Mont Saint Michel at Sunset Oh my god getting to this location at the last second was difficult and lucky.I started the wild car ride about 30 minutes beforehand inside that walled city. I looked on Google Maps to figure out how to get to this exact spot. Now, I had no mobile internet, so I basically had to memorize the way here. It required going through, and I kid you not, about seven different roundabouts, each one exiting in a strange, non obviously spot. Anyway, to my and Tom’s surprise, I exited each one perfectly and made it here with ZERO mistakes. Note that I am not nearly always this flawless, but it worked out and we got here just in time for sunset!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Towering Old Village Aren’t medieval places the best? Yes! I wonder what it would be like to live here all the time. Maybe you’d get tired of how charming and Hansel & Gretel everything is all the time… I doubt it though!Around this old monastery of Mont Saint Michel is a curtain wall where you can easily walk along the top. It’s quite cool because every few steps there is a good view of the village and the tower above, each view offering another good photo op. - Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Under the Basilica of St. Thérèse, Lisieux After the adventure with so many great people in Paris, Tom and I rented a car and started a little road trip through Normandy. We ended up here in Lesieux, thanks to sweet sweet Stuck On Earth. The cathedral is quite amazing, and, if you go, don’t forget to go look at this extremely ornate chapel underneath the larger one. The intricate tilework must have take ages…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Secret Room, Deep in the Abbey Once you make it all the way up to the monastery at Mont Saint Michel, you have to pay to get inside and take the self-guided tour. It’s totally worth it, and you’ll be amazed by all the various rooms that are scattered throughout the interior.While walking around, Tom told me that there is an Assassin’s Creed level that is based on this place. I need to find that so I can run around it the way I really wanted to!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Sacred Heart of Paris This is the Sacred Heart Church that sits high on a hill in a very artsy area of Paris. Actually, all of Paris seems artsy to me. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be a “full time artist” living in Paris. Wouldn’t that be just about the coolest thing in the world? Or maybe you would become spoiled in just a short while and take it all for granted. It’s very hard to empathize or sympathize with any mystical miserables that might be in that situation.I usually take these with a single RAW, but I kind of like the motion in these people… on occasion it seems okay to me, like here.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Secret Church Who would have ever guessed that this immense, classically architected church is in the middle of Chicago, Il?  It's quite amazing, isn't it?My friend Fiona took me here around the time of the Chicago book launch party.  It is a great place place for all kinds of HDR photography. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Inner Sanctum Here is a cool and relatively unknown place in San Francisco.  Can anyone figure out where this mysterious location is?I went in here with my dad while we were looking for cool photo-ops.  We weren't so sure we were allowed in this place, but we just busted in quickly for a shot before anybody said anything.- Trey Ratcliff Read more here at stuckincustoms.com.
The Pillars of God This is an awesome church in Paris.  These places are great to photograph.   I believe this one was taken inside Le Sacre Coeur up near the altar.   At the PhotoWalk, I had a few questions about how to get a tripod into a church, of all things!  I wrote up a 10-step guide for this sort of activity a while ago that you can view at your leisure!I'm spending the weekend in Atlanta.  It's about 10 degrees cooler than Austin here, which means it's still inhumanly hot!  I did get a chance to do a little shooting this evening.  I'll see if I can grab the sunset tomorrow night!  I don't yet have a good Atlanta shot...  I'll hope for some good clouds!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.

Mont Saint Michel at Sunset


Oh my god getting to this location at the last second was difficult and lucky.

I started the wild car ride about 30 minutes beforehand inside that walled city. I looked on Google Maps to figure out how to get to this exact spot. Now, I had no mobile internet, so I basically had to memorize the way here. It required going through, and I kid you not, about seven different roundabouts, each one exiting in a strange, non obviously spot. Anyway, to my and Tom’s surprise, I exited each one perfectly and made it here with ZERO mistakes. Note that I am not nearly always this flawless, but it worked out and we got here just in time for sunset!
