Epcot, Walt Disney World

It probably isn’t a stretch to know that I love photographing the monorails when I am in Walt Disney World. It is now a challenge to discover unique compositions and in doing so it brings out the explorer in me. I stopped on one of the walkways between Future World and World Showcase one afternoon while in Epcot. The yellow and white umbrella was an interesting site from my vantage point sitting on a bench. I just had to wait for a monorail…

Monorail Monday

On my last trip to Walt Disney World I discovered the joy of going to the parks lite. There were numerous times I just grabbed the camera, a single lens and headed out for adventure. No long lines to have my bag checked by security. No worrying if the backpack will fit in a locker along with the tripod and everything else I normally haul into a park. It was a game changer for me.

This image of the Monorail Teal leaving the Magic Kingdom station is a result of that lite mode of operation. I had the camera on its strap and as soon as I noticed the monorail leaving the station as I was walking up to the park entranced I started firing away. Normally the camera would still have been its backpack for the eventual search at bag check.
