Disney Street Photography for Amatuers | Manual Lens Challenge at Disney World

Every Disney trip tells a different story—and this one felt special. In this video, I take on a creative challenge at Disney World using only manual lenses and a simple setup to capture authentic, candid moments of magic. Join me as I journey through EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, and beyond with my Sony a6500, a vintage Nikon 24mm f/2.8, and a KamLan 21mm f/1.8—all shot fully manual, no autofocus, no fancy rigs. Just instinct, patience, and a love for storytelling through photography and video. At 59, I’ve been visiting Disney with my family for decades. This trip was about more than rides or fireworks—it was about slowing down, reconnecting, and capturing the small, honest moments that make Disney so timeless.
