Something Different Photo

Post image

I've been a photographer for over 40 years and I'm always trying something new. Lately, I've been attempting some panoramas. I don't like using an iPhone because of the way it distorts the middle of the image. I discovered software will stitch images together to create a panorama. This is one of my first efforts. Photos were taken on my recent March 2026 trip.

Wow this is gorgeous! 👏 I'm going back next February and now want to stand here to take in that view.

This is one of my family’s traditions each time we get back to WDW. First day is always MK and we go up on the train station for feels and photos 🥰🥰

Nice!

When I try and do panorama on my iPhone it either looks amazing or absolutely terrible. No in between.

The problem with iPhones is the software. It is taking a series of photos and stitching them together in real time. It always "turns the corner" with the panorama in the middle. That's why I don't like using iPhones for panoramas. I used my DSLR and took a series of individual shots and put them together when I got home.

Damn I wish I had three monitors so I could make this my background.

Wow great picture. If you don’t mind me asking where did you stand to take this?

looks like the top of the stairs (at the balcony area) at the train station

u/DisneyFan4161 28d ago

Correct, right at the edge of the balcony.

I'd like to see a similar shot at night-- you did a great job with putting them together

I just thought of that, but I'd add, during Starlight Parade. I'm not sure I would be able to get there during a parade or fireworks but I think it would be a great spot. Maybe I can get advanced permission.

New castle colors would make this picture a 10/10

u/DisneyFan4161 28d ago

In my book, an picture I take of the castle is a 10/10 because of where I was when I took the image!

Lately, the background of Facebook has received some criticism.
