Disney 2013 - The Photography Experiment

[manaheim]

I've been down to Disneyworld a number of times over the years. On many of these occasions I've lugged down whatever giant SLR I had at the time. Aside from some very high quality holiday snaps of the kids and such, each time I've felt like it was entirely a waste of time from a photography-as-an-art standpoint.

This time I brought down the D800 and the 24-70 2.8 with the intention of really working to see if there was SOMETHING of interest to shoot.

The idea, therefore, was to shoot "hidden Disney", or at least "obscure Disney"... and that is all the elements that are a part of what makes Walt Disney interesting from more of a background/architectural perspective. The things that are there and visible, but the things we rarely stop to look at.

Anyway, it was an idea... I'm going through the results tonight so I'll post them up as I go through them.

Hopefully you'll find some interest here.

Interesting (reminds me of flying a kite), but try leaving the SLR in the hotel room and bringing a P&S. You might have fun, lol.

hehe... When you've been as many times as I have, this starts becoming the way to have fun. Though actually I had a very good time with my girls this year. First time both were old enough to not worry about them much beyond enjoying their company.

I'm a huge Disney geek, so I'm loving this thread and idea.

I cant see pics 1 thru 6, but would like too...

 

[manaheim]

I'm not sure why that would be the case...

Loving these!!

Nice, Bunny! I especially like 5, 7 and 8.
And as for just "having fun"--THIS looks like WAY more fun to me than Disneyworld rides and waiting in lines with 1,000 of your closest friends.

Fun set Bunny #5 is especially yummy! I like this approach!
