How wet have you gotten on the Kali River?

 

One night I was walking around Animal Kingdom after hours and getting used to my new home, and I stumbled upon this area. Everything seemed so amazing. I had been in the park many times before for work and for fun, but none of my friends wanted to go to Kali to get wet. So as I entered this area, I was dumbfounded by its beauty. I immediately took out my camera and tripod and, like I had mentioned in a post before, got stuck here for more than an hour longer than I had planned...

How early do you like to go to the parks?

 

When I go to the parks to take photos, it's usually very early in the morning or late at night. When I go to the parks on my days off, I go when I feel like it. Then there are the times when I was on vacation. I would wake up super early and try to get as much done in one day as possible. I would never claim to say it was the most...

Do you know the story behind this bus/food cart?

 

I have seen people take photos of this amazing bus/food cart before, but never been able to capture the full beauty of the colors displayed. The blue stands out so much against the green backdrop. I can't say I've ever bought anything from this stand, but it is amazing. People walk by this every day and appreciate this wonderful piece of work, but do they no the story behind it and why it is there in Asia? I...

What can I say! I just love HDR's. If you look hard you will see "Sundancers" in the background.

Lovely day, storm just passed. All natural light. The owner loves HDR so I did this one specifically for him.

While walking around Animal Kingdom the other night I came across this amazing spot to see the Tree Of Life, the icon of the park. It's quite majestic in it position and how it towers over everything. The river here reflected the tree so well I couldn't help but whip out my tripod and hold here for a while to get a shot of it. It's almost as though the water were a mirror or even that there was no water at all but rather another tree growing below the one we see. Animal kingdom has so many of these...

Does bad weather deter you from going to the parks?

 

The other day it rained, and rained, and rained, and I couldn't believe people still wanted to ride rides in Animal Kingdom. Luckily, I knew what rain meant for me. I got off work and raced home to get my camera gear and went right over to Hollywood Studios. I get there in hopes to take a picture of the Sorcerer Hat before they take it down and hopefully without the stage. To my...

I have been fortunate enough to travel in most of the Western United States, and every where I have gone I have found beauty. This was my first trip to Yosemite National Park, and I must say I was very taken back by the landscape. I would love to go again, only this time I want to stay longer.. ;-)

What do you love about the Walt Disney World version of the Haunted Mansion?

 

Welcome Foolish Mortals!I've said this one before, but out of all of the comparison attractions between Disneyland and Walt Disney World,the Haunted Mansion wins with everything except one simple thing. The building itself, I like the simplistic Disneyland version. This one here in Florida is over top better. It never goes to the Holiday overlay and there are even more...

Why do think the parks at night seem to be more magical?

 

Out of all the parks, Animal Kingdom and EPCOT are the most friendly for me as a photographer. They are very chill about me staying around after to take a few shots. Magic Kingdom has strict rules about staying after and now that I abide by them I'm fine. But for some reason Hollywood Studios seems to give me problems. Regardless, I love the park. I...

What extended queue makes you want to stay in line longer?

 

Some of my favorite things to do is venture into the extended queue areas for the attractions. Many times, there are things that people get to enjoy if they are in line for over an hour on the more busy of days. It's sad that some of these places just collect dust (figuratively speaking of course) during slow times. This one happens to come from...

What are your thoughts on Disney's Animal Kingdom?

 

When I first heard I was going to Animal Kingdom to work, I looked up the park hours to see if there was a chance to get overtime hours and work more. It turns out that this park closes frequently at 5 pm and most likely before any of the other parks. I was upset, but then realized, this gives me a chance to go take photos every day after work at any other park very easily. I love it. I can go...

My brother asked me to take some pictures of him and his girlfriend.

Lighthouse at Poddersdorf, Burgenland (Austria). And I love HDR. This shot would have been impossible with the sun shining almost directly into the lens.

What would you like to see Glow!?

 

I have always loves EPCOT. There is something about the park that draws me in and makes me never want to leave. Maybe it's the many things in World Showcase or the innovation. But I know the moment I stepped foot there I was home. From day one of Digital Elegance, EPCOT has had some amazing shots come out. My first photo was...

Which park has the best play area for kids?

 

Many of the parks have a little area for little kids to blow off steam in a controlled area while the parents sit and relax for a bit. For Hollywood Studios, that place is the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure. Here you can bounce around on larger than life toys and explore the the backyard like never before. This shot is...

Where in Disney World do you go to watch the sun rise?

 

I tried to get out last night to retake the photo of the tree that I had from the other day, but I ran out of time. So I decided to go this morning instead. I love the opportunity to just get up and go. I couldn't for the life of me get a great angle on it and I was about to give up when the sun started rise and the clouds in the background started to turn from their shades of dark blue to red on their way to...

Looking at some of my old pictures, I fell in love with HDR all over again.

This is actually contains a 5 exposure HDR plus more. To further smooth the image and restore realistic definition and color, I applyed a tone curve corrected version of one of the original exposures as a semi-transparent layer over the tonemapped HDR image. Anyway, there is no way the skyline and the guitar mural could both have been properly exposed in the same image without HDR, which is why I love HDR.

