Mary Poppins in Walt Disney World.
Mary Poppins being supercallifragilisticexpialidocious in Epcot’s World Showcase United Kingdom pavilion at Walt Disney World.
Mary’s hat posed a bit of a problem as it shaded her face. I used my camera’s popup flash to light up her face and add catchlights to her eyes.
to my personal journal through my viewfinder. A place where I leave the world behind and try to find the spirit of what I am seeing.

She is not an easy shot! Do you ever play with the differnt metering modes? I am thinking that Spot metering, combined with the fill flash would have brightened her up a bit (she looks dark-ish on my calibrated monitor). Overall, a good portrait of a difficult subject. (Still need to pay attention to background objects like that strong vertical lightpole…. 😉 )

Sadly, I had already packed away my speedlight. This was a fast grab shot as I had to get back to catch the Magical Express bus for the airport. Wish I had more time. I opened up the shadows as much as I could without blowing out her skin. Definitely needed a better image to start with.

Yeah, I’ve been there. I swear the camera gods LOVE to put a photo op in front of you when they KNOW you either (a) have NO time or (b) do not have the right equipment! 😀

Oh, she was looking at the FastPass photographer here. I didn’t have much say as to her positioning since she was standing next to a guest here (cropped out). Imagine the photo the FP person took with the light pole centered between them.)

My gracious, this is a glowing bright red & white and super pop Mary Poppins. I love the scepter with a bird head she is holding. Truly, a great portrait for on the go. I really like it.

She looks beautiful, love the sharp image and I have to keep in mind about the popup flash on a bright sunny day.

Oh, I love Mary Poppins! And I think your photo is dandy. Very sharp and clear and, like Nye, I am trying to remember about the flash for portraits on sunny days, too.
