You all will never hear me saying anything but good things about the detail found at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Most of you already know that I'm sure. This is something that I had always just walked by on all of our past trips. Since it was just Jenea and I on this trip, I seemed to see a little more detail rather than running by it because we are with a big group of family members. :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Morning Dew Bathing
I will have to say, after having shot with one at MOBOT a couple of weeks ago, the Olympus 75mm f/1.8 prime lens has to be one of the sharpest lenses to date for the micro four thirds system. A tack sharp lens with the most beautiful bokeh with all that compression. With a 150mm equivalent, it is a bit challenging to use, especially for a wide shooter like myself. The more I shoot though, the more I find that I'm usually at one side of the spectrum or the other, with little middle ground. I seem to shoot well at really wide, and surprisingly, really tight angles. Just shows my growth over the years I suppose, at least that's the hope! :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Retail Detail
This shot was taken inside the Yong Feng Shangdian Department Store inside the China pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot. When we got home from our trip, I noticed that I had started taking shots like this randomly inside different places of detail like this. I've also noticed that some of these have been some of my favorite photos from that trip. I will definitely need to break out the prime lenses more often for detail hunter inside at Disney.

POTD - Ruins On The Walls
I see so few photos from Animal Kingdom which has always really surprised me. I never have enough time in DAK personally. Of course, I do know that this park gets unusually warm due to the lush vegetation and areas of the parks where crowds tend to bottleneck.
I will say this to all of you, do a second half of the day at Animal Kingdom after your really hot morning. Towards the end of the trip, we went back to DAK just to walk around, and to have dinner. On top of some good detail shooting around the Expedition Everest area and a great meal at Yak and Yeti, we were treated to one of the best sunsets I've ever seen inside a Disney park.

POTD - Reflecting Inside The Cave
"By and by somebody shouted, Who's ready for the cave?"
-Mark Twain
As promised to some folks that I was talking with on Twitter, here is a non Disney photo. We went to Mark Twain Cave a couple of weekends ago just for something to do. Hannibal Missouri is only about a two hour drive from St. Louis, so away we went. I found out a lot about this cave and how it was the popular hang out spot for the town and the children of the town. Among those children and well into his adult life, Mark Twain was enchanted by the cave. So much so, the cave depicted in the book Tom Sawyer is based from this cave.
My favorite shot from the whole tour has got to be this one. There was a little fence blocking anyone from actually getting into the water. This was great for me because I could steady there to take an HDR bracket. It's fun to find where the cave stops and the water and reflection begin. :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!

POTD - Water Feature Depth
One thing that Disney's Coronado Springs does not have a shortage of is fountains and water features. On top of the brilliant landscaping throughout this resort, the touches of these water features is very quaint and very nice. I have a feeling that this resort is going to be a stop for us each and every trip from here on out. Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
