Walking Through London There are many nice things to see and do all over... It's one of those cities that when you're doing one thing -- you're pretty sure that you are missing something else! And it's that same way with this fleeting sunset... the light was great almost everywhere... and I did run around quite a bit to see how many compositions I could squeeze into the fleeting time. My friend Scott Kublin was with me, running up and down the other side of the street while I was on this one. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Soft Zurich at Night These slow-moving huge rivers make for some very nice reflections. With HDR there is a problem of "ghosting" which is when the various frames show different things. I usually leave the water alone when it gets ghosted because it has sort of an impressionistic feel to it, I think. In a sense, it gives the "impression" of water, which is somewhere between a photo and our memory. - Trey Ratcliff More here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Tiny House in France So, Versailles is a monstrously huge place. I'm not sure how you could see everything in a day. I chose to concentrate this trip out in the royal gardens, and a confusing walk got me into this place. It's not exactly secret, but I didn't know about it until I walked up upon it! It is called "The Hameau de la Reine", and is generally known as the Queen's Hamlet. It was built for Marie Antoinette between 1785 and 1792. It is lovely, and this is only one of the many little places I captured there... more soon! - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
