The Airship Isabella III During SXSW, I ended up at a party that had a pretty big steampunk contingent, which is of course very cool to me. I thought I had some good steampunk stuff from Burning Man until I saw these guys... This was at the Big Bang Bordello Party put on by True Ventures and Tunehopper. It was super-crowded, like most decent SXSW parties, and there was a raucous stage show with a bunch of gals in lingerie and stuff. Is it lame that I hung out with all the steampunk guys in the back? Yes, probably. Many of them were crew from the Airship Isabella, and they had all kinds of inventive steam-powered goodies. What is Steampunk?

The Continental Club on South Congress in Austin Here is the next in the series of my collection of the classic spots around Austin. I actually shot this on the same night that I took the Austin Hotel shot. You can probably see a similarity in the deep blue sky that we had just after dusk that evening. People always look at me suspiciously when I set up the tripod for a major shooting event. I’m sure that if you use a tripod that you end up with the same reaction. It’s typically 90% confusion and 10% wonder. Either way, I tend to just ignore everyone, like I’m playing a game and they are NPCs milling around.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Pub Now, I did not take this one on the PhotoWalk in Austin -- at least, not on THIS PhotoWalk. My apologizes, but this has been a busy time for me and I haven't had a lot of time to process the most recent photos from SXSW! I do have a few, and they are coming up quite soon.Also, you can tell this was taken in the winter, because the sign mentions that the rooftop is heated. In the Texas summer, all rooftops are automatically heated!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The New Austin I don't think I can do a better job of a writeup than many of the other attendees, so here's just a quick recap. We began the PhotoWalk by walking down 6th street down towards Momo's, where we met Leo Laporte and Lisa Bettany for a quick hello. After that, we weaved through the streets together, talking about all sorts of things. I also made about five other stops where I talked through my setup and my shots. On my final shot, we were working our way back towards The Driskill when I took set up for the scene below.It was a standard HDR with five exposures. I was having some trouble grabbing an autofocus spot, so I just went to manual focus just to be sure the lens didn't try to re-focus on the multiple exposures.Thanks again to everyone that came out! It was great getting to know you during the walk, and after the walk back at The Driskill.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Inside the Driskill Well here it is, the awesome hotel where we are having the event. Many people agree it's the most beautiful hotel in Austin and is over 100 years old. They've always been very kind to me -- we had our workshop in there, a book signing, and all other sorts of events. One little thing that most people don't know -- the 4th and 5th floors have beautiful paintings and art hanging on all the walls of the hallway. It's worth a trip up there just to wander around the halls and see the art!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A Night with Harley These bikes are really a fun subject for photography. I get excited every time I head out for one of these events. There are so many styles, customizations, and characters behind them... you never see the same thing twice. Setting up for these photos is also somewhat of a fun challenge. Getting the right "background" is very important to me... sometimes it just does not work out, so I have to move on and leave a pretty bike alone. The other thing about these bikes, which you don't realize until you take thousands of photos of them, is that you probably only have a 12.5% chance of getting a good composition and background. I break it down thusly: Read the breakdown and some info on wide-angle lenses at the Stuck in Customs blog!
The Driskill at Night Here is one of the photos that I process on the HDR DVD. During the Austin Workshop, we had a professional team in place to make sure everything went off without a hitch. We started the weekend with a long photowalk through the streets of Austin. I stopped to take a photo of The Driskill hotel, which happened to be the same place we held the actual workshop. I talked through the shot a little bit and what I was trying to accomplish.During the actual workshop, I did not process this photo. But I have since done so, and I recorded the whole session to be on the DVD as well. It's one of those classic "problems" where there is a lot of ghosting from the car movement.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
