Patrick's Hat


Patrick's Hat, originally uploaded by Brian E Mitchell.

I love Raglan Road at Downtown Disney. The food is good, the cider is cold and the atmosphere is just raucous enough to make it fun.

For those that haven't been, there is a bronze statue of Patrick Kavanagh (author of the poem the pub is named after) sitting on a bench outside of the restaurant. Kids are always climbing on it and families line up to have their pictures taken on the bench. That all adds up to a very difficult shot to get. The solution, i discovered, is to have a long lens and not try to shoot the entire statue. The result is a picture of the Patrick's hat.

  1. I can imagine that activity in my mind.:) This is one thing I love about zoom lenses. You'd never know, given how peaceful the scene looks here, that there was so much going on all around. Nice job creating something in spite of the challenging circumstances, Mitch.
