disney shot of the month

jaana — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:07:51 +0000

The Happiest Place on Earth sometimes feels a little happier when the sun goes down and the lights come on. There is excitement in the air as everyone waits anxiously for the fireworks to start (which never disappoint). The weather is cool, the treats taste better – and if your eyes don’t light up at the sight of the glowing pink castle, there’s something a little wrong with you! Gotta love it!

Love,

Went to see World of Color at CA Adventure. Didn’t have the best seats, but still oh so pretty!

This shot is from a show called The Jedi Training Academy. It’s one of my favorite shows at the park because little kids get to fight Darth Vader and Darth Maul. Some kids are super brave and fight like champs. Some are nervous. Some completely run off stage. No matter what, I’m always entertained. This last time, my cousin’s boys both went through the “training” and it was so cute and exciting! They used the Force and beat the bad guys. How awesome is that for two little Star Wars fans??

Since I’m such a fan, I wanted to try a new feature where I pick my fave Disney shot of the month. I take so many pictures at the park, that it’s a little embarrassing. But I have always been one to embrace my nerdy side. So holla if you love it!

Exposure: 1/3200
Focal Length: 10mm

Yesterday I went out for a little drive. I’ve been wanting to try and find a good spot to take some Downtown LA shots. And on my first try, low and behold, I found a pretty decent place! Granted, it was a horrible time of day to be shooting, so I’ll be going back at night to get some pretty city photos. But the best part of my day was that everywhere I went, I saw something interesting. This is pretty common for my neck of the woods. I absolutely love where I live for many reasons, including these:

Downtown L.A.

Kitchy Neighborhoods and Random Horse Riders

Beamers Playing in Big Puddles

Parks & Pretty Evening Light

And that’s just the stuff I actually took pictures of. (Sometimes there is just nowhere to pull over!) I honestly can’t recall a time where I’ve gone out and I wasn’t at least slightly amused by something. I really dig you, Los Angeles.

Love,

photo walk: castallamarre – pacific palisades photographer

I haven’t had time for a Photo Walk in quite awhile! But the other day I did get the chance to take my camera for a stroll and it was awesome. I went to Pacific Palisades – an incredible neighborhood with a mix of Mediterranean-style and Modern homes. Oh, and did I mention it’s all overlooking the ocean? Beautiful views! And I was lucky enough to be there on a perfect Southern California day.

Such a pretty place (some of these were taken through the car window, but you get the idea!)

Pictures from our quick trip to Mammoth over the weekend. It was sort of short notice, but you can’t beat a free condo. Not to mention all the trees, fresh air, and crisp weather you could ask for…

The remains of the fire of ’92

Tons of fallen trees like this – they looked so cool.

This reminded me of a bird or pterodactyl, thought it was interesting.

Beautiful Rainbow Falls – can’t believe a little rainbow actually showed up!
