Seeing in Many Ways – Part 2

Back in the original post of Seeing in Many Ways, I showed some of the different ways I have photographed Spaceship Earth (the symbol of EPCOT). This trip I tried something different. Except for the very first shot, all of the photos were taken from a single location all at the one time.

Holiday Wishes

This was my first serious attempt at taking fireworks pictures. In the past I have pointed my camera at fireworks with some marginal results, but this time I had my camera on a tripod (Manfrotto Compact Travel Tripod) and used a remote shutter release. I did not, however, use the widest angle lens setting which was available to me (brain freeze) and that cost me many good shots.

All photos were taken from the train station in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World with the following settings.
