Silver1SWA (Ryan Pastorino)'s photostream  

This photo was taken the first morning during the first hour as the sun was rising. I must have passed by and photographed this location a dozen times throughout the day. I just couldn’t help it. With all the color from the flowers and the tree blossoms, who could resist?!

So as I'm sure you have heard by now, I attended One More Disney Day at Disneyland for Leap Day on February 29th. Yup, I spent a full 24 hours inside the gates at Disneyland. It was such a great experience with amazing photography and hanging out with good friends. I think for all of us, this was easily the best Disneyland experience ever.

I'm doing a series on Disney Photography Blog about the event so check back over the next couple of days for more photos and a little about my experience!

This week on the ISO5571 podcast we discussed composition. I briefly talked about this shot as we discussed the importance of getting everything lined up perfectly when using wide lenses. I also wrote about it at www.disneyphotographyblog.com. I spent a good 10-15 minutes composing this shot to ensure perfect symmetry. Thanks to Alan Rappaport for letting me borrow his fisheye lens for this one.

Thanks for looking! :)

I took a day trip to Las Vegas yesterday to attend the WPPI Trade Show. Lighting equipment company, Westcott, promoted a new device called ICELIGHT, a simple LED wand shown here. I know little to nothing about studio lighting, but this thing was cool! At first I thought this might be a great tool to get started with lighting...but then I saw the price tag. YIKES!

Obligatory "One Man's Dream" shot. :)
