New York, Yellow Cab
Here is one of my favorite areas of New York. It's right by the famous Flatiron building -- but I obviously did not shoot in that direction here.

There's often a nice traffic flow, and it makes for a fun experiment to time out the traffic. Since I shoot from -2 to +2., I try to predict when the middle exposure will in the right spot to get the right amount of blur on that photo. My rules for this are a little different based on the time of day and a few other factors.

New York, New York Is it a sad thing to say that one of the most fun things I did in Vegas was walk around by myself and take photos?  Yes, I think that sounds kinda sad.  But it's true!  What a great place for photography.  The lights are insane, the textures are off-the-wall, and everywhere you look is a feast for the eyes.  It's also a real challenge to try to get everything just right in the photo.  With so many light levels working against one another on your sensor, it takes a bit to get it right.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Zipping Through Tokyo I think it rained almost every day I was in Tokyo, but that's just fine with me.  It gives you all these "Black Rain" conditions, and makes the place twice as moody as it already was.  I walked through Rappongi one evening to find a secret Italian restaurant.  I ended up having to cross the road so many times on these overpasses, that I finally decided to stop and take a photo of the action underneath.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Rush Hour 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!The HDR technique is fantastic for night shots of cities.  You would think that you could simply open up the shutter for a long time and let the light stream in.  Well, you can do that, but what usually happens is that some parts are over exposed while others are not quite bright enough.  Each of those lights down there in the busy city streets of Seoul, Korea, have different intensities.  The lights from the offices are quite dim compared to the signs on the buildings and even the taillights on the cars.  The HDR process allows each of the lights to come through at an acceptable level.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
