The Church in the Wilderness before an Icelandic Summer Storm I drove from one end of Iceland to the other by myself, going down almost any road except the main one. I traveled down a little gravel road for a long way until I found this tiny church and graveyard. I jumped out to shoot this before the afternoon showers came down.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Trouble with Iceland is That There is None This is a river fed by the high mountains of Iceland. I took a trek across a field on a hunch that the river would have some nice curves and reflections.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Dante's Gates of Hell This is Rodin's huge famous La Porte de l"Enfer, also known as the Gates of Hell. I found it off to the side of the Musee Rodin in Paris while I was in a tempestuous mood. The sculpture depicts a scene from Dante's "The Inferno". It contains over 180 of his finest sculptures. If you look closely towards the center of the top, you can see "The Thinker", one of his most famous.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Burning Through the Clouds - Angkor Wat in the Morning Morning at Angkor Wat was a very cool experience. It was very muggy — the kind of muggy that makes you just give up and give in to being covered in sweat. I wasn’t going to any dinner parties, so I figured it was okay. Moving around the complex to get photos from many perspectives was a lot of fun… this place was a treat to compose.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Hidden Buddhist Temple of Borobudur at Sunrise This morning I got a wakeup call at 3:30 AM to head out on a distant trek to Borobudur to climb the temple before sunrise. I had a flashlight and a fully loaded iPod for the ascent. I stayed at the top and all around the temple for most of the morning, collecting shots here and there as misty clouds rolled in, through, around, and over the temple.This temple laid abandoned and overgrown for about 800 years until it was rediscovered by the British.You can see the distant volcano rumbing in the morning sunrise...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Stampede of the Wild Horses After a long hike through the mountains of Yellowstone, I came across over 40 horses sprinting from one meadow to the next. I stepped behind a tree to get out of the way and shot this one.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Unorthodox Religion Here is a good church picture from Kievo-Pecherskaya Larva for Sunday in the bible belt.I am not sure how people were able to photograph the interior of churches before the HDR technique came along. Well, actually I do - since I used to do it too, but now I am ashamed of all my old pictures. There is no other way, in my opinion, to capture the richness, details, and colors of these massive works of art.You can see a heiromonk there on the right in his morning ghostly ritual.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Geothermal Genie Thanks for all my fans and all the nice comments/emails - I know I have a bunch of unique and interesting people that come to the site!So as for this picture... I've never been one of those people that can easily see shapes in clouds. Nor am I one of those people that can pass a Rorschach Test without being immediately thrown in jail for something I might have done.But in this picture, I think I see a genie coming out of that geothermal vent. This was shot in Iceland on a *rather* chilly day.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Ghost in the Cathedral The Byzantine gold glowed hot when I got inside, a divine signal to me that God was mad because I brought my camera inside. However, I reasoned with God, the sign read "No Cameras" in a Cyrillic lettering, a lettering style I do not recognize since the Jesuits trained me in the Romance languages and not these Slavic uncials.Besides, I was inside Saint Michael's Cathedral, and I was holding a camera, and, as the saying goes, when in Rome, shoot interiors of churches in Rome, and when in Kiev, break Eastern Orthodox Ecumenical Councils.While God was busy figuring out my flawless reasoning, I spotted a cloaked HeiroMonk in is post-Matins chanting, moving in a pattern indecipherable by my camera, thus the ghostly visage in this seeming partial transcendence.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
