Which country do you feel pays tribute to their respective country the best?
I am going to admit something to you all. I have never been into the Canada pavilion. This is a picture of how close I've been. Seriously! I have no idea what's behind any of those doors. I am really intrigued to find out what is going on beyond that rope I was standing behind. I have no real expectations. Not good nor bad. Isn't that how we should be about...

What do you do to keep yourself from turning into a Dinosaur?
So I decided today I would post a photo from my ride. Yup, I work here at Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom normally when I'm not running around the parks and resorts taking pictures or at home editing them. I really like it here. I feel like I've joined a new family and everyone is usually very friendly. Like every place there are few people that have lost the magic as to why they work there. I find it very sad. I call them my dinosaurs. It's not that they are old, it's that they...

Which Pavilion portrays its Asian counterpart better, China or Japan?
So for months I went to EPCOT and enjoyed the many things there. I love World Showcase. I'm all about travel and different cultures. Funny thing was, I had almost always been with others and there was one Pavilion that I seemed to walk by and look at but never go into see the inner shops. China has stolen my heart. This pavilion is...

What draws your into Disney's Hollywood Studios?
Even with a Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in California, I still have to ride it here in Florida. The differences are fun to notice and the ride it still great in both places. I still think the drop are better in Disney's California Adventure, but the queue and the 5th dimension here in Florida are great! Although I feel...

Have you met Dino Sue?
It happened again today. Infrequently, but it does happen, Dinosaur the ride had a delayed opening due to a technical issue. One thing I got to do while telling people that it was down was take photos of families with our beloved Dino Sue. She is quite magnificent and worth getting a shot in front of. Most people see her and blow right past without understanding the whole story and how cool it is we have it here in Animal Kingdom. Here's some further reading if you like...

What is your Sword in the Stone?
Out of all the Disney movies, only a few tell the tale of a boy becoming a king. Most of the fairy tales are about girls becoming queens. Outside of the Lion King (which is about animals and a bit hard to relate to), the story of a young boy, Wart, becoming king solely by pulling a sword out of a stone. Many a boy has been in search of a stone like...

If you could teleport anywhere in the world, where would it be?
After spending 2 years in Europe, you come to gain a deep fondness for things in other countries. Today is actually Swiss National Day. The "Independence Day" for Switzerland. Even though this picture is of Germany (where I spent many months), there are a few things in the shops here for Switzerland (where I spent the most of my 2 years). I love this area and often come here to...

I love HDR it brings out all the subtility in the image.
This is a very japanese photo as the cat is named Kabuki and the bonsai is named hoohtsêstse which is Cheyenne for small tree with rocks.
I cant believe the popularity of HDR shots I've posted recently that have shot up my most favs list and I hope to make other lists also.
Happy 5 Years DCP Fall '09!
Five years ago today, I started something that I thought would just look great on a resume and possibly launch me into a career in creating websites for movies and help companies promote them. I had no idea I would fall in love with a company and a service model that I literally could not live without. I had no idea that I could create such life-long friendships with people from all over the country who I love dearly and still contact fairly regularly (thank you Facebook).

What Resort Is Your Favorite?
The first resort I went to after I moved here was the majestic Grand Floridian. I had to see how it compared to my favorite Grand Californian which I frequented while living there in Anaheim and even after. This resort is a stark contrast to that of the Californian. The Floridian is overly posh. I love the white and pristine feel to it. This one feels like a place that those elite of the 1930's would come for a vacation after making their millions. Much like how the Californian places you in an over-sized cabin with cozy fireplace, the Floridian sets you up for a day at the beach or relaxing to the sounds of the piano player play classical pieces for a full immersive experience.
I wish to spend more time in each of the many resorts here on Disney Property. They all have their own personality. The question is, which one next? So far I have been impressed by the theming and the atmosphere. I'll be sure to post what I get from each one. It get's hard to pick a picture of the day from so many pictures taken. For the record I have enough for a couple of months now, but I don't like to place things too close together. As is, you fans of the Hollywood Studios are probably very mad at me right now that I haven't got anything for you yet. YET! Coming soon.

What's your favorite scene in Pirates of the Caribbean?
I have some sentimental reasons for loving the Pirate of the Caribbean attraction. It's one of the things on the list of things to do every single I came to the parks. When I got my camera years ago and went to Disneyland, this was the first one I wanted to really photograph but I quickly learned that it is quite difficult to do so and abide by the rules that Disney dictates of not using...

It's a great 2hr walking and soaking in the sun.-
Which icon is your favorite?
When I get to each park, there is a central icon that draws the attention. For Magic Kingdom, it's the Castle. For Hollywood Studios, it's the Hat. For Animal Kingdom, it's the Tree. But for EPCOT, it's the "Golf Ball"! I'm not sure which is my favorite, but I can say easily it's not the Hat in Hollywood Studios. Maybe because they keep putting some sort of stage in front of it to see it properly. The EPCOT Globe which holds Spaceship Earth is...

Which attractions will you wait over 50 minutes for?
The attraction that has the longest line ever in all of Disney's Hollywood Studios is Toy Story Midway Mania. The ride here in Florida is exactly the same as Califronia's, but the queue here is over the top as a great way to spend your time. Standing in this line really shrinks you down to size and get's you ready to play with the toys of the beloved Pixar movie series, Toy Story 1, 2, and 3. These movies I love so much and playing a game with...

