Ripping Through the City Streets of Tokyo This photo was taken on my final night in Tokyo. It was rainy, cool, and perfect for street photography. It's hard to explain HOW clean my sensor was in this photo. I had the privilege of taking it to the Nikon Headquarters in Tokyo and having the sensor cleaned by a real Japanese guy. It was a religious experience -- and it only cost $10! What a deal!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
On Frozen Pond I probably should not have been standing in the middle of this frozen pond, but when you are raised in Texas and you rarely get to see anything frozen, you get fascinated by large frozen bodies of water. I just stared at it for a long time like a deer that's never seen headlights in the forest. I felt the saying, "When in Rome", and somehow replaced it with "When in Reykjavik..." I slowly shuffled my feet out to the middle, using my tripod as an Imperial Hoth Walker to secure my footing. Once I got to the right spot for the lens, I ripped off a few shots before heading over to the safely of the shore.- 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.
My Kinda Town 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 am excited because I upgraded and got the Nikon D2X. This thing is like carrying around a small tank. It's so large that it actually sucks other nearby cameras into it, automatically amalgamating all their megapixel power.I took this at the top of the John Hancock this evening as night fell.It was done with 9 exposures. I figured, why the heck not.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
