de noche and my beloved Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros.

Detail, detail, detail. Discover "ancient art" as you enter the pyramid or as I like to call it, Temple Beth Mexico.

To all who come to this photo trivia game, Welcome! Along the way, the photos can make us relive memories and see details Walt's Imagineers put into everything we love in Walt Disney World!

I can't believe I forgot to wish all the moms a Happy Mother's Day! So please take my belated wishes and thank you to Chris Kelly, Kerry A., and everyone who wished me a good holiday!

Chris Hanna, thank you for such a wonderful note! I appreciate it. :-)

Adrienne Bedsole, does this mean you just started playing our little game? Well, then! Here comes the Magic Kingdom steam train to greet you! (Wow, new players two weeks in a row...)

Lee Anastasi asked, “How on earth do you type all of those names? 495?!!!” Well, Lee, that's the kind of dedication we have here on the photo blog. Whatever it takes to make the readers-- ok, I'll confess. I don't type the winners' names. I import the weekly entries into a spreadsheet, mark the winners and sort by that column, copy them and replace the carriage return with a comma, and then paste them into the winner announcement. It sounds longer than it is, which is good because I prefer using the time to say hi to you guys.

Hi!

Here was last week's Challenge:

And here's the answer:

Copyright © 2011 Erin Blackwell, Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS, f/5, 1/8s, 14mm, ISO 1600

Hurry, Players! We have to get onboard the Jungle Cruise! I hear you see a very rare sight: the backside of water!

Clinton Dickinson sent in this answer: “In keeping with the last picture: Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this boat actually leaving the dock? Or is it your imagination? And consider this dismaying observation: this boat is completely surrounded with water, and I'm you skipper. Which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out! Of course you could always swim away!”

That was amazing! Bravo! I am blown away! Jennifer Harmon, don't you wish you heard this as you rode the Jungle Cruise last week?

Patrick Broaddus, good one about the alligators and crocodiles!

The “Good Team Effort” award this week goes to Vera Williams and daughter Heidi, granddaughter Izzy, and daughter in law Stephanie. You can be honorary skippers on today's attraction!

Challenge #230: Where in the world is this?

Put your park tickets away, Players, because we don't need this for this week's Challenge!

Please do not post answers using the Feedback Form link at the bottom of this post. Remember to be specific with your answer - just naming a park will not get you into the drawing.

See you next week, Players!

Disney Land and Sea.

Scott is on vacation this week. This time he is doing a Land and Sea trip to Walt Disney World which will include a 4-night cruise on the Disney Dream followed by a stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. He'll be back next week with more Disney photography information and tips.

You can follow Scott on his Disney Twitter feed @Scottwdw or on Google+ at Scott Thomas as he will be posting comments and photos during the trip.

I occassionally catch singing and dancing when entering the Magic Kingdom, be it at Walt Disney World or Disneyland. Stopping to enjoy it is another story as I'm usually off to meet up with friends. I urge you to take a few minutes and hang back, relax, and appreciate the moment you just stumbled into.

My friend and co-AllEars.Net teamster, Jack Spence, wrote a piece complete with video footage of the Main Street Trolley Show about 2 years ago. I'll let him tell you all about the performance.

Disney Pic of the Week - Main Street, U.S.A.

You'll find me on Facebook.

A long, long time ago (February 29, 2012) in a state far, far, away (from my home) a fantastic event took place. Legions of sleepless fans and sugar-induced kids of all ages descended upon a happy place for it opened it's gates for 24 hours straight begining at 6 AM Pacific. These photos and comments tell the tale of one such crazed girl who lasted almost 19 hours without a nap. Although her oh-so-awesome friend Yoli took a nap for her while sitting upright in a not-so-comfortable wooden chair, upstairs in The Golden Horseshoe while a gazillion people made endless noise before Billy Hill and the Hillbillies took the stage for the first time that day at 11:15 PM to a standing room only crowd. :breathe:

When I arrived at the esplanade, it was still dark out, and only those who had slept overnight were allowed through the gates. I couldn't make heads or tails out of the queue. There was an undercover Disney security guard at bag check for those with bracelets. He's not a morning person or good at being undercover since he showed me his badge.

For those familiar with the area, there were multiple lines running thru the bus drop off lot. Then the line went down Harbor Blvd and supposedly ended at the satelite parking lot. I sat down on a bench and waited for the line to end and here it is.

At least one news crew was present. This cameraman got the ears people camped out for 8 hours or more to receive. The same image was used on large button pins and handed out for free to everyone.

Start your morning off with a hug from Minnie.

Yes, the first thing I did was rent a locker. It was one of the best decisions I made. My friends and I made good use of it as we added and subtracted clothing layers throughout the day.

My little buddy Logan piloted Dumbo for me. He found my backseat driving comical as I kept saying "Up, up, up!"

Mmmm. Chocolate covered apples. I don't think I bought anything. What's wrong with me?

Is this a Woozle? I was probably getting tired by this point. I should have had some candy.

This is the infamous Yoli. That's all I am going to say. Sit girl, sit.

I think it was my friend Jenn who first noticed this very un-Disney-like lack of cleaning. The light was filled with dead bugs and there was heavy dust in the ceiling, and around the light. Maintenance, please report to Roger Rabbit Car-Toon Spin and examine the queue.

Around bedtime, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy hosted a pajama party. They danced and posed for photos. It was very popular with those still conscious.

