The Happiest Place on Earth

Famous Disney Characters
Every trip to Disneyland is different. You might go on the same rides and watch the same shows, but the experience isn't the same every time. However, there is one thing that all of the trips have in common: being worry-free and, of course, being happy.
 
One of the great aspects of the amusement park is access to entertainment for everyone. You see toddlers, kids, teens, parents, and sometimes grandparents. It's a place where everyone can enjoy themselves because there's a little something for everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a huge fan of Disney or not. When you leave the park at the end of the day, you know there was at least one thing that made you smile and forget about all of your worries. Let's face it, there are no exceptions for Disneyland. 
 
The variety of rides and activities at the park offers everyone a couple of minutes of excitement. Maybe you run to "Cars Land" or fantasize in the magical kingdom of the princesses. Wherever you go, you can expect moments of awe from, perhaps, feeling like you're actually on the movie set. 
 
Disney Roller Coasters
Aside from the roller coasters, some people look forward to shows like the famous "World of Color". The spectacular show is filled with "magic", music, lights, water, and color! The performance is one of the biggest examples of the "no-such-thing-as-an-age-limit-at-Disneyland" rule. Let's just say it's irresistible. Who wouldn't want to sit mesmerized at the dancing mists of color bursting in front of your eyes?
 
So why is Disneyland The Happiest Place on Earth? Maybe it's because everyone is able to point out something that made their day even better. Maybe it's because you're surrounded by people who enjoy a land of pure fantasy.Or maybe it's because the fun you encounter is endless at Disneyland and there is nowhere else in the world that can compare.

Photography

The art of capturing a memory in a still photo allows people to relive that moment over and over again. Even the simplest picture can reveal so much about an event. Of course, photographs that incorporate many features, like perspective or setting, also gives the spectator a lot to interpret for him or herself. 
 
A large variety of photos can provide different aspects of a single object. Many things can affect how people see a photo. A few examples would be the use of light, proportions, and angles to better portray the subject of the picture.
 
The lighting can reveal the mood of the photo. For example, dark or gray tones are associated with a more solemn setting, and brighter colors hint at more a more cheerful feel. The proportions of the objects can help draw the spectator's attention to a certain point of the image, which is usually the main subject. Also, the angles of the picture can help viewers understand the main focus of the photographer. The use of different angles allows for a large range of perspectives that people can see in the still shot.
 
In addition to the many techniques that photographers use, any items or specific features in an image can reveal more information about the event than what is seen at first glance. You can infer different meanings of the photo by what the photographer chose to include in the image. For example, including the gloomy weather or environment with a main subject can help the viewer understand that the photo represents something displeasing. 
 
Nowadays, photographers have access to a wide range of technology that can help enhance  many features of a photo. These range from the basic quality of an image to the deeper meaning portrayed by the "illustrator". Some technological advances include better lenses to help improve clarity or to focus in on specific items, and "artificial" lighting to help brighten the main subject of the entire shot.
 
The many techniques and equipment that photographers can use allows for better portrayal of the main point. The central focus of an image can be understood more with key variables like lighting, perspectives, and size. The tools available to people can also help identify main points of the image, and help improve the overall appearance. Many features in a photo, and techniques performed outside of the picture proves that photography can portray many hidden meanings that may not be seen with casual picture-taking.
