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.

Grooming and Bugs I found this male and female doing a bit of grooming just outside of the jungles of Cambodia.  I've taken photos of a lot of monkeys.  They are all over SE Asia and India, so I always pay special attention to them.  I suppose that, as a Westerner, I'm just used to seeing monkeys in zoos.  So whenever I see them running all over creation, it always makes me laugh.  I chase 'em around and take photos like a nut.  These two, however, I snuck up on.  It's not easy to sneak up on a monkey, mind you.  But these two were really into each other.  I did a low approach like a Navy SEAL to get as close as I could.  The female noticed me at the last second, and I grabbed this shot before they started to run away.This was shot at 70mm, which was maximum zoom for my 28-70mm lens.  The f-stop was at 2.8, which allows me as much light as possible in a tight focus plane.  I kept the ISO at 100 for a clean shot with no noise.  There was enough light for a quick shutter speed of 1/250.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
