POTD - Kidani Glasswork

After our lunch at Sanaa at Kidani Village in Animal Kingdom Lodge, I couldn't help but spend some time in the small but very beautiful lobby. I can tell why people like staying in this Disney Vacation Club resort, it seemed very quite, with some obvious stunning views. Not to mention this stunning lobby with these colorful glass pieces spilling out of pillars and the chandeliers. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Castle in the Distance

I snapped this one of the beasts castle when we were in the Magic Kingdom seeing it for the first time. I wanted to get a shot to isolate the castle and show its detail and beauty. This is about as far as we got, as since it was very new at the time, standby to eat lunch at Be Our Guest restaurant was over two hours. We said no, not worth it the wait for lunch, and we'll be back anyway. :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Monorail Monday - Silver and Gold Overhead

After we headed over to the Magic Kingdom on the Ferry Boat, we were passing under the monorail beam at the right time. Monorail Silver glided overhead and I was able to catch it with some of that great golden hour light. The more I go through my shots from this trip, the more I want to go back and shoot more! I'm sure that's a lot of us though. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Fireworks Friday - Hallowishes Firsts

I will say, after seeing this fireworks show for the first on our last trip, it has to be the best Disney fireworks that I've been able to see. I am by no means terribly talented at shooting fireworks, but I did have a handful from this show that came out OK. I think I really just need to get back down more often to shoot, having only one real chance, july 4th, at home to practice fireworks. The only logical option to improve would be to get to Disney parks more often. LoL. I don't see any flaws in this plan whatsoever. :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Leading Color Down Main Street U.S.A.

This was our spot for the Halloween parade at the Magic Kingdom. Right at the middle of Town Square, right on the curb, facing down Main Street U.S.A. I couldn't have planned it better myself. I took this before anything had started, after the spots were staked out and we were all just waiting. The color that bathed Main Street during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party were absolutely awesome. I was really pleased with how cleanly this turned out. I thought it might be more annoying to process with all the varying colors. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestion is welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Monorail Monday - Between a Rail and a Monorail

This is an idea I tried one morning when we were in Epcot going to the Food and Wine Festival. Before World Showcase opened, we did some attractions and some shooting. Getting in between the wall and above rail, I was able to squeeze my lens in to make this composition. It was the only was I could see from my angle, to get the whole imagination pyramids in the frame. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
