What the Ancient Seamariners Saw Imagine seeing this if you were one of the great sea explorers of yore!This is the entrance to Milford Sound from the Tasman Sea. It would have been so amazing to come across this and wonder what it was like up inside the fjord. And then, the captain could just decide to sail up inside and land some boats on the shore. Maybe if they were a little hungry, they could even grab a few Moas and cook ‘em up. After a long sea voyage, nothing goes down smoother than a Moa.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
My Kea Camper on the South IslandThis was one of the prettiest parts of the drive to Milford Sound. You can’t miss it. You CAN miss a lot of things down there, but not if you are right along this main road. This is probably one of the most majestic valleys I’ve ever seen. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Sailing Away to Akaroa Thanks again for all the recommendations! So many of you recommended that we visit Akaroa on our visit to New Zealand, and it was a great suggestion.You can walk along and see most of the commercial part and the harbor in less than an hour. One end is a long dock where they launch a few ships per day. Just as I got out to the end, this sailboat was pulling away from the dock.This photo came from a single RAW file. There was way too much movement to let me do a multiple exposure in this one.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post, including info on the podcast, at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Epic Iceland I have many things in common with Tom. One of them is the love of “Epic” scenes. These mostly come from movies, but it spans many different pursuits. He’s the only other guy I met that can also quote scenes from Lawrence of Arabia.So, obviously I do like to find epic scenes in the world, and I feel like Iceland is full of them. Capturing them the right way is another ball of wax, but that is most of the fun.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Carrier I've been wanting to process this photo forever -- I love carriers. This one is open to the public, but I arrived too late to get up on the deck... So I was stuck on the ground level -- but then a sweet fog rolled in to cover part of the carrier. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Boat in Isafjordur This area is in the far northwest of Iceland up where there fjords layer into one another like fractals. I don't normally like taking photos in the middle of the day, but when the sky is the towering, glacier-carved edge of the fjord, there is practically no sky at all. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Still Waters in the Old Town Feng Huang in the morning is very peaceful. It might even be one of those towns were a lot of people sleep late, since I didn't see many in the morning. It was at this very spot that I bruised my ribs pretty bad when I fell down. It was one of those slick mud-covered concrete areas that doesn't look like a slick mud-covered concrete area. But once you step on, it's way too late to do anything about it. There's nothing that knocks the wind out of you more than falling flat on your torso with a Nikon D3S between your ribs and the ground. I still wince when I think about it! - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Chinese Pirates One evening, my boat driver was speeding down the Li River as dusk was approaching. Every bend held new secrets as we wound our way further from civilization. I had a bag full of snacks to my left side and my DSLR to my right. Sitting out on the front of the boat, I had a full view of everything that was coming at me, so it was pretty amazing.Just before we got to the turn-around spot, we came across this old ship. Part of me wanted to go inside to explore a little bit... the other part of me was a bit freaked out. Since I was new to this part of the 'verse, I thought there could be Reavers inside. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