Have you eaten at the Yak & Yeti?
I feel that too many people come to the parks with the hopes to make it on all of the rides and catch a few shows here and there while they let their feet rest from the hours of walking and standing. It can be a sad thought when you miss out on some of the best stories and artistry. When we rush from ride to show, and even from those to the place we decided to eat, we miss out on...

Have you tried this place?
This place is on the top of my bucket list for restaurants in Hollywood Studios and maybe in all of the parks. A friend of mine wanted to get a small group, sit in the corner and play a game called Fiasco. It would have been a great time, but she decided that her Disney career was done early. I miss her. The Brown Derby has a feel of a classy joint that would have fit well in the new revamp of California Adventure, but I have to admit Carthay Circle is one amazing place to eat...

Hidden Lake, Glacier National Park. You can reach this viewpoint via a pretty easy (1.5-mile round-trip) hike from Logan Pass. I did take a bunch of much longer hikes, but this was one of my favorites thanks to lots of wildlife, and, well, this view.
This is a three-image HDR - I did it mainly to accent the sun lighting up the mountain and part of the lake...and because I love HDR skies. :)

Can you tell me why this is an impossible shot?
I was out with some friends taking pictures and exploring EPCOT when they decided to get out of the pending rain to visit Spaceship Earth. While we were standing at the entrance and talking to the cast members, I turned around and saw this. These mirrors had a great view of the wait time sign as well an extended view of the pattern that engulfs the ride itself...

Oh, I love HDR!!! :)

What do you recommend to eat here?
I used my own advice the other day while walking around Animal Kingdom. Go in a restaurant before they open and get some great shots of it empty. Sure enough at around 10:00 am the park was getting packed with people, but the Yak-n-Yeti was completely empty. They didn't open for another hour. This place has such an amazing interior. I'm not sure where I would want to sit while eating here, but I can tell you it's most likely upstairs...

Is this show better than Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular?
The last time I came to Studios, I decided to go and see this show. I couldn't wait. It had just started to sprinkle as I got in line and thought nothing of it. Then off in the background I could see some amazing flashes and about 30 seconds later and loud boom cracked over head. The rain got more intense, the booms got closer, and the flashes more brilliant. We still moved in...

What is your favorite Disney World Queue?
Still to this day there is one thing that Walt Disney World has that Disneyland does not... Room to Queue! And with that room, imagineers have designed some of the most elaborate and lovely queues. Some interactive, some educational, but all great to look at. The next thing I'm assuming they'll start doing is adding more things to make you hungry as you wait in line. I know hunger took...

Do you get elaborate masks for Mardi Gras?
In Italy, one of my favorite stops is the Mask Shop. The ornate artistry from this third party vendor fit in perfectly with the spirit of Disney. I had a chance to speak with the Italians tending to this store and found them to be some of the most happy and friendly people I've met in my life. I love the Italians and it reminded me of my time in...

I took the family to the mall and as my wife & I were loading kiddos in the mini I spotted "the car", one day my own personal middle life crisis. I could not resist but to take 3 images. Can I say I love HDR, second to "the car".
Renault Sport Megane R26 F1 Sits In The Garage Before An Exciting Autumn Track Day
This Megane was sat in one od the pit lane garage at a Renault Sport track day at Oulton Park in the UK i just loved how the floor was wet and needed to capture the moment.
i have applied some subtle HDR processing to this image and other techniques.
Do you "Fall" in love with the Magic Kingdom Decorations?
Once again I was kicked out of the Magic Kingdom. Security was tight after the park had been extended an hour. I didn't want the extension. It meant that I would be leaving the park later than expected and that most people wouldn't be as nice as they usually are at the end of the night for photographers with tripods. Although, the plus side meant that no one else would be lingering in my shots...

Have you watched One Man's Dream?
Whenever I am feeling low about my career in Disney or don't think I should keep up with my passion for photography and doing what I do, I make my way to Disney's Hollywood Studios and go straight to One Man's Dream. I take my time to visit the historic displays and challenge my Disney Trivia, but my main focus is to watch the show at the end of the gallery. The show gets me pumped up. It makes me realize that...

What was your best cast member experience?
With it being Walt Disney World's birthday I thought I'd pay tribute to the true reason the parks are such a success. The Cast Members. Not just because I am one, but even when I was a guest for my very first time, it wasn't the rides that captured my heart, it was the whole experience. It was the cast that brought Walt's vision to life and made it what it is today. Cybil here was just one of the many cast members I've met since moving here. Her bright smile and...

Bugs Acrobatic Love! HDR - macro with Nikon Coolpix S620 - edited/cropped with PS CS4 and Photomatix 3 tone mapping
As you see, I love HDR. To you who don't know HDR but would like to learn more about it, i really MUST recommend to have a look on the pages of my "HDR Guru", "StuckInCustoms" here in Flickr. On his webpage he provides a free HDR turorial: stuckincustoms.com
As I say... "Maybe... if I practise hard, one day I will be half as good as he is!"
This is Brobyvaerk... A small town on the Island of Funen, Denmark; not far from Odense, where H.C.Andersen was born.

Which Park has the best Christmas Tree?
I went to EPCOT extra early to to take a few photos of the park before it opened while I waited to practice with the Candlelight Choir and help the cast members learn how to group and move the guest choirs. It was a fun event, but I certainly had more fun that morning taking photos. I cam across the Christmas tree and noticed they were sweeping away the water from pressure washing the ground that...
