Monorail Reflections
Epcot, Walt Disney World
The weather has not been very cooperative the past few days. Between the wildfire haze and now the rain (very much needed) my opportunities for images are limited. This morning feels like a good time to look through my images from Disney.
I have been a fan of the monorail since my first ride. Add in I’m a photographer and I spend most of my day at Epcot chasing the monorail around the entrance loop. I have limited patience fr some photography but I will wait almost indefinitely for the next monorail to arrive. Especially if the next one is the color I want to capture.
I wish the construction walls were not in this view but with the amount of construction at Walt Disney World it is difficult to compose an image without them in it. I really like this vantage point as I can include the Imagination Pavilion as well as the Land Pavilion with a reflection of the monorail. It was still worth the wait…

Epcot, Walt Disney World
I made it back! It has been twenty months since my last visit to Walt Disney World. Not only has a lot changed in the world, a lot has changed at the world. Epcot is undergoing a lot of changes too. Although the construction walls are still present throughout most of Future World, I knew I wanted to get an image of the new fountain in front of Spaceship Earth. I’ll be back again this week to attempt to get a cleaner version but for now, this one will do…

Drums at the Ready
Japan Pavilion, World Showcase, Epcot, Walt Disney World
Any trip I make to Epcot it is a certainty that I will be stopping in the Japan Pavilion for some pictures. It is a toss up between this pavilion and the China pavilion as to which is my favorite to photograph. There is such beautiful architecture and landscaping in both of these pavilions.
On the Goju-no-to Pagoda the Matsuriza Taiko Drummers perform a show numerous times a day. This is a must see show if you are in Epcot (you can hear the drumming most of the way around World Showcase). I end up watching this show during every visit. When I visited on Wednesday I spied the drums all lined up on the pagoda waiting for the next show. I had the 60mm macro lens on the camera as I was going for the Bonsai Tree displays but thought this lens would give an interesting view of the drums.
Sssshhh! I had to stand on the walkway railing for just a second in order to get this image…

Illuminations from Japan
I am by no means a firework photographer. I never even considered capturing fireworks until last fall when I went to the Photomagic 2013 event. I didn’t do so well during that trip but I did pick up on a few tips from the other photographers. I also purchased a digital remote shutter release for my camera prior to this trip and it has made a big difference in what I can do for night photography. I’m still learning and probably knowing the show sequence would yield better results but here is another from a beginner…
