THE PICTURE OF THE DAY, 2/6/2014

1/125 sec, f/6.3, ISO 100 — Sony NEX-6 with 18-200
Taken 12/5/2013

“Minnie Mouse”

Around the Partners Statue in the main ‘hub of The Magic Kingdom are numerous smaller bronze statues of some of Disney’s greatest characters.  I tried to photograph them during Pixelmania but due to the parade taping I was only able to get to a few of them, as most of the area was roped off.

I wanted to use the red poinsettias for the Christmas season as they made for a great backdrop in which to make this photo of Minnie Mouse.  I got in close, zoomed in tight, and opened the aperture to its widest position to get a nice shallow depth of field, rendering Minnie Mouse nice and sharp and the background soft and out of focus.  I was using my Sony NEX-6 mirrorless with the 18-200 lens for this image.

Thanks for checking in once again today and enjoy the rest of your day.
