Something about this composition with the bamboo in the background made me think about doing something different with the processing. I went with a bit more of a vintage look, it seemed like the scene fit with the idea.

Grand Dynamic Range

The more I look at the shots I got of various resorts, the more excited I get to go back down. I'm sure we all get new ideas as we edit photos from past trips. After reading Ryan Pastorino's post on Disney Photography Blog about leveling ultra wide shots, I definitely want to pay a little more attention to my leveling next trip, especially with my ultra wide. This was taken from one end of the Grand Floridian resort lobby and is a 3 bracket HDR.

Gifts With Real Character

As most of you already know, I'm a sucker for a good Disney sign. The added bonus here was a late afternoon sunflare.

This is taken right after the Disney Photography Blogs Flower and Garden meetup. We had to split off a little early to meetup with my family for our ADR at Le Cellier. I definitely can say between the day and the meal, that was easily one of our best days. I had a lot of great shots from that day.

And...Action!

One of these days Disney is finally going to start looking at our photos and reading our comments and finally take down that stupid speaker behind this statue. It's really hard to shoot around and I don't like it in my shot. lol. That's me being my own worst critic again. :) I can't wait to get back down to WDW to try some different comp ideas I had with this statue.

Mosaic Signing

I love the entrance and sign for the Land pavilion in Epcot Center. It's one thing that I'm really glad hasn't really changed since it was put in. It also holds on of my favorite Future World attractions, Living With The Land.

Temperate Fusion

This is another shot that I've taken and posted once before. I wanted to shoot it again for two reasons, one because they put out red and white potted flowers around the Temperate House to add a nice splash of color in there. And two, I wanted to process this one differently than the one before that was pretty early on in my shooting with a DSLR. This is a three shot HDR blended with exposure fusion in Photomatix.