 

The original HDR gave Nashville a dark Gotham City look, which is appropriate with the bat tower and all you know. That feel is less apparent in this image, although I may make more adjustments to the HDR.

 

Rollover the image above for building info.

Have you been in the Memento Mori Shop?

 

My new favorite shop in the Magic Kingdom is Memento Mori. I have seen many a paycheck go to getting myself and others things from this great store devoted to Haunted Mansion paraphernalia. I am a huge fan of Glow in the Dark... as if you hadn't noticed. With so many things Mansion glowing or UV sensitive, I have to have...

Which resort has the best Christmas decorations?

 

One day, a couple of months ago, I ventured over to the Fort Wilderness Resort. This shot I found as I was walking into the hotel. I loved the warmth here and also the photo locations are so numerous. This place was a joy to wander around and I cannot wait to get back over there to get a shot of their Christmas decorations...

FOR THE QUEEN OF MY HEART LOVE OF MY LIFE, MRS FIZZY JACOBSON! I LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL!

 

“A soulmate is the one person whose love is powerful enough to motivate you to meet your soul, to do the emotional work of self-discovery, of awakening.” – Kenny Loggins

 

soulmate quote

“Our universe grants every soul a twin—a reflection of themselves—the kindred spirit – And no matter where they are or how far away they are from each other—even if they are in different dimensions, they will always find one another. This is destiny; this is love.” – Julie Dillon

Do you think there should be more frightening things around the parks?

 

So I did one of my favorite things to do for this shot. I stepped back from where I was to find a new and great shot. I love the decorations for Fall and Halloween on the Main Street Station. But this got me thinking. Magic Kingdom is the family friendly Halloween party place, but is there room for another park to come in with their own Halloween fun? What about Hollywood Studios? They already have...

It has been a very busy summer. Since the beginning of May, I have been moved over to Hollywood Studios and worked 50+ weeks with Star Wars Weekends and then the Frozen Summer Fun. It has been a long time and finally my hours are cut back enough for me to get back to editing photos again. I love my Glow in the Dark photos and I... blog.digitalelegance.com/glowing-spaceship-earth-2/

I'm always making comparisons between Disneyland and Walt Disney World. One of them is how each park plays to feature Finding Nemo. With Disneyland, the submarine voyage in Tomorrowland is nice, but I still don't really care for it. I liked the old submarine attraction. Sure some of the effects are really astonishing and and artistry of the coral was amazing to hear about, but Walt Disney World...

What I love most about HDR's are the colours that you extract from tone mapping. Not everyone loves HDR's but when you get a colourless day sometimes the results can be quite stunning.

Which is your favorite Gingerbread creation?

 

One morning I happen to visit the Contemporary Resort for a Cast Member function and on my way out I found this wild gingerbread creation of the beloved Frozen cast in front of the Small World backdrop. I was amazed that I was able to get this shot while so many people were walking by and taking their own photos of it or the random selfie. There are so many of these Gingerbread creations and I...

Gotta love HDR photography! Without it I would have had to have several lights to get this small church lit up. Instead, I utilized multiple exposures to take advantage of the 3 small windows in front and open double doors behind the camera to bring this image out of the darkness. Enjoy :)

10 exposure HDR merged in Photomatix and tweaked in Photoshop.

  

To learn how I process my HDR's I have a tutorial up as well as a PDF in it's description so you can print it out.

Did you guess the Grand's Tree?

 

I'm going to make this super sweet and short. The Grand's Tree is magnificent, although I'm a bit saddened there is no topper. No star, no angel, no weird pointy orb thingy I've seen on some trees. Oh well. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Have you eaten at Restaurantosaurus?

 

I wanted to take it back to the little details of Walt Disney World for today because there are some of my favorite things that aren't huge postcard of calendar type shots that need their day in the spotlight. For instance this little gem. The Restaurantosaurus Trailer is a Airstream Trailer attached to Restaurantosaurus in DinoLand USA and very few people go near it or even sit in it to have their meal. The restaurant is a great place...

Do you feel like you're in Toy Story when you visit Pizza Planet?

 

Of all the places in Walt Disney World, I've been to Pizza Planet quite a few times. More than I should admit. I remember the first time I stepped foot in here, I knew that at one point I would be posting a picture of it so I walked around while my friends ordered their food. While I was in the bathroom I heard a little boy say to his father, "Daddy? I want to go to Chuck E. Cheeses!" To which the father replied...

Just one reason why I love HDR photography. A normal shot would either have too much shadow, or blown out highlights.

 

Pretend like you can't see the blurring in the middle of the shot - handheld on a cruise ship does not help when compiling shots. ;-)

Which Pavilion is your favorite?

 

I have watched many movies that take place in Paris, France. And one show I remember watching in my youth was Highlander. A few seasons actually took place in Paris and I'm not sure exactly why, but Seattle wasn't being very nice to having people shoot a TV show with sword fighting in their slums. I loved the show, and one of my favorite things was where Duncan McLeod of the Clan McLeod would have his...
