Unusual shots - think outside the box

A few years ago, my brother sent me a link to some photos he took at Hong Kong Disneyland. The ones below really caught my eye, as I thought they made ordinary objects look so artistic. As I paid more attention his other photos, I noticed I was drawn toward ordinary (and often overlooked) objects captured from unusual angles. I felt inspired to try this as well. While his equipment is far superior than mine, I feel very pleased with some images I have captured (though I'm still learning what 'works' and doesn't work). With digital, it's cheap and fun to experiment.

I think a few of you know that I started a thread on DIS entitled "Show me: photos an avg tourist may not take". I started that thread in the summer of 2006, and it still seems to still be going strong with 2500+ replies and counting. Pop over and get some inspiration from all the people who have posted their images.

Anyway, in addition to getting all the 'typical' tourist shots of family and familiar buildings, try to take more shots of all the little details that add to the atmosphere/surroundings... it can help tell the story in your layouts. If you try to think outside the box, you will notice that you will never run out of new things to photograph at Disney!

Here is a link to photos my brother took from the Disney parks in California and Asia: http://homepage.mac.com/imagetechphoto/disney/ If you only have a few minutes to spare, take a look at the photos from Japan and Hong Kong (since the family wasn't with him, he focused a lot on objects).

Feel free to post links to other photogs whom you find inspirational.

I didn't realize YOU started that thread! That's always one of my favorites. I always try to take unusual shots, but you know how sometimes you're (unfortunately) rushing around & miss those types of shots! That pic is awesome!

I need to go through my pics & see if I have any from this trip, at least. I finally have my pics on my computer, so it shouldn't be as hard as when I had to keep connecting my external to see them! I have no space, I had to bite the bullet & finally delete other pics off my computer so I could put all 13GB of pics from this trip on there! (Of course those pics are on 2 externals & CDs, but it still hurts to delete any kind of pics from my computer!)

Beautiful! I especially love the first one with Dumbo beyond the depth of focus.

i have a Sony Alpha 350 DSLR. Most of those pictures are taken with the lens it came with. But i did just get a new lens for xmas (a 17-70 f2.8 Macro), the last 3 pictures were taken with the new lens.

I love your photo's Tanya, I have the same camera, Sony A350, with an 18-70 lens, 18-200 lens, 10-20 lens (super wide-angle) and 70-300 lens.

Some of my pictures in Paris:


taken in the New York hotel




It was a bit foggy that morning. On the other side of Lake Mickey, you can see hotel Newport Bay.


This is how our Disneyland Hotel looks like from the inside.


This car was parked in front of the New York hotel.


Some evening pics. I don't know if you have this in the American parks, but in the Disney Village in Paris, we have this awesome balloon. When it goes up, you can see the whole park in it!
