Glacier in the Fog Yesterday's photo was of Glacier National Park, and today we have another glacier - but this one is from Argentina. The glaciers in Glacier National Park are really quite boring. I'm sure that's not a nice thing to say, but it's true. The only ones I saw were quite far away and not very epic-looking. Maybe I was in the wrong place, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong! :) - Trey Ratcliff Read more (and see a video of a cool workflow presentation) here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Deep into the Patagonia Glacier This is where my Russian friend first produced a bottle of cognac from his inside breast pocket. And it was not a small bottle. Even more baffling, during at least ten other major photography moments, he would pull a brand new cognac bottle from a different pocket. He was like a clown with endless streams of hidden tardis-like pockets. On one of the final nights of the hike, in fact, we were running low on food and there was nothing to drink. Upon hearing this, he simply raised his eyebrows and pulled out three full bottles of cognac and set them upon a log. This is the Perito Mereno Glacier, and this thing is over two miles wide. Unfortunately, everything is so huge in the photo that you can't get a sense of the scale. When you see huge chunks cleave off, it all happens in slow motion, just like the movies. And the sound is like an icy thunder. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Russian in the Woods Russians often just look cool. I don't know how they do it. They don't even have to try, but they just kind of have this "edge" that I can't put my finger on.I took this shot of Vulva (pronounce the "V" like Chekov did with nuclear wessuls) when we were walking in the woods in Patagonia. I had gotten up ahead of him about a quarter mile, and I stopped to take of my bag to get a snack. I like snacks when hiking. Snacks are so good. Anyway, I heard Vulva coming up behind me, so I spun around my camera to take this quick photo of him walking at me. I told him that I thought he looked really cool, but I think he thought I was just being a cheeky American.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Natalia on the Farm After getting back from one of those long hikes in Patagonia, I stayed with my Russian friends at a small hotel in El Chalten. It was a little family-run operation and the daughter Natalia helped out by running errands and these sorts of things. I took her around with me to take some photos in the little town, and she was happy to pose! It was plenty easy to find all kinds of interesting backgrounds, since El Chalten is a picturesque little town with old buildings, horses in fields, and mountainous backdrops. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at my travel photography blog, Stuck in Customs.
The Tree Alone Against the World There was this interesting tree sitting alone after a morning snow. The snow had melted, but the skies still had these white-out conditions. Those skies normally make for very dull visuals, so I thought this would be a good candidate for textures. I think, by now, you guys know I can’t stand a boring sky in my photos… and since you can’t always have a four-star sunset, maybe it drove me to use the world around me to find textures to re-purpose inside these photos. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll figure out that bit in a while.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Exploring South America This is probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. I knew it was going to be pretty beforehand, but I wasn’t really prepared for the non-stop grandeur of the landscapes. We chose the perfect time to go, right in the middle of Autumn. The backpacking took about twice as long as expected. I couldn’t stop myself from holding up every few minutes to set up for another photo. It was irresistible! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Valley To Forever The first part of one of my hikes in the Andes included a pretty serious jaunt up a mountain. This was jarring in many ways -- mostly because I simply wasn't expecting it. But, once I got to the top, and emerged to the other side, I was afforded this view.My lackluster food rations and absolute lack of Internet was not really an issue with this sort of view. It was nice to be able to spend hours and hours hiking without having to worry about checking my email. Maybe this is partly why I like adventuring in remote places so much... I have really good excuses for being slow on emailing people back! When I am on the Internet, and people see me on Twitter all the time... they know I am there... they know they know... and ignored emails and tweets have no excuse!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
My Nymph in the River This beautiful location was near one of the many glacial rivers that flows out of the mountains. The air was cool and crisp, but not frigidly cold. You can see Irina has a little hoodie up to keep her nymph-ears warm ...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
My Adventure Buddy in Argentina I'm relatively picky when it comes to travel partners. #1 rule: Don't annoy me. Is that too much to ask? Read the rest of this entry at the Stuck in Customs blog. So, I choose my travel partners with care... and I did not make any mistakes with my Russian friends in Argentina.
