Disney Institute - Outdoor Picture Photo Gallery

Introduction

I mention in the earlier pages that I took some courses at the Disney Institute. The first course I took was Outdoor Photography.

We first began the class by learning the basics of our equipment. I was allowed to use a Nikon N-90. This is an incredible camera. I loved it and if I had the money, I would have bought that. We headed over to Walt Disney World's wildlife habitat--Discovery Island.

Take a look at some of the results of my trip.

The Gallery

Not only were we allowed to use Nikon N-90's, we were allowed to borrow an assortment of lenses. For the eagle, I used a 1000mm. It really brought me close to this eagle. This exciting opportunity was almost ruined by a plant. I cropped this photo to remove it.

The common comment about this photo is: just how close did I get. I was on a bridge just over the crocodile (sic). The tip here is try to get into different positions and locations around the subject. Reptiles like these don't pose, so you have to pose for them.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Mainly because it reminds me of what happens when you don't rub your eyes when you wake up in the morning.

Think about backgrounds when taking pictures. This picture came close to being ruined because the background didn't contrast the subject enough.

These pictures were taken with a Macro lens. I can't wait until I buy one for my own. When you can fill up a picture with a close up of flowers, you can get truly exciting pictures.

The next two pictures were taken on my Canoe Adventure at the Institute. Both were taken with my Kodak Point and Shoot.
