Photos and Video from Disney on Ice 2010

Went to watch Disney on Ice recently and of course, taking photos is one of the activities throughout the whole performance. Before heading into the stadium, we naturally checked out the various stalls selling Disney memorabilia and as usual, brought a few items, of course those items are for the kids (but I’ll get to play a bit first).

One thing I notice from the performance is the lighting was quite bad. Throughout the whole 2 hours, despite having 4 spot lights, they are all focused on one Disney character! 2 hours whenever Minnie Mouse is on the ice, the 4 spotlights were on her. It’s like all the other Disney characters are not important at all. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto spend majority of their performance in the dark. Isn’t Mickey Mouse the lead character from Disney? Why is the spotlight only on Minnie? (more…)

Failed Panorama Trial

Was playing with some panorama photos by stitching a few photos together to form a bigger photo, it took me quite awhile to get the photos done due to the lack of power from my old notebook. The juice is not enough to run more than 2 programs whenever I try to render high res stuff. Quite sad but true, anyone want to donate money to me to get a new computer? Let me know yah.

The first one was put together from 7 images shot side by side one after another. Sadly, there’s a lot of ghosting in the photos due to the wind at the time I took the photo, so the trees sway and so forth, you get the idea right? Click on the image to view the larger pic. (more…)
