A Good Disney Photographer

Spacecadetswife · 04-23-2011, 02:16 AM

I thought I'd share a Flickr gallery from a photographer, who takes a lot of shots at WDW. I like to look at photos of WDW from good photographers, to see how they frame their shots, etc. I then try and duplicate what they've done. Mine never come out as good, but I try.

Thanks for sharing. I, too, love to look at other's photographs and get ideas.

As someone who is still learning how to use their DSLR, I love looking at other people's photographs & seeing what their settings were for that particular photo. Some people don't share this information, but I think its wonderful for the novice photographer as a way of learning. Otherwise, all I do is try to copy someone else's photos & get depressed because mine never work out the same. It's also a GREAT way to "break through" the whole taking photos "outside the box"... once you have seen someone else take a creative shot, then you try too.

As I'm going back to Disneyland in 4 weeks & 6 days (but who's counting), I plan on taking HEAPS of photos (I've got 2x 32gb cards for my camera... will that be enough??? maybe !) but I'm really going to try to take "out of the box" photos & really experiement with my photo taking. Even taking photos on the fast moving rides is exciting me.... Hope I get SOME good shots. !

So, I have only a few weeks to learn the techniques and settings that the professional photographers use (and only a few weeks to practise !)

Thanks for sharing... these are some great shots. I noticed the lens she used for several shots is a 12.0-60.0 mm f/2.8-4.0. Looked it up on Amazon and it's $999

Yeah, I noticed the cost of that lens as well.

I have a child to feed.

Here's another cool photo. That HDR thing looks really cool, but I'm still trying to master a basic photo.

WOW! What fabulous photos! It sure makes me realize what a poor photographer I am! I have been wanting to take a photography class, but just haven't had the time. These photos make me drool!

Thanks so much for sharing. Just amazing!

WOW that HDR is amazing I saw a fish eye was used. That is a very cool shot and I might reconsider getting a fish eye it had been taken off my wish list.

Wow, I wish I could slow down long enough to take some photos (or at least attempt to) like that. There's so much we pass up because we're heading for the next fun thing. I don't know if I could convince my family to slow down for my picture taking.

Thanks for sharing!
