| Chip & Dale Statues at the Hub |
This is a shot of Chip and Dale at the Hub. The Hub is called the Hub because it is like the Hub of a wheel where the spokes move out away from the Hub (can I used the Hub any more times in this one sentence?). The spokes are the different "Lands". If you continue north in the same direction that you took for walking up Main Street USA you will walk through the Sleeping Beauty Castle and into Fantasyland. Take a right and you will be walking towards Tomorrowland, left to Frontierland and a southwest turn will take you to Adventureland. When Disneyland originally opened these were the only "Lands" there were. Now; of course, there is New Orleans Square, Critter Country and Toontown (how come they stopped calling them "Lands"). There are several statues in the Hub including the most famous one of all which is Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse.
This was taken with a Nikon D800, 1/4000 sec, f/1.4, ISO 100, 85MM. With the very shallow f-stop (1.4) most of the back ground is blurred out (this is called Bokeh). The more open the shutter (the lower the f-stop number) the more narrow area of focus the camera will have. This is one of the great aspects about cameras, they can see things differently then we can. Usually they see whatever is there and they do not have the eyes and brain that we have to weed out all of the distractions. But in this case we can get the camera to take a picture of what is really not there, a blurred background.
