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.
Meandering in the French Streets After Dark I don't sleep much, even when I am home. I get a good 5-6 hours of sleep a night; but when I travel, I'm so charged up I get less. These foreign city streets seem to have a romantic sense about them, so that impedes even more on my sleep since there are so many great places to shoot.This perfect little European medieval street was in Lyon, if I am not mistaken. Sometimes I forget here in my old age. There's a 10% chance it is in Paris. There's a long path from click to final image and my memory fades betwixt.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
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.
Merry Christmas from Notre Dame Don't miss the giant Christmas tree in front!I tried my best to sneak inside and go up top with the gargoyles, but the guards at Notre Dame are tough to trick... REAL tough!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Ghost in the Cathedral The Byzantine gold glowed hot when I got inside, a divine signal to me that God was mad because I brought my camera inside. However, I reasoned with God, the sign read "No Cameras" in a Cyrillic lettering, a lettering style I do not recognize since the Jesuits trained me in the Romance languages and not these Slavic uncials.Besides, I was inside Saint Michael's Cathedral, and I was holding a camera, and, as the saying goes, when in Rome, shoot interiors of churches in Rome, and when in Kiev, break Eastern Orthodox Ecumenical Councils.While God was busy figuring out my flawless reasoning, I spotted a cloaked HeiroMonk in is post-Matins chanting, moving in a pattern indecipherable by my camera, thus the ghostly visage in this seeming partial transcendence.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A Votive in the Dark Cathedral I love a scary cathedral. They can put you in such a melancholy and gloomy mood if you want them too. You can feel the overbearing saints from above judging your moves, and giving you a few bonus points in the big game if you light one of the votives. In a scientific study, it was proven than a votive makes a prayer 35% more likely to be granted.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Crossing the Bridge into Old Lyon This was a pretty tough shot to get! This was a little pedestrian bridge that crossed from the new part of Lyon, France, into the older part. It swayed and buckled in the breeze. Plus, it was night, so you kind of have to leave the shutter open for a long time. I hate to crank up the ISO, but I had to so everything would stay sharp.That night I walked around for about five hours deep past midnight. It was just me and my Russian friend... walking around... solving the world's problems... while he gave me all kinds of hard-ass Russian advice on how to solve my own!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Airy Doom of the Duomo The most difficult thing about this shot was hiding my tripod from the security guards. The second hardest thing was the HDR processing from this shot melting my CPU core.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Duomo This is one of the largest and most famous buildings in Europe. The inside of the Duomo is so vast that it can hold 40,000 people, which is more than most football stadiums.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
