Hans Zimmer's Studio It takes me a long time to process these photos, as you guys know by now. This is good and bad... One side-benefit of the "good" is that it allows me to leave many open threads and story-lines that are continued for months and years on end (much like Lost, where certain bits get lost forever). For example, I know everyone is waiting to hear about the dead body I saw in Indonesia... people love dead body stories. But you have to wait for the next Indonesia street shot for that! Hehe...Today, I have three more photos from the studio. The third photo is the serpentine wiring system that keeps all the electrons flowing in the right directions. Seeing this, I'll no longer fret the next time I need to go re-wire my home stereo.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog. - Trey Ratcliff | Stuck In Customs

Thank you again for all the comments and feedback - much appreciated and I read them all! A lot of requests come in for my tutorial about how I do these shots - you can find it here: HDR Tutorial

StuckInCustoms > The Endless Rows of Arlington Cemetery Not too far from the capitol in DC is the sprawling expanse of Arlington Cemetery. It is a very somber place... It was just my son and I, walking around for quite a while together. I think it all made an impression on him.We stayed so long into the evening -- we were the last ones there! Except for the security guards, who walked with us as we were leaving, since they locked up behind us. It was nice, however -- they took their time and let me set up for a few final shots with the tripod as the light was falling behind the storm clouds.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > The Artist's Palette in Rotorua Isn't this spot awesome? I did not expect all this geothermal activity in New Zealand -- it was just as impressive as Yellowstone. This area of the north island is called Rotorua. This, specifically is the Champagne Pool at the Artist's Palette at the Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland. The term "Wonderland" always makes me think of a cheap attraction on the side of the road where you can buy rubber snakes after the kids have had a great time and the parents are bored out of their skulls. But this Wonderland really was a Wonderland for all ages! I made a few videos here as well... I need to get around to editing these things together for y'all!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > From the Forest, Across the Valley I've read several interesting anthropological studies of what people like to see in paintings. I assume the same thing goes for photos. I don't hyper-analyze all the constituent parts, but I do notice when they come into play naturally. There are a number of features that are desirable, most of which track back to a genetic history of the Pleistocene. One interesting bit is that we like the idea of being near the protection of a forest while looking out across a wide plane that has a sense of scale.Well there is plenty of that in New Zealand! This spot was found on the long drive to Milford Sound. I had so many wonderful distractions along the way... how can I not stop for something like this?- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > The Mighty Temple I can't wait to get back to India for more photography. I shot nonstop while I was there, but I feel like I did not take enough! As you may know, I process these images out-of-order, and I still have plenty to go through, but the pile is thinning with each ensuing week!This is a beautiful and huge temple in Agra, India. I was there in the morning, barefoot, and it was quite cool and arid. I felt a little strange running around a temple, barefooted, holding my giant camera... but it was really fun! These wonderful old temples have countless angles and compositions of interest. I did my best from this vantage to capture the grandeur of the fort.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Mozart's Coffee in Austin This is one of my favorite places in Austin! Like many other are coffee shops, it's one of those spots that techies go to be alone, together. If you know what I mean.It's full of Macbook laptops, coffee, coffee-related products, and sweet sweet Web 2.0 geeks. It used to be uncool to be a geek... but now it is quite socially acceptable. The ironic thing is that geeks gave up the concept of social acceptability a long time ago... so we are all somewhat aloof to this newfound status.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Manhattan Living When I was in New York City, I had the good fortune to spend time with Steve Simon. We had breakfast at this great little French place and then went around to do a bit of shooting. We stopped at his place and went up to the roof. Peering over the side, I saw this and thought it was kinda nice... so I grabbed a quick one.Be sure to visit Steve's site on the link above. He has amazing work and I am sure you will get a kick out of it!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Under the Cherry Blossoms I spent a while one evening in the older Gion district of Kyoto. Everything was in full bloom and there were all kinds of interesting people and things to see. It was a bit like a perfect little Japanese fairy-land. When the breeze came along, the blossoms would fall loose and flutter down like pink soft snow. I saw this couple sitting on a small stone wall beside a little stream under some cherry trees…I did my best to blend into the background as I slyly slid inwards with my D3S. This was shot at ISO 3200, and you can see how little noise/grain there is in the exposure.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

StuckInCustoms > Parking in Tokyo During the workshop, Alfie found a cool spot for us all to visit. They had a bunch of beautiful cars parked under a bridge, and these were prime suspects for a bit of HDR treatment!Look at the license plate on that car! Cool - Number 7. I wonder how you get car number 7 in all of Tokyo. There was some discussion that these beautiful low-number cars were often mafia vehicles. I don't know if I believe that, but it certainly sounds cool!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
