WDW in B&W – WBW28
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World
Last August when I was in Walt Disney World I finally managed to have good conditions for a sunset behind Cinderella Castle. One of my favorite images is the Castle Sunset image from that trip. I also was able to get the image with the sun peeking out from behind one of the castle’s spires. As I started to process this image it was taking on a dream-like feeling for me and there is no better way for me to convey that feeling than to convert this image to B&W. Toss in a little highlight glow and the Orton effect to complete the dream…
Walt Disney World
In my year in review post I mentioned I currently have a love/hate relationship with Walt Disney World. I am still a fan and I will be taking more trips to the world especially after being rejuvenated by the excellent Disney+ series The Imagineering Story. My current frustration is with the decline in services at the parks and resorts. The little things that use to make the place extra special are slowing going away. Anyway, it could also be an overload condition from way to many trips…
I did a little something different this year as I processed my images. I finally worked out how to turn my favorite images into postcards. I have mentioned this in a few other posts throughout the year but I really stepped it up late in the year. I started with a group of ten images and created a set of postcards. I’m still working out how best to offer them to any interested parties but I wanted to share my results with everyone.
In no particular order here are the original ten cards…
You can view the entire set of images in the Disney Art gallery on my portfolio.
France Pavilion, Epcot, Walt Disney World
One of the reasons for my November trip to Walt Disney World last year was to experience the Festival of the Holidays at Epcot, as well as see all the parks decorated for the season. One of the activities at Epcot that I wanted to catch was the holiday storytellers in each country. I remember the fun we had with the kids years ago and was hoping to catch that lightning in a bottle. Although there have been changes from what I remember so many years ago I did have a good time. I was able to get front and center for Pere Noel in France one afternoon…
