What do you think of the show in Canada?

 

Every time I go to EPCOT and World Showcase, I seem to find something new. I seriously have not spent enough time in this park. I've been here for months now and I still have not been over every inch of this place. Hollywood Studios I feel the same way though. Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom, I feel I know the best, but still I am learning more and more each time. And now with...

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...

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.

Do you ever visit the other resorts when you visit?

 

This one night I was walking with some friends around Yacht and Beach after getting some ice cream and had some time before I had to get home. So I decided to look for new areas to photograph. I stepped into the Conference building between the two resorts and was taken aback by the colors and how that normal guests that come to the parks never see this. I doubt many of the guests of the resorts even see this. Those that have had some sort of conference here have been fortunate enough, but that limits the numbers that have stepped foot here. I love this place. I have a series of photos that I had to get and will be posting them all in time.

Which Resort has the best Christmas Tree?

 

When I went to visit the Contemporary for a Disney fan event. Well mainly the store part of it and maybe hopefully see Tony Baxter again. I had about an hour to kill before I thought I should go over and line up to get into the store (which I started the line and met some great people), so I thought I might take a couple photos of the Contemporary Resort. I walked around and found the...

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...

Is the grey stuff THAT delicious?

 

I love this place above most places for being extremely accurate to the dimensions of the movie. I love the feeling of walking into a place and have the sense that I left the real world to step foot into the movie itself. I had the same feeling the first time I walked into Carsland in California Adventure. There are very few places that do that...

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...

What part of Maelstrom are you going to miss?

 

On the last night of Maelstrom, a buddy and I decided to pay our respects and ride it one last time. It didn't occur to us at the time that we would be the last ones ever to watch the movie at the end as guests. I was the last guest photographer to photograph this area before they change the ride forever. I'm not sure what I thought of...

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

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...

Now that you've seen all 4 parks, which tree do you like best?

 

Animal Kingdom got all festive again this year with a great tree. So many things to look at and I had so much fun trying to get the right shot. I had another in the wings, but this one beat out by just a bit. Maybe I'll post it next year. I hope you enjoyed these photos of the Christmas Trees from the parks. I will be posting yet one more tomorrow from a resort. Make your guesses today...

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...

Which Country would you like to see in World Showcase?

 

EPCOT's World Showcase has always fascinated me. I love different cultures and getting to know them. I have adopted many traditions from them and try to better myself. This was the vision of the World Showcase and hopefully bridging better relationships between nations. There is so much room to put in new countries and there are rumors that they are in the process now. The one I would love to see here...

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.

What is your favorite part of Storybook Circus?

 

I came into this area not knowing what to expect. I could see Dumbo from where I stood, but other than that I knew there was a store. Walking around I found this area to be quaint and lovely. This entrance is simple, yet majestic in my opinion. I really enjoyed the rides over here and above everything, I am envious of the costumes. I am now...

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...

One evening on a fishing trip to Canada the water was so still. There was no breeze at all and I knew then that this would make an amazing HDR photo. That is one reason I love HDR's, they might be controversial, but they capture how my mind remembers that day looking. I'll never forget how beautiful that day was thanks to this HDR.

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...

The other day, I got the chance to sit in front of Mr. Joe Rohde and listen to him go on about how amazing the expansion will be for the Harambe Market and how Africa will blow our minds. He showed photos of the real places in Africa and how they match up with Disney counterparts. I was fascinated by how they...
