In this age when photo software can duplicate almost any effect film photographers used filters for, I still find one filter very useful. The Polarizing filter does just what polarizer sunglasses do, they cut down on the glare from the sun. Most people use a circular polarizing filter which means the filter moves once it … Continue reading "Case for Using a Polarizer Filter"
Wide World of Disney
Posted onA wide angle lens for a digital SLR camera is usually considered a lens of focal length 24mm lens or less (for full frame SLR it’s about 1.5 times more or 35mm). Wide angle lenses can take in a wider field of view then normal, telephoto or telephoto zoom lenses. On my last trip to … Continue reading "Wide World of Disney"
Scott’s Disney Photography Top 10
Posted onWhen Lisa first proposed doing an end of year Top 10 list on what each of us liked to photograph at a Disney resort, I was worried I could not come up with one. Turns out I could have done a few Top 10 lists but I’ll start with this one. To be honest, except … Continue reading "Scott’s Disney Photography Top 10"
Metadata Revisited
Posted onWhen I was talking about adding metadata and how to use it. I seemed to have confused some people about how much work it takes to add captions and keywords. While it does take time to add them, it’s not as time consuming as it sounds. Photo management software like Apple’s Aperture 2, Adobe’s Lightroom … Continue reading "Metadata Revisited"
The Digital Darkroom
Posted onBefore I go on talking about organizing our digital library of photographs, I want to introduce you to the new breed of software that were released a couple of years ago I refer to as digital darkroom programs. These programs assist you in organizing, editing and outputting (either files or prints) your digital photos in … Continue reading "The Digital Darkroom"
My Bonus Trip to WDW – Part 5
Posted onYou can blame commando Lee for the fact that there was no blog entry yesterday. Since it was his only day to play in the parks he made the most of it – we got a short afternoon break back in the room, but that was it. We started our day with a three mile … Continue reading "My Bonus Trip to WDW – Part 5"
My Bonus Trip to Walt Disney World – Part 1
Posted onI’m blogging live from WDW – and a couple of months ago I certainly didn’t expect to be here right now! Lee is attending a conference for work at Coronado Springs, and back in January asked me if I wanted to come with him. But I had work commitments – at that point in time … Continue reading "My Bonus Trip to Walt Disney World – Part 1"
Walt Disney World as a Teen!!! Part 6
Posted onEpcot is in my opinion the hottest (weather wise) park! Ugh I hate walking around there on hot days! I recommend going to the Character Connection first, it’s air conditioned and the line is very short if you go first thing. Last year when I went the Character Connection was kind of hidden so we … Continue reading "Walt Disney World as a Teen!!! Part 6"
Mouse Trap
Posted onSome Disney Imagineer’s quirky sense of humor can be seen in the recently rehabbed Spaceship Earth. As you approach the modern era, take a look behind the couch of the family seated watching TV in the 1960’s living room. Look closely and you’ll see the board game “Mouse Trap” which was introduced to the public … Continue reading "Mouse Trap"
An Early March Visit to Spaceship Earth
Posted onThe weather in central Florida has been a bit cool lately. I’ve worn my windbreaker several times this winter already, but this day in Epcot did not quite require a jacket. It was a short sleeves day. Early March is typically a great time to visit Walt Disney World, since the bulk of the Spring … Continue reading "An Early March Visit to Spaceship Earth"
