Epcot, obviously. I think I’ve been there three times. I think every time I’ve been less impressed. When I was there in 6th grade (no camera), I remember running around to all the countries and seeing all the unique stuff and thinking it was awesome (Magic Kingdom did not get… Continue reading
I’m not entirely sure what the larger foreground sculptures are, though I’m good enough to figure out that that’s a replica Eiffel Tower. Taken at sunset in Epcot. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 225mm, 1/500 sec shutter, f/7.1, ISO 100
One of the good shots of a tiger I got at Animal Kingdom many years ago. I took a huge number of pictures, but I was more enamored with having a fancy new camera and a 300mm lens than getting good shots. This mainly meant that one of composition, focus… Continue reading
Also from Artprize 2013. From giant metal dragons to reasonably large glass flowers. This was one of a series of four or five glass flower sculptures. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 17mm, 1/40 sec shutter, f/4.5, ISO 100
From Artprize 2013. This was by no means the most impressive metal sculpture (it was part sculpture, part playground and part pyro-pandering) but I guess dumping large amounts of propane into the air and igniting it is worth something. After all, I did take a picture. I took a video… Continue reading
Another from the Sugarloaf trip, except not from Sugarloaf – this one from Jay Peak, VT. Nice place to ski with lots of ungroomed, free to ski area. I’m pretty sure we made several ventures through the center of all those trees over the course of the day. Pictures taken… Continue reading
Given our currently pathetic winter showing (I haven’t bothered putting snow tires on yet) here’s some inspiration from a different part of the country. From a trip to Sugarloaf, ME. Pictures taken with Canon Rebel 300D, EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 18mm, f/11 & f/13, 1/320 & 1/400 sec shutter, ISO… Continue reading
Leaving the zoo in favor of the aquarium, a clown fish nestled in an anemone… If you look close, this is a really poor picture as, in my experience, most from an aquarium are. There’s piles of chromatic aberration around all the anemone ends at the bottom, but I think… Continue reading
One of the female western lowland gorillas. Not as good a shot as the others because of the obvious nature of the man made habitat, but oh well, I felt the gorillas needed fair representation here. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF-s 18-135mm lens @ SEL 18-200mm lens @ 85mm,… Continue reading
Two of the three or four Grevy’s zebras that reside at the zoo with their little Mohawk manes. Pretty standard really, except that we call just call them Zebra’s and don’t care what variety they are. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm, f/11, 1/15 sec, ISO… Continue reading
