One Night in Bangkok I arrived into Thailand this weekend and have been in content-creation mode non stop.  I did take a chance back at the hotel to process this one picture I thought y'all would enjoy.(and yes that sun picture is real... it was burning through the bottom while still streaming light over the top).This picture is of Wat Arun, a famous Buddhist temple in Thailand.  I took it from a really cool little Italian restaurant across the way that is attached to a boutique hotel named "Arun Residence".  I will stay at this place next time - be sure to get the balcony room at the top if you come... it's just over $100 a night and is the best (and only) view of this temple in Bangkok.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Stuck in Customs in Space I love this shot!  It came out wicked. I used to say wicked a lot in grade school and I still like saying it.  This may or may not make me lame, and I can't be objective about such things.This is the airport in Bangkok, Thailand.  I am not sure who the architect is, but it came out quite inspired.  Taking photos of beautiful architecture is somewhat of a sport of mine.  I want to try to honor the lines and the textures via a good composition and a good HDR treatment.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Veins of Bangkok If you want to see how I made this (and how you can too!), visit my HDR Tutorial. I hope it gives you some new tricks!I love getting up to the highest point in cities to get a nice perspective. I'm afraid I have forgotten the name of this place in Bangkok, but it's the tallest building there. I have a good memory; it just doesn't last very long.The top of many tall buildings have bars or restaurants where you can take photos. No one ever really seems to mind. One BIG problem though is the lights inside the bar. They bounce off the windows and create an awful reflection. I usually contact someone that works there and give them a tip to turn off all the lights for 5 minutes while I take the photo. I am sure to set everything up first, so I can get to snapping... especially since as soon as the lights go off, a mild amount of panic ensues from the patrons.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
