Disney Cast Members Create Light Paintings

Two Disney cast members have been creating art in mid-air with their version of "light painting."

The cast members, Paul Chase and Matt Stewart, were initially inspired to attempt light painting after watching their kids play with flashlights on a family vacation.

So they decided to try their hand at a Disney version inside the Magic Kingdom.

Back in July the duo spent an evening at the theme park and while one "drew" in the air with colored LED pens, the other took long exposure photos of the art.

50 Can’t Miss Epcot Photos For Your Walt Disney World Vacation

A few days ago a WDWFG forum member posed the question - what do you do at Disney when you're not riding rides? My answer was pretty simple, shopping, eating, and taking pictures - lots and lots of pictures. I'm not a crazy great photographer, but I take pictures of everything when I'm a Disney. I take broad landscapes, and I love to get in on the close up image, I create stories that when ordered well back at home show the viewer exactly where I went and what I did.

Cinderella Castle Photography Tips

It could be said that no trip to Walt Disney World would be complete without a picture or two of the magnificent Cinderella Castle.

Vacation Photography Tips for Beginners: Frame It Up

Framing is the photography technique that draws attention to the subject of your image by blocking other parts with something in the scene. A well framed image can offer a sense of depth and layers, give your picture context, intrigue your viewer, and highlight your main subject. Even the most inexperienced photographer can improve images by taking a moment to stage the photo and set the frame.

The Fireworks Photography Field Guide

I love taking pictures while I'm in Walt Disney World, there are so many interesting sites to see, it's almost impossible to capture them in the ever-changing Disney Parks environment. I do fairly well at taking pictures by day, but when the night comes it's a whole different story. Before each vacation I try to read the camera's little manual so that I remember what settings I have available, but armed with my little point and shoot in the dark I frequently forget what I'm supposed to do.
