As I promised you few days ago, I would post some pictures of my 3 days vacation at Disney World.

Few months ago, I had to go to Orlando to a Videographer’s Convention, and I enjoyed the occasion to bring Peggy and Ryan along. I was going to my classes and they bought a 4 days PASS to Disney. At the time, they just used 2 passes and they would have to use the other 2 passes the next 6 months.

After Simon’s Bar Mitzvah (2weeks ago), we decided that would be the perfect time to have a little vacation.

OK!!! LETS GO TO DISNEY…

I thought that because all the kids are still in School, it would be perfect to go there on a week day (Thursday and Friday). Does anybody work? How about the economy?

For me, it was a huge surprise that the MGM and Magic Kingdom had that many people in. It was not as bad as Christmas time (believe me), but it did have a lot of people walking around. You will see one of the pictures that I took from one of the rides saying “wait time - 70 minutes”. Can you imagine stay in line for that long? In each park would have 2 or 3 rides that you would have to wait at least 60 minutes in line.

Just one more thing before I show you the pictures…

I AM GLAD THAT I AM BACK…

I wanted to upload some pictures on my last post, but I didn’t have a subject to shoot other than my son, and he was not on the mood. So I took just these two shots.

That was in my TV room with a little light coming from a french door on his right hand side (camera settings: NO FLASH - AV - f/1.4 - 1/30s - ISO 100)

At night, just before we went to take a shower, he was goofing around wearing my tennis shoes and using my socks as gloves. So I grabbed the camera and took some more shots.

I decided that I would shoot with the same conditions as I do when I shoot my indoor events using my Canon 580EX II Speedlite TTL Shoe Mount Flash  + THE LIGHTSPHERE from Gary Fong. NOW, the camera setting was on MANUAL - f/1.6 - 1/80s - ISO 100 (PS- On most of my indoor events I shoot ISO 400).

Today it was the “Trophy Day” at Dania Optimist Club. This means that today was the last day of the baseball season.

The people responsible for the organization of the teams, uniform, snacks and today’s great party “Trophy Day”, did a great job. We had three huge bouncing houses for the kids, plus hot-dogs, hamburgers, drinks, deserts, etc…

At the end, was the time to give the trophy to the little athletes. What a great Trophy that they got this year.

The baseball season will happen next year again, but in few months the Dania Optimist Club will start their Soccer season.

I can’t wait to see my little athlete playing soccer.

P.S. - GOOD NEWS… All the pictures are already available on Pictage Website. If you would like to see and/or purchase all the pictures taken at the “TROPHY DAY”, please ”Click Here” .

Today is my son’s birthday, but is also mother’s day. So My wife and I decided to celebrate Ryan’s birthday yesterday, so today we could focus more on mother’s day.

Ryan just turned 4 years old. We always celebrate his birthday in our house. So we have to organize the backyard, clean the house, take care of the garden, paint the deck, etc… To say the truth, It is a realy hard work just for a birthday, and we do that every single year.

But now, the party is gone and we have one year to rest until Ryan’s next birthday . I just want to wish him a Happy Birthday and show you few of the pictures that I took yesterday.

Here is a cool Video Show that I created with that pictures.
