StuckInCustoms > Boston at Sunset Boston is great and I am sad I've only spent a short amount of time there. On this evening, I walked along the waterfront here to look at all the various angles and light levels. They were all good! That's a sign of a good city when it is hard to take a bad photo of it! - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > The Ancient Town of Lijiang This was a very long exposure -- about five minutes or so. I did this so I could help make most of the people disappear from the scene. It also had a nice side-effect down in the river. People would light candles and float them downstream, and the path they followed came out as little golden streaks. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry and some info on tonight's huge YouTube Live hangout here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > The Home of the Artist What do you think is happening here? What fanciful story can you concoct?I grabbed this yesterday while exploring inside and around Lijiang...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > Airports in China Asian airports are some of the best in the world, eh? These architects must love designing them... they get to go crazy and try all kinds of experimental things. Not only are they huge, but the inventive lines and shapes make them virtually inexhaustible subjects for photography!This shot was taken further inside the Beijing (PEK) airport as you are approaching the gate. I kept my tripod as carry-on here for a few reasons. First, so I could take photos in the airport. Second, so I would have it at landing just in case my bag was lost! That happened in Argentina once and I haven’t repeated that mistake since…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > Old Woman in Beijing I spotted this old woman walking along the outside of the Forbidden City. Just like above, I took photos without any hesitation before she noticed what was going on. I shared the photo with her after, and we had a nice little moment.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > The CNCC Here is the convention center in Beijing at Dusk. They call it the CNCC. I don't know what that stands for, but I can guess what two of the C's mean. This is a strange thing I have noticed about Beijing. Many people speak in abbreviations. I had many people tell me of the CNCC like it was something I knew perfectly well. I would just end up nodding because when I would ask for what it stood for, they were confused. "You should go to the CNCC!" they say. "What's that?" I ask. "Oh, you know! It's the CNCC!" they respond. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest and see a video of a fairly typical situation in a Chinese cab here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > The Pantheon Scott and I went out almost every night taking photos all over Paris. The Pantheon here was right by our hotel. It was a rainy night when we were arriving home, so I had a feeling it would be a good time for photography! My intuition is not always spot-on, but in this case it worked out pretty well. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest and see the long version of the SmugMug video here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > An Icy Morning, Searching for Hot Coffee Driving across the frozen bits of Iceland in the summer is always scary. I drive across a lot of ice, and I’m never terribly excited about it. I’ve been with people that drive across the stuff all the time, and they pay it no mind.For a short bit in Iceland, I got to ride for a while with a guy that’s driven to the south pole a few times. Man, that guy can really drive on ice. I remember one time he turned to me very seriously and said, “When driving across a glacier, it is important that you not fall into a crevasse and die.” I told him that I agreed wholeheartedly with that statement.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > Inside the Dome This beautiful dome was inside one of the side-cloisters in the Forbidden City. I remember spending about five minutes trying to line this up inside the camera. These can be very difficult to re-align in Photoshop. But, luckily, all my preparations paid off and it came out pretty good right out of the camera! - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > Sunflowers So is it a weed or is it a flower? I am sure people in the plant-community get as exercised discussing these categorizations as I do about talking about categorizing photography. You would not believe the millions of words and sentences wasted discussing photography and how to categorize one type of photo. I can only assume the same thing happens in the flower/botany community!I got this one with my friend Scott Kublin one day in the south of France. We had Fabien (the website designer) pull over on a tiny little road so we could pop out and get some sunflower photos. I think he almost got rear-ended while waiting on us, so he had to pull away then circle back to get us! On the second drive-by, he started honking so we had to run and dive into the car like it was an action movie.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > Boat in Isafjordur This area is in the far northwest of Iceland up where there fjords layer into one another like fractals. I don't normally like taking photos in the middle of the day, but when the sky is the towering, glacier-carved edge of the fjord, there is practically no sky at all. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > The Eiffel Tower Through Art Oh darn, I hear you saying. Another photo of the Eiffel Tower. I know I know… I’m sorry… hehe.Actually, you should see my Lightroom. I have so many interesting shots of the tower that I can’t hardly stand it. I’ve only processed a small percentage of them. Every time I dip my toe into that “unprocessed” category, I get all excited again.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > Endeavor to the Beyond This photo was a bit of an accident. I was as close as humanly possible to the launch, on the edge of the media area in the NASA compound. When the shuttle blasts off, there is a long delay before you hear the thing. Right when I took this, the first staccato wave ripped through my skeleton. I think I just hit the trigger out of fear and shock combined! But, it came out pretty good, all the same. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
StuckInCustoms > Under the Factory As I explored the abandoned airplane factories in this old section of Beijing, I went down into the basement level to see what I could find. There were all sorts of iron fixtures, strange knobs and wheels, semi-circular openings to kilns that had been bricked closed, and endless layers of peeling, scorched paint.I wanted to go back to this whole area to explore more, but maybe next time. I think this will be a great area for the next PhotoWalk in Beijing!- Trey RatcliffFrom the blog entry here at www.stuckincustoms.com.
StuckInCustoms > The Tattoo Shop I did a Google+ hangout last night where I worked on this photo. I took it just recently at the San Francisco PhotoWalk with Thomas Hawk. It was a great night... so many sights to be seen there. As usual, I had two cameras with me. One was for quick street shots with a 50mm prime. The other had my 14-24mm (see Nikon 14-24mm Review) on for these sorts of shots. I find that if I want to be on the sidewalk and take a photo of the store in front of me, I really need this kind of lens to squeeze it all in! - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest, including some neat stuff about Google Ripples, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.

This area is in the far northwest of Iceland up where there fjords layer into one another like fractals. I don't normally like taking photos in the middle of the day, but when the sky is the towering, glacier-carved edge of the fjord, there is practically no sky at all.
