The Continental Club on South Congress in Austin Here is the next in the series of my collection of the classic spots around Austin. I actually shot this on the same night that I took the Austin Hotel shot. You can probably see a similarity in the deep blue sky that we had just after dusk that evening. People always look at me suspiciously when I set up the tripod for a major shooting event. I’m sure that if you use a tripod that you end up with the same reaction. It’s typically 90% confusion and 10% wonder. Either way, I tend to just ignore everyone, like I’m playing a game and they are NPCs milling around.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Where to Party in Vegas 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 just recently got back from Las Vegas and betwixt a panoply of activities that kept my mental faculties on edge, I did manage to go out and get some photos, of course.   At least I am assured that these always turn out winners!I stayed in THE Hotel (perhaps it's called THEhotel).  I think you are supposed to capitalize that THE.  Before going, I thought it was just "the" hotel at Mandalay but now I know it's much different.... It was a great place and probably the best of 7 or 8 hotels I have stayed there.  Although 2 or 3 of those should barely be on the list...This is a shot of the restaurant area of Club Mix, which sits on the top floor of THE Hotel.  I was able to see so many cool places there -- I hardly knew which to process first! ...more coming in the next weeks and months!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
A Bar with a View This is an incredible bar in that overlooks the amazing city of Tokyo.  The place was amazingly awesome, and I could see it becoming a major hangout if I lived in the city.  Then again, everywhere I went I could picture as a major hangout!  Can anyone figure out exactly where this was taken?  These little photo mysteries don't last long around here!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
American Airlines at DFW I thought, to commemorate this entry on connecting people, that I'd include a photo of an airplane from one of the busiest airports in the world - DFW in Dallas. This is the same plane that I flew to Tokyo on just recently. It was shot from high above in the Admiral's Club. It was an awfully stormy day, and I was worried that maybe the flight wouldn't go off on time! We were delayed a few hours... but that gave me plenty of time to set up all my equipment in there like a dork!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
