Echo Lake Sunset in Disney’s Hollywood Studios

September 26, 2014 by Scott Thomas

As I was scouting locations for the Star Wars Weekend Fireworks, I checked out the view from across Echo Lake. It was late in the day and the Sun was just going down behind the palm trees to the right of Min & Bill’s Dockside Diner. This created a large light discrepancy between the bright … Continue reading "Echo Lake Sunset in Disney’s Hollywood Studios"

This Way to Fantasmic

September 25, 2014 by Lisa Berton

Disney’s Hollywood Studios (aka MGM Studios) has a large (get it?) assortment of billboards staggered throughout the park. I don’t think that it’s necessarily very Hollywood since signage on Sunset Blvd and Hollywood Blvd (in Hollywood) consists of moving imagery, flashing lights, and entire sides of buildings. Honestly, they’re extremely distracting for drivers. So, as … Continue reading "This Way to Fantasmic"

Disney Pic of the Week: Billboards of Hollywood Studios

September 23, 2014 by Scott Thomas

Walking around Disney’s Hollywood Studios always gives me the feeling of being in a place that never was. You know what I mean? Hollywood back in the 1930’s and 1940’s was like a fantasy to most of America. A place not quite real. The billboards you see around the Studios help to tell the story … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Billboards of Hollywood Studios"

Birds of Flights of Wonder at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

September 19, 2014 by Scott Thomas

The Flights of Wonder show in Disney’s Animal Kingdom features many species of birds found throughout the world. Many are shown flying around the stage and audience. The best way to photograph this show is with a fast shutter speed. I set my camera to Shutter Priority mode with the shutter at 1/1000th of a … Continue reading "Birds of Flights of Wonder at Disney’s Animal Kingdom"

Circling Spaceship Earth

September 17, 2014 by Lisa Berton

In keeping with our Disney Pic of the Week theme, Spaceship Earth, I’m continuing the subject with tips on photographing the sphere from a moving monorail. First, board the monorail heading to Epcot at the Ticket and Transportation Center. If you board the monorail to Magic Kingdom, well…that’s the wrong line, Charlie. Second, sit facing … Continue reading "Circling Spaceship Earth"
