Magic, Memories, and You!

Magic, Memories, and You!

As many others have posted before me, I add one of my shots of the Magic, Memories, and You castle projection show to the pool. Like many of you have heard from me I was really impressed by this show. The seemlessness of the projections were brilliant as well as the flow of the show. Like this scene, I really liked how the vines grew up from the bottom of the castle, the movement of the projections was also a great part of this great show! If there's anyone that hasn't seen it, please make a point to do so, it's classic Disney magic hard at work. I was very surprised at how well my D90 did cranked up to an ISO of 6400. Fast enough to capture the show with surprisingly low amounts of noise. I was quite happy with how well this show photographed and look forward to hearing what you all think of it. Enjoy!

The suns angle during golden hour is ideal for Tomorrowland shots. I couldn't resist getting those lovely red rocks in with the avenue of the planets. The clouds are working some nice shadows too which I liked. What do you all think? :) Enjoy!

After seeing shots from this location at Flame Tree BBQ I realized two things. One, that I'd never eating at Flame Tree, which we did later in our trip. And Two, this is view is spectacular! The blooming trees in the sea of green was a nice touch to the scene too I think. :) Enjoy!

It Just A Bench...

That's what I was hearing as I shot this bench. And yes, I know that is just a bench but it means so much more than that. This is proof of Disney's attention to detail. This bench looks like it's been sitting there for fifty years. It's the little things at Disney that make the biggest difference. If these little things weren't there, these little details, then the magic wouldn't be quite as, for lack of a better term, magical. :) Trying some more of the wide open shooting. Let me know what you think! Enjoy!

Eclectic Sounds - Showtime Saturday

Thought I would throw my hat into the ring for a little bit of the Showtime Saturday scene. This performer is located in the Animal Kingdom in the Asian area of the park. I believe it's between Flights of Wonder and the Yak and Yeti Restaurant. I'm not sure what she was playing but they were made out of bamboo and sounded quite nice. In this shot, she was playing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and it was beautiful eclectic. We were fortunate to catch her performing again when we back in Animal Kingdom later in the week and her performances are quite enjoyable. If anyone knows a bit more about this wonderful performer please let me know becuase I scoured the web last night and couldn't seem to find anything about her. Enjoy!
