Farmhouse and Roosting Birds at Dusk I only got to stay in this magical place for one night. If you're really into birds, then you may notice a thing or two about this photo. Iceland is known for many species of birds, and you can see a bunch of them roosting back in the cliff there. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Zurich at Night It was a cool night -- one of those nights when I was glad I lugged around a jacket all day. These dark waters that run through old European cities at night set an interesting mood. I can't quite put my finger on it... heavy and deep and dark... but strange and light and reflective on top. I think some of these things you can't quite see end up in the photo, somehow. - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
Man Sketching in Uzès After spending the day walking around the old market, I started to walk back to where I started. Weaving through small alleys, I would occasionally enter larger courtyards. In one of them, I saw this man, sitting on a step, and sketching the scene. When I took the photo, he looked up and gave a little smile, then went back to his business. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Weather Station I don't think I could exactly geo-locate this photo if I had to. But, believe me - it's in the middle of nowhere. I'm not completely sure, but I think this is one of the many remote weather stations scattered around Iceland. They are these perfect little triangular things that sit there, as lonely as can be. - Trey Ratcliff Read more (and some Black Friday love) here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Matterhorn For most of my life, I've generally only known the Matterhorn for the ride in Disneyland! I mean, I always knew it was a real mountain... and I've seen photos of it and stuff... but seeing it there in the middle of the Alps was really cool. I think I was lucky while here in Zermatt, Switzerland. I understand that it is often occluded by clouds, so this was a lucky day indeed! Zermatt was a really great little town -- I'd love to go back and spend some more time there! - Trey Ratcliff Read the rest, and some info on the new Silver Efx Pro, here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Wicked Show I was in a hangout the other night with Chee Chew from Google, and, somehow, the topic of musicals came up. It turns out that he's a huge fan of musicals and he saw Wicked here in London also. I would have never taken that guy for a big fan of musicals... and I suppose there are many lurker-musical fans out there... are you one of them? It's okay... you can admit it... you're amongst friends here :) - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
The Alps in the Afternoon The more rugged the mountains, the better they look with a low angle of incidence of the light. Of course, they also look great in the middle of the day, but since the rugged peaks are in three dimensions, you get many extra angles of contrast when the sun is low. These kind of shots help me remember the fake symbology built up in my head of the shape-of-mountains. I got a bit of this when I was learning to draw... when drawing a human face, it takes a long time to get rid of that thing that is drilled into you as a kid -- that the eye is sort of the shape of a football. If you try to do that with a good drawing, it never works. And, it's sort of the same way with mountains. In my head, I still have to stop thinking of them as a rugged 2D line. It's thousands of 2D lines, crawling this way and that, but I can usually only see one of them. But, on late afternoons like this, you can start to see hundreds of more lines. - Trey Ratcliff Read more, including a post about why I don't watermark, here 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.
Boat in Isafjordur This area is in the far northwest of Iceland up where there fjords layer into one another like fractals. I don't normally like taking photos in the middle of the day, but when the sky is the towering, glacier-carved edge of the fjord, there is practically no sky at all. - Trey Ratcliff Read more here at the Stuck in Customs blog.