On our way out we caught more pajama party fun and these 2 hams. It was a good end to a very long morning/day/night. Yoli & I left Disneyland around 12:30-1 am, drove back to the hotel down the street that I had so smartly booked and konked out. We hit Downtown Disney, Goofy's Kitchen, and the Disneyland Hotel about 8 hours later.

Keep up with my freelance writing and photography via my Facebook page.

I often tell people until I walk up Main Street USA, I have not arrived at Walt Disney World. The sights, sounds and smells are like walking into the past to the time of Walt Disney's imagined everyday Main Street. As we all know, Walt had quite the imagination so his Main Street is full of lively characters and entertainers. Not to mention colorful ones like the Dapper Dans Barbershop Quartet who come out to sing to guests everyday. Make sure you grab an entertainment guide upon entering the Magic Kingdom so you do not miss them.

Lisa will be here on Thursday to share her Main Street USA photo for our Disney Pic of the Week.

To all who come to this photo trivia game, Welcome! Along the way, the photos can make us relive memories and see details Walt's Imagineers put into everything we love in Walt Disney World!

Hobbes And Snorky, even if you're not first to get the answer right, you're the first to get a shout out! Is that good? :)

Rob And April Vanderpool, not only do I remember and still love the old Zippidy Do Dah Tip Of The Day, I have the music as a ringtone!

Yeah, you, Carol! You and your Halloween party tickets and surprise weekend Disney World getaway from your husband! ...ok, I'm jealous.... ;)

Hey, Players, The Hoekzema Family is in Disney World right now and reading this. So, quick! Wave hello and then they will wave back. Ready? Go!

Mickey Eckert, I don't know if Dumbo's spinning chipmunks are being put back. Wouldn't it be great if they were, now that we have the Spinning Chipmunks Appreciation Society? I've ordered t-shirts...

Here was last week's Challenge:

And here's the answer:

Copyright © 2011 Erin Blackwell

WOW! This one was so difficult, only FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE of you got it. Hey, don't worry about it. They can't all be easy. :)

As Chris Kelly put it, this is the “the sunroom thingy”, also known as – you tell them Hayley Valk, “the atrium/greenhousey-looking thing”. The full answer, Bruce Hinterleinter? That's right: Haunted Mansion solarium at Liberty Square, Magic Kingdom, Disney World, Florida, USA, Planet Earth, Milky Way Galaxy Drive. Seriously, how are the new people like Julia Grubbs going to keep up when we talk in technical jargon like that? LOL!

Gee, thanks for the evil laugh, Michelle Boykin! “We have 999 happy haunts... but there's room for a thousand- mwahahaha!” Now I got the heebie jeebies. Kyle, Amanda, and Sabrina Kenney, could you hold my hands as I get over being scared? Because I usually have my Pal Mickey with me in the Haunted Mansion, but he's in the other room so I'm by myself. Erin Connell, you got over your fear of the ghosts; you come too, okay? Here we go... oh no, there's one!

Challenge #229: Where in the world is this?
OK, staying in the parks, Players! Where do you think this is?

Do you know? Do you have a guess? Please send in your answer, before the end of the day on Thursday, May 17th, by clicking on the blue box below. Please do not post answers using the Feedback Form link at the bottom of this post. Remember to be specific with your answer - just naming a park will not get you into the drawing.
See you next week, Players!

Everyone who sends in a correct answer to a Where in the World Challenge this month will be entered in a drawing at the end of the month for some special AllEars® goodies!

My friends over on the Disney Photography Blog have come out with a new ebook series based on the many requests they have gotten about where and how to take the photos they post. The series called 10 Must Take Photos will cover each park in Walt Disney World and Disneyland. They have released two so far: Disneyland and Magic Kingdom. Today, I will review the 10 Must Take Photos for the Magic Kingdom.

La Fontaine de Cindrellon (Cinderella Fountain) one of the 10 Must Take Photos in the Magic Kingdom.

As the authors state, this is their list. Each one of us could come up with our own list which would differ. What the ebook does well is for each Must Take Photo, it tells you the where, how and why. Those answers are often not included with park photos you see online. In fact, that is my biggest complaint with most photo sharing websites.

Cinderella Castle Must Take Photo Page.

Each photo gets a large introductory page so you can delve into it, study it and see it. See it? Yes, many times we do not take the time to really "see" a photo. With large photos it is much easier. The next page has a smaller version of the same photo for reference. The page tells how to get to the location where the photo was taken. Explains why the photo is considered a Must Take and gives specifics on how the photo was taken. Additional Photo Tips may be included giving ideas for alternative photos for the subject.

I have all but two of these Must Take Photos. I am planning on using this ebook soon (see below) to complete the set. I will report back in a few weeks on how I did.

The price of the ebooks are only $4 (US) each and can be ordered by following this link. What are your Must Take Photos?

Vacation Notice
I will be on vacation the next couple of weeks to, you guessed it, Walt Disney World. Remember the Photowalk announcement? Still spots available! If can not make it, you can follow my Disney Twitter feed @Scottwdw or on Google+ at Scott Thomas.

Sergio, the International interactive juggler, entertains guests in the World Showcase pavilion of Italy five days a week. Check the Epcot entertainment guide when you enter the park for specific times. As you can see by his title and the photo, Sergio gets guests involved in his act and is my Disney Pic of the Week on World Showcase Entertainers.
