The Night of the Aurora I think these happen a lot down here in New Zealand! I’m hardly an expert though… I’m very last-minute about all these things and only know about them once they start happening. Some people are real aurora experts and track them like storms. There are websites, apps, and all sorts of things. I gotta get my act together so I can plan for these events better. I was having so much fun with the landscape orientation… but then I decided to go vertical for a few shots, and I am glad I did! When I show people these photos without any explanation, they never ever ask me what that yellow-green light is in the lower part. I don’t know if they just assume it is the aurora, or maybe they think it is light from a city, or maybe they think I added it in post. I just don’t know… but I do like to see people’s reactions, especially when they are confused. I don’t know why I enjoy confusing people with these sorts of photos, but it is just kinda fun. I think it is fun because I am also confused by how this kind of light can even be possible! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Another Max Patte Statue The Hills Golf Course is covered with these amazing sculptures! I think they have a good thing going here, and I hope they keep adding more and more statues. With all these statues and whatnot, it reminds me a bit of a miniature golf course for grownups! These statues are not on every hole, but they are elegantly placed here and there. Also, they seem to all be set up for really good photo ops as well. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
I often drive along long, lonely rivers like this at night just hoping for an oxbow or some place I can take a photo. When I see surprise bridge here or there, I get super-excited, because I know it's a guarantee photo op! But places like this in Iceland are so wild to me… I just never know where the heck I am… usually I never see a bridge, so I kind of have to judge where the river is ebbing and flowing, park, and then hike out to get along the edge to find a good photo spot. But all that mess is much harder than simply finding a bridge!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
