AMS & S

Rome, NY

My intent was to go to Bellamy Harbor Park last night to catch the sunset. I did get to the park but I wasn’t awe struck by the scene. I might have captured a few good images, we’ll have to see what I find when I review the images.

I did find pass a cool looking scene as I was driving home. Due to the amount of rain we have had there are puddles of water everywhere. I passed this old factory (now the home of American Metal Stamping & Spinning) and the reflection of the sign immediately caught my eye. I turned the car at the very next left and found a parking spot across the street.

My tripod legs can be flattened, allowing me to get my camera almost on the ground.  With this configuration and placing everything next to the puddle allowed me to capture this great reflection.  I liked the portrait orientaion better due to being able to get the whole lamp post in scene.

The Great Movie Ride, Hollywood Studios

The Great Movie Ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was originally sponsored by MGM. When the theme park opened it was originally named Disney-MGM Studios. Recently Disney worked a deal with Turner Classic Movies to sponsor the ride and the show was refurbished. I hadn’t experienced the new ride but I took the opportunity this trip to not only see the changes but cool off during a hot day at the park.

This ride is quite the challenge to photograph. Not only are you on a constantly moving vehicle, the lighting is not to promote pictures. I was finally able to capture the John Wayne scene but I struggled with the processing to get the color right. I know it might be a bit of a crutch but I ended up converting this image to B&W which I think works really well.
