Chinese Lanterns Whenever I walk around taking photos, I usually have two cameras with me. My second camera usually has a 50mm prime, or something along these lines. I capture thousands and thousands of little photos, but I hardly ever post them. I don’t know why… maybe it is sort of the one-photo-per-day thing here on the blog. I guess I could post more, but I don’t want it to get too busy… or… well, I don’t know. I don’t have a great reason. But, anyway, here is one of those little photos that I take with my walkin-around-camera from a small shop in Beijing.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Opera Scene The Chinese Opera almost has more photo opportunities than Burning Man. There are at least half-as-intense in their costumes, and every pose they get into seems like it is ready for a photo!I took a great many photos that evening, and I still have many more to process. As I scrubbed through in Lightroom, this one really jumped out! - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Private Gardens in the Forbidden CityOn a recent trip to China, I was invited to a private residence inside the Forbidden City. I had a two-hour tea service that was pleasant and relaxing. After this, I was allowed to wander the private gardens and inner cloisters for a while. I took as many photos as I could, and here is one of them.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post (and see a video of me on TV in China!) at the Stuck in Customs blog.
He Watches And so it was with the emperor here in the Capital Museum in Beijing.Do you know how hard it was to get permission to use a tripod in here? It was very very hard. And, the permission part had to be in Chinese, which adds a whole new layer of complexity to the permission-gaining-process. But, luckily I had a little team there helping me out with this stuff, and that made life a lot easier. After all the paperwork was squared away and three redundant layers of government officials were satisfied, the light was perfect for this shot. I rushed over to take it before the ink was dry!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Digital Aurora Borealis There's not many places where you can get a colorful sky in the middle of the night. China seems to be one of the best places to have these strange digital phenomenon. This place is called "The Place." It ranks right up there with some of the other awful names of Chinese locations. They should hire a poet or two so these places can sound more exotic. I'd be happier if it was called "Tomorrow Sky" or "The Sea of Matrix." - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Colors in Beijing It was pretty late in the evening and I was tired after shooting all day long. My assistant and I stopped at a tea house along the banks of a little lake to relax. We had a very nice serving girl that kept bringing us more and more food and drinks. I think she expected us to eat in a dainty way, but we most certainly did not. She had a pleasant disposition about her, so I asked if I could take a quick photo. - Trey Ratcliff From the blog post here at stuckincustoms.com.
Approaching the Forbidden City These are the kinds of clouds I love... these high icy clouds that are pulled apart by fast winds like long, sinuous strands of silk. When the sun starts to go down, it makes them even more silky... - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
