The Sorcerer's Hat at Disney's Hollywood Studios is a giant showpiece based on the hat worn by Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer's apprentice in "Fantasia.
Sometimes when I go out on a shoot, I come back with a lot of images I like, but I try to narrow it down to one or two good ones to post here on the blog. Later, when I revisit the images, I'll see a few more that I like too. So I'll repost the same subject again, but hopefully with a different twist. That is the case with this image of the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir. This was actually taken on my second visit about a year ago. You can find some other shots and more information of this Hindu Mandir here.
As part of my on-going attempt of looking at the closer details, I found this iris by the lake at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando. My first several shots were the old habit. Set up the tripod and grab the sunrise, the big picture first. After I get that out of my system, I reminded myself that I need to find something smaller to isolate on, or at least include it in the scene. While it’s not an extreme close-up, I think it does add to the appeal.
