Drama at Versailles This is one of the smaller “guest houses” at Versailles. It was filled with all kinds of art and the sort of ornate furnishings one would expect of French Royalty. Outside, there was a tremendous courtyard and the clouds were quite dramatic, so away I shot :)- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Gardens in Paris It was a cool and rainy morning when we left our hotel in the Latin district of Paris. The rains stopped just as soon as we walked into the nearby gardens. The sun would peek out from between the clouds and splash some extra light on the flowers below.I took a bunch of photos before the sun came out, thinking it was the best I could do. But then after the sun came out, I had to run around and re-create the exact same photos with the proper lighting! So, it took us twice as long to get through the gardens... but that is not such a bad thing.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the entire post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
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.
Country Home in French Meadow This beautiful little country home sits in the meadows and gardens of Versailles. I've taken a few photos around this estate, and I really like this arch with the ivy. It made me want to have an arch with ivy at my own house!This was taken with the trusty old 14-24mm lens from Nikon. I tend to use this lens about 30% of the time I think. Most of the time nowadays, I use the 28-300mm with a few percentage points in there for the 50mm and 85mm prime.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of the entry at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Tree and Path and Little Tower in France Walking across the country gardens of Versailles can make you feel as lazy and relaxed as royalty. And that’s not a bad thing. Well, unless you are a photographer, which means you can’t ever just stroll along and forget what you are seeing. It’s a blessing and a curse… the need to always be “on” and taking hyper-notice of everything around you. I’m glad for it though, really.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Bizarre Necropolis in Paris My hotel was very close to the Panthéon in the Latin section of Paris, so it seemed a shame not to explore the inside. It wasn’t really what I expected.I thought I would have seen the traditional European cathedral stylings that are always so familiar and pretty. I never get tired of those, but the Panthéon was a curious collection of strange crypts, giant pendulums, and other assorted agnostic items.The necropolis holds the remains of Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, and Emile Zola, among others.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Airport in Paris Upon arriving at the airport, I headed straight for the subway system. When you enter this area of the airport, all the architecture changes into this neo-gard of sorts. The lines and struts and bridges and rails and light all make such interesting lines and compositions.There was no terrible rush for the train, so I took my time to walk around and capture as much as I could to bring it home to you… so you could maybe be as impressed with this place as I was!- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Sorbonne My friend (and website designer), Fabien Barral, met my wife and I in Paris to take us out to dinner. We left the hotel, and about 30 seconds out the door, we came across this street side cafe right by the Sorbonne, the famous university. Luckily, I think both of them were used to this behavior and chatted pleasantly while I snapped away. I worked on this photo all day. People often ask me how long I work on photos. If you've seen the HDR Video Tutorial here on the site, you know it takes me anywhere from 15 minutes to three hours. This one was on the long side for sure... It was tough work, but I am happy with the results. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
