Revenge of the Fifth
Star Wars Weekend, May 2012
Darth Goofy, Nikon D5100, Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4, 1/250s, 24mm, f/5.6, ISO 100
Yesterday might be known as Star Wars Day and May the Fourth but today is Revenge of the Fifth!. This is from my first solo trip to Disney and also my first Star Wars Weekend. I tried a little something different with this image to help Darth Goofy stand out more from the crowd. I added a slight radial blur. Not sure if it totally works but half the fun of photography is trying out different creative looks.

On this unofficial Star Wars Day (May the 4th Be With You) I thought it appropriate to share Jedi Mickey from one of the Star Wars Weekends in 2015. Unless you want to stand in line for a photo opportunity (which feels slightly uncomfortable for me when I go alone) your best bet to catch the characters is during the parade.

Italy Pavilion, World Showcase, Epcot
I always enjoy stopping to watch the entertainment at the parks when I visit. There are more than a few favorites at each, although Disney has done a good job at switching out some long time fan favorites. Alas, the show must go on…
I have never stayed to watch the Tuscan flag throwing show in the Italy Pavilion. I’m glad that I did. It is an interesting show to watch. I’m not sure if it is because I am waiting for a flag to be dropped or the possibility that someone would get hit, the show held my interest. There is a lot of movement during the show and I practiced trying to capture that movement/energy within my picture.

Earth Day
Flower & Garden Festival, Epcot
With yesterday being John Muir‘s birthday (the Father of the National Parks) and today is Earth Day I thought it appropriate to share this image of Mickey in the National Park Foundation display at Epcot’s Flower & Garden Festival.

Sorcerer Monorail 2
Monorail Monday
Although I only went to a Disney park on one day my last trip to Florida I managed to satisfy my monorail hunting addiction. I enjoyed Epcot and the International Flower & Garden Festival but looking through my 300 images from that day I really did obsess over those dang monorails.
Disney once again placed the Sorcerer Mickey topiary in the plaza between the Imagination and Land pavilions so I think I was obligated to capture it with a monorail in the background. I mean, you have to have one on the monorail track if it is in your picture, right? That is a rule, isn’t it? Someone back me up… LOL.
I tried something a little different with the processing of this image. Along with my normal work flow I added a little radial blur around the edges to bring the focus back to the center of the image. I did this as the composition did not have any way of directing your eye to my intended subject(s). I might be pushing this image a little by calling it a Monorail Monday shot, but hey, it is worth a try. I do like this topiary display. 😉
