The Glowing Bridge at the TempleThe “Temple” is different every year, and it’s always fun to explore. I usually visit the temple several times before I decide to take photos. It’s fun to show up on the scene completely green and study all the angles and ideas around different compositions with different lighting conditions.- Trey RatcliffRead the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Magical Fog in San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge I recently drove across the bridge and up this little mountain road to try to find this shot. I started driving up a road I knew well, but it was closed. Closed! So I parked, got out my tripod, and hiked about a mile up this hill to get to this spot. It was a very cool night, but there was some strange inversion happening. Almost anywhere I stood on the side of the hill was a stead hotel-room 72-degrees. And there was zero wind. It was a perfect night, and just when I arrived, the fog really started pouring over the bridge, so I set up for this shot...- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
San Francisco on an Early Morning I'm excited to share this one!I think this is my favorite image of San Francisco I've ever taken. It wasn't terribly difficult. The hike was pretty short, even though there was one dangerous part. The only other hard part, I suppose, was planning the day/night before so I could stay in Sausalito and wake up early for a quick jaunt over to this area.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
San Francisco Golden Gate by Night I’d had a very long day up at the TWIT studios with Leo Laporte and gang, where I recorded TWIT Photo and MacBreak Weekly recently. After all that, I drove down south to find a place in Sausalito for the night with Tom. We planned on waking up early the next morning for photos. Since we were so close, we decided to take a small hike up the trail near there to see the bridge in the evening… and that is when I grabbed this shot.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Canals of Lijiang at Night There must be a hundred little canals spread here and there through the old town. There are so many opportunities for photos! This is what we call a target-rich environment. This is the town I was in with Tom Anderson -- every night we explored a new area. It was an amazing time... I can't wait to go back some day! - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Pennybacker Bridge This place is right by my house…. I really have no excuse for not going up here almost every night! It takes less than 10 minutes to drive and hike up here… sometimes I actually feel bad about my laziness in this area.It’s usually not too crowded up here. Maybe a couple or two will sit and watch the sunset. It’s a bit dangerous – a sharp cliff that drops off into the freeway on one side and the water on the other.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Ancient Town of Lijiang This was a very long exposure -- about five minutes or so. I did this so I could help make most of the people disappear from the scene. It also had a nice side-effect down in the river. People would light candles and float them downstream, and the path they followed came out as little golden streaks. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest of this entry and some info on tonight's huge YouTube Live hangout here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Boston at Sunset Boston is great and I am sad I've only spent a short amount of time there. On this evening, I walked along the waterfront here to look at all the various angles and light levels. They were all good! That's a sign of a good city when it is hard to take a bad photo of it! - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Crossing Tower Bridge in the Rain My bulbous 14-24 lens is a problem in the rain! If you haven't seen the Nikon 14-24 (see my Nikon 14-24 Review) before, then most people think it is a fish-eye lens, but it isn't. The apex of the glass juts out almost just beyond the tiny bayonet, and it seems to suck rain drops into it! I'm always wiping down that dang thing.But... here's another little hint. That lens can shoot at F/2.8. That means you can focus on infinity for most of your landscape shots, and you'll only see a few, if any, raindrops that form on the lens. It's a very nifty trick! And, with a wide-angle lens, infinity ain't that far away.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
