One of my favorite dabblers, the Dapper Dan of ducks.

 

Dapper Dan looks even more dapper in color, don't you think?

A handsome Muscovy Duck? Sure!!

Emmie and Dapper Dan are warming up while they wait for the rest of the quartet on this Barber shop quartet day!!

"This dapper little mouse that wore such cute clothes and said such interesting things, yeah. I thought it was a great idea to have a mouse like that in your family, so now I get to see what it was like."

Not my way of dressing, but this guy has some serious, serious threads. Definitely a well dressed man, with style, and flair...

I get by with a little help from my friends, even if all they do is take my car keys. Rodeo wraps up early enough on Saturday, where you might actually make it to church Sunday morning--("one day o' prayin' and six nights of fun...odds against going to heaven, 6:1")

The Dapper Dans are a barbershop quartet that perform on Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom. I never got to see them perform, but I got this shot just after they finished a set.

The Mayor and Smokey the Fire Chief head down MSUSA around mid-morning of #Disney24, 2014. This year was pretty fantastic around 9am on Main Street with so many vehicles and citizens out and about - it felt more alive than I've seen it in years. Here, the Mayor is waving to friends of mine just out of the shot as he rides back down towards Town Square.

Gotta love these photogenic fellas.

The Daper Dans on Main Street USA at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. The Dans have performed here since 1971 and yes you can even have your hair cut at the Barber Shop. The Dans perform daily and can usually be found on or by the horse-drawn trolley in the morning and all over Main Street USA during the afternoon. At 5pm, the Dans join the Main Street Philharmonic and the Magic Kingdom Security Color Guard for the Flag Retreat Ceremony.

 

PleaseView On Black. Thanks!

A chance encounter with the Cadaver Dans and Adam's 75mm mounted to my camera made for some shooting outside my comfort zone. I never shoot at that focal range (150mm equivalent) and I rarely ever shoot street performers in the parks. That needs to change though, because characters like the Cadaver Dans (the Dapper Dans by daylight) are as much a part of the park's sights & sounds as the attractions and architecture.

 

Processing the shot (in Lightroom 5)

This shot was poorly framed with half a cadaver on the left side of the frame (part of his sleeve is still visible in this shot). I Wanted to focus on the two Dans pictures above since they were more in focus which left me with a square crop.

 

I brought the exposure down a pinch to darken the shot and pushed the clarity slider up slightly to give it a bit of an edge.

 

Then, to add more punch I pushed up the purple, blue, red and yellow saturations individually.

 

The shot isn't a sharp as I would have liked, so pushed the sharpening slider just slightly to tighten things up.

 

I had one of the Dan's thumbs in the shot, so I used to spot removal tool to take it out (no Dan's were harmed in the removing of the thumb).

 

Even with a post crop vingette the background upper-middle of the shot was a bit too bright and distracting so I went in the adjustment brush and selectively dropped down the highlights and the exposure.

 

Then, off to Flickr it went via Jeffrey Friedl's "Export to Flickr" plugin.

 

Thanks for looking, and a very merry Boo to You!

 

Have a great day,

 

-Alan

These Dapper Gents have been singing on Main Street USA since 1959, and are always a joy to watch. With perfect harmonies, these fellas sing their hearts out all over Main Street, but they also feature right in front of the Fire Department, and Walt's apartment, his lamp burning bright in the window, watching the joy below. Thanks for everything Walt. CONSTRUCTIVE Criticism is always welcome!

I got "caught" at the Main Street Station when the Disneyland Band showed up with Mickey and the Dapper Dans to play a set, so I got some neat photos from this heightened perspective.

Decided to process some shots while watching an extremely frustrating Bruins game last night (the officials should have been wearing Montreal jerseys :) I have not had time to post on flickr at all the past few weeks due to my work schedule but I have been viewing everyones uploads when I can. I am hoping to get back into regular posting (and commenting!) in the next few weeks.

 

Be sure to checkout today's post on WDW Photography. I reviewed a new iPad app Photosmith that is almost a mobile version of Lightroom (minus the processing). It allows you to completely organize your photos while away and then sync to your computer when you get back. We are giving away two copies today on the blog and also one copy to a follower on Twitter.

First new Disneyland shot in a while! Feels good, man. This particular shot was taken together with c-lemon. She is to thank for convincing me to try photographing people for a change! And who better to start with than Disneyland's barbershop quartet The Dapper Dans?

Even the music along Main Street, U.S.A. is right out of the Gay Nineties. One of the most popular groups is "The Dapper Dans" Barber Shop Quartet.
