The Holy HallsI returned here a second time with Scott Kublin to show him my little discovery. We didn’t have much time… and I don’t like to be rushed… but we did our best to move quickly around this area and squeeze in as many shots as we could! This is one of my favorites, a view down one of the long rows of unusual columns and vaulted ceilings…- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Little Church in Yosemite While in the meadows between the mountains of Yosemite, I did not expect to see this little church.And waiting for the right kind of light was another challenge. The light down in the valley is so strange. The sheer walls of the mountains on both sides are so steep that the sun disappears quite early in the day. Everything becomes a little-bit-dreamy then, and I felt like that was a good time to take the shot.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this entry at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Spiralstorm There are secret vortexes everywhere, no? I think we all find our own, and we keep them secret. No one would ever talk about the best ones. I'm not exactly sure what happens in them. Perhaps there is something where the right and left brain switch sides and everything flows together. This is another one of my most amazing and accidental finds in my recent explorations... can anyone figure out where this is? I'll reveal it of course, but I think it is fun when people guess away... - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Exploring the Church I like all the colorful votives. They make everything a bit more festive.... Cathedrals can be sort of melancholy places, so anything to liven things up a bit are a nice change of pace. I'm not saying we should go neon-signs or blinky-text on the church's website or anything crazy like that.... just a little somethin-somethin to spice things up a bit. And I do like that hallway quite a lot... it's got a nice M.C.Escher quality to it. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Epic Cathedral I got this shot right before the Catholic Notre Dame police told me to take down the tripod. So I had to be fast... fast like the withdrawal method. With the wide-angle lens, people do get a little bit stretched, but I think that is okay in some circumstances. It doesn't really affect my enjoyment of the photo. And, since all the columns are leaning in and whatnot, if the people were normal sized and looked perfect while all the architecture around them was wonky, THAT might look strange. So, by keeping everything a little bit wonky, it kinda works. At least, this is what I am telling myself. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Details in the inner cloister of Notre Dame I've continually asked people to do this, even though I rarely follow my own advice! It's great fun to take an image and re-crop it in many different ways. Sometimes you can take a single photo and make multiple versions of it. The other strategy is to take a bunch of different photos inside these areas, but that can require many lens changes... and I'm usually more interested in moving quickly from spot to spot throughout the day rather than spend time running through several lenses in each individual spot. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Prismatic Cathedral In the webinar, I gave people a small set of images for homework. This is the second of the two sets (the first I posted yesterday). I didn't mean for both to be from Spain, but I guess they are! Anyway, I thought it was kind of fun for people all over the world to be processing my images while I am processing them... kind of strange but cool. I will try to post things on a regular basis as we work on them together. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at stuckincustoms.com.
Church in the Fog I was driving along the southern coast of Iceland on the way to Vik, and I started going throw an area of lowlands. Around midnight or so, the sun was getting pretty low in the west, and it gave the sky a slight pink glow in almost every direction.I shot this one at a 200mm at F/6.7. I don't often take out my zooms for landscapes, but it does provide a nice compression that gives an unexpected feel to the final photo. It's really hard to explain in words, but maybe you can sense of this framing in the final result. It just can't be done with a wide-angle lens, even if I was a lot closer.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
